The E, Part I.  Sleeping Giants

This campaign was made with Il-2 1946, 4.10.1 #DBW.

I can't verify if this campaign will work with anything else (but I wouldn't count on it).


This is the first of a multi-part campaign series that covers the deployments of the carrier USS Enterprise (CV-6), from the beginning of
the War in the Pacific to the war's end.

The E, Part I: Sleeping Giants tells the story of the Enterprise from the immediate aftermath of Pearl Harbor, the early 1942 carrier raids, the Battle of Midway, and finishes with the Battle of the Eastern Solomons.

There are three separate campaigns, one for dive bombers, one for fighters, and one for torpedo bombers.

In the dive bomber campaign, you will fly the SBD-3 Dauntless with Scouting Squadron Six, and after Midway, with Bombing Squadron Six.  There are twelve missions in this campaign.

In the fighter campaign, you will fly the F4F-3 and then the F4F-4 Wildcat with Fighting Squadron Six.  There are thirteen missions in this campaign.

In the torpedo bomber campaign, you will fly the TBD-1 Devastator with Torpedo Squadron Six, and after Midway, you will fly the TBF-1 Avenger with Torpedo Squadron Three.  There are seven missions in this campaign.



Hey, remember me?

In my campaigns, always start with the highest rank available.  You will thus have command of your squadron in the air in all missions, allowing you to order individual flights to attack specific targets.


This will NOT end well...

There is usually a lot of air activity going on during these missions.  This is a little reminder that there is more to this war than just you.  Cycle through the cameras if you want to see what else is going on.


Don't look up!

All missions have been made as historically accurate as possible, though due to map limitations, sometimes I had to get a little creative with the geography.


The REAL first Avenger...

Hi I tried to install the mods; TBD1 works fine, but with F1M my dbw (modded)  does not start ...

my question is: I have seen that the only two missions where there is F1M are bomber_12 and fighter_4 is that correct ?; so if I change only in those two missions the F1M with the RUFE (A6M2N - float plane) do you think those missions should work fine ?
that's my only hope to play your campaign, with my modded dbw and really I want to play your campaign ... please tell me

If you go into the mission file and change the aircraft, it should work fine, I expect.

Let me know if it does.  Good luck, and thanx for downloading.

Yes it works but:
Mission 12 I have to remove bombs (weapons default)
On mission 4 the jap plane has german cross instead of japanese red sun ..

May I do anything to fix those minor problems?

Huh, didn't do that in my test.

I would just go into the full mission builder, click on the Japanese airplane in question, and add the needed skin.  Or if there is no skin for that aircraft, change the nationality to Japanese.

BTW, if you are flying the dive bomber campaign (otherwise, let me know), I just checked, and the aircraft (I assume you mean the H8K Mavis) is in Japanese markings, so no, everything is fine in the test I just ran.

Take care, and again, thanx for playing.

Also, I

ok I solved the marking etc

one question about "torpedo" campaign; in the first mission briefing you wrote to use as skin the "PK_TDB-1_VT6_ enterprise42" but I did not find it in the skin directory

I just checked the skin folder in downloads.  It's in there.  Might be something about that skin that doesn't show up in your system (seen that happen before, but I'm no expert).

To simplify things, just download a TBD skin from either here or Mission 4 Today and use that one.
