B-25's additional cockpits & loadouts, air-to-ground gunners
« on: April 17, 2011, 09:06:11 AM »



This mod is an alternative to old AAA B-25 cockpit mod, but also contains additional weapons loadouts, that why this warning notice is placed here.
Mod gives 3 more cockpit positions, compared to AAA cockpit mod: co-pilot, waist gunners positions for H-1 & Bendix turret operator position for G-1 & C-25.


Bendix turret periscope view

UPDATE: Six .50 cal turret machine-guns is not a dead weight on ground attack missions anymore - AI gunners now can use it to shoot ground tagets.

Weapon loadouts extension or "Strafers" mainly focused on naval weaponry.
Additional loadouts to experiment with:

40x parafrag bombs
40x parafrag bombs + 8x 5" HVAR
8x 5" AP HVAR rockets
6x Mk 53 charges +8x 5"AP HVAR
8x Mk 53 deepcharges
8x Mk 53 charges +4x Mk 25 markers
Mk 34 torpedo + 8x 5" AP HVAR
Mk 34 torpedo +4x Mk 25 markers
Mk 34 torpedo + 8x Mk 24 flares
Mk 34 torpedo +4x Mk 53 charges
2x Mk 34 torpedoes

for B-25J-1 in v4.10_ only:

4x RAZON guided bombs
2x SWOD Mk 9 "Bat" bombs

U can get Mk 24 flares, Mk 25 markers, Mk34 torpedoes & Mk53 deep charges with P2V Neptune mod by Flakiten, Nightshifter & Jolly (posted by SAS~CirX): https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,774.0.html

To install, remove previous version of my mod and unpack the RAR folder to your \MODS directory. U will, probably, have to comment old AAA B-25's cockpit mods, if U have some.

Have fun !

Probably, old AAA mod loaded first. Comment it by placing '-' sign as first symbol in folder name.

Curriently working on similar B-25G-1 Strafer mod. It have more cockpits, player control over Bendix turret, and gunners, capable to target and strafe ground targets. It's funny to teach AI to do bad things  8)

B-25H-1 Strafer air-to-ground gunners
« Reply #10 on: April 24, 2011, 01:34:03 PM »

Well, I planned this feature for B-25G-1 first, but it turns out so, I maked this for H-1 earlier.
It's a small programming routine, that makes gunners on AI and player B-25s attack ground targets.



Strafer's gunners wreaking havoc on plane parking, riddling with bullets everything in view.



Brand new way to strafe columns - fore guns firing on ingress, turrets on egress.

Gunners control
U can instruct your gunners to shoot surface target this way - look at desired enemy target (in any cockpit or external view) and press "sight automation" button. Appropriate turrets will start tracking designated surface target and start shooting from 1 km range. To cancel target press "sight automation" button again. If U using padlock and setting or changing padlocked [ground] target, gunners will change aim accordingly.
Gunners control not working, then autopilot engaged - AI takes control.
AI planes handling own gunners by itself (one difference: on AI-controled planes, upper turret will not lock on gnd targets in fore hemisphere).

So, turn on your mood music (I prefer Walkürenritt), and go hunting with good company aboard  8)
