Currently I'm playing IL2 1946 patched to version 4.12.2 with SAS Modact 5.3 and Asura's Dgen mod where I started a US Navy bomber campaign (Stock Dgen) where I just ended the Midway campaign but to my dismay both the Midway and Coral Sea campaign were a major disappointment because of the following reasons:
- The vast majority of missions were either Submarine Recon, Submarine Strike and pilot "rescue" (which basically are the same, the difference is that the first two have Submarines and the third no).
- Between both Midway and Coral Sea campaigns only one Carrier Strike mission was spawned (in the Coral Sea campaign and none in Midway) and two Carrier recon missions were spawned (one in Coral Sea and another in Midway).
- Besides in the Carrier Strike and Recon missions the enemy carriers appeared alone without any escorts (no proper carrier group only unescorted carriers).

The main reason why I installed and play IL2 1946 is because I'm eager to play as a USN bomber pilot mainly during Carrier Battles.

So what I'm asking here is if there is any good carrier battle campaigns (such as Midway and Coral Sea) out there?

Thanks in advance for replies...

Hi Ric,

Do a search here for an upcoming campaign called Pacific 2014. It's had a lot of hard work put into it, and may be just what you're looking for.

If you are interested in trying the DCG campaign generator, I highly recommend Lonestar's Carrier Operations campaign set: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php?topic=26232.0

First of all, thanks for the replies

@solotk,

That upcoming Pacific 2014 campaign looks great and I actually read something about it recently but from what I read this campaign will be only for HSFX, right? Or will it have versions for other IL2 1946 installs such as ModAct (which is what I currently use) or even Stock?

Unfortunally I don't like HSFX mod much because (and only because, I admit) of the ship damage model which is greatly exaggerated since ships are too resistant to aerial bombs - for example Japanese destroyers can withstand with 1600lb bombs (or with 3x500lb bombs) without having any visible damage such as pouring smoke and/or burning!


@vonofterdingen

That Lonestar's Carrier Operations campaign set that you posted seems to be exactly what I'm looking at but from what I read in the link this will only work with DBW mod or will it work with other mods (such as ModAct)?

If it only works with DBW I guess I'll have to try it but could you (or someone else) confirm this?
