Looks interesting
What did you add ?
Well, first of all, this DGen campaign works on Kurland map
without Ostfront, thanks to Asura's proprietary DGen; indeed, the campaign does not use
anything from Ostfront, sharing only the map, otherwise
included in all stock game versions, at least from 4.07m (the older I have installed - but I think even from 4.04m or earlier).
For the rest I dedicated assuring it working on all possible version of game, trying to exploit all available features to comply with historical facts. For instance, I gave, wherever possible the Fw 190A armament deprived of outboard wing cannons, according to what I could find in literature (please watch following examples):
version 4.12.2 allows a nice "fighter" loadout option, just modeling this feature, but for compatibility issue with older versions I was forced to set U3, which adds empty bomb rack too.
Unfortunately, neither TD nor modder applied this feature to later variants (A-8/A-9), on the contrary of what witnessed by literature:
Like in all my campaigns, a quite accurate setting of daylight range of hours (sunrise and sunset times) as well as local weather averages (good/bad weather probability), both based on meteorological data (centered on Riga values), have been set, to bring player possibly close to geographical reality.
I would have been more accurate about historical squadrons, at least on German side, since right now, developing a 4.09 dedicated version, I'm noticing some
Gruppe couldn't be there or still was after I removed (like III./JG51)... Sorry!
