Philippine Peashooter - A Campaign for BAT!
« on: May 04, 2019, 04:29:16 PM »

And here goes another one:



This is a semi-historical, 5-mission mini-campaign, set during the initial onslaught on the Philippines in late 1941. You are a Filipino fighter pilot in the 6th Pursuit Squadron, flying the obsolete Boeing P-26. (In one mission you will fly the Lockheed Super Electra.) Yes, this is probably the only campaign ever made where you get to try on the role of a Filipino pilot! In real life this unit fought valiantly beside the US air units during the Japanese onslaught on the Philippines, but it REALLY had the odds stacked against it. The P-26 is indeed fun to fly, but beware of the Zero's! Converting this campaign to BAT also gave me the opportunity to add many of the great Japanese aircraft connected to the early war years that has been made by modder gio963otto. Not to mention the total overhaul that BAT and 4.12 brings.

The campaign makes use of several of the randomizing features of the C&C Mod, which means that not only the weather and the time of day will vary, but also the skill of the opponents and their numbers. A single mission will not play out exactly the same, if you repeat it. It is quite possible to fly some of the missions without meeting any opposition at all. (And you better pray that you don't meet any "Zero" fighters whilst flying the obsolete P-26. With a bit of luck, you won't.)

Important help in the conversion work has been given by Willyp - thanks a lot man! Included in this campaign is 9 skins, made by Max the Hitman, Graf, Dona, Archie and Stanislao. Thanks for this! Without skinners no campaigns!

Thanks for looking  :)

Thanks for all your campaigns!

This one is fun. One thing I noticed is that on the first mission several of my wingmen crash into buildings as they take off or crash shortly after liftoff. Didn't know if this was a bug or if I was doing something wrong.

Ok, I have tweaked the take-off paths a bit. Test the new version:

Same experience. But after all accidents can happen, especially in a night take off. Sadly since the lead crashed, the wingman that was with me (and did nothing during the flight against ennemies by the way) crashed when I landed, since I couldn't give him any order.

Mission 2 and 3 were flawless, but oh boy how difficult it is to aim with this reticle. Didn't know I could (and should) attack the nell from very low 6, my peashooter got peppered severely.

1st time I flew this baby, it was pretty nice and the airfield scenery is superb.

Aaaalright! I gave them a whole new runway on mission 1. And some runway lights  ;)

I think they will make it now. Have a go!  :P Updated version here:
