1.8 and starting over

Post by DDLAfan »

Ok, just spent two years of my life battling to Dec 1943 as the japs. With the new patch out, were thinking of starting over. Also, were thinking of incorporating Nik's mod.

Since this game will take more years, can people out there let me know if the Nik Mod gives a more historical feel to the air combat. That's the only thing I want fixed to make the game perfect (for me), the air combat. Please let me know. And for those that don't like Nik's Mod, sound off as well... Thanks

Can't atest to air combat (I'm very conservative). But his mod does slow things way down ...

I play Nik Mod now.
A2A is less bloody, so more aircraft get through to the target - this is good.
Because more a/c get through, more are damaged or destroyed by Flak - some complain bitterly but i'm fine with the result.
Yes Flak ratings were increased, but only as a result of a/c durability increasing - done to keep the flak effects balanced.
As with most Mods you take your choice and live with the consequences.

I too think Nik's mod is EXCELLENT. That Nik Bloke is a really smart guy. I think he should be elected President.

it is just opposite to stock version - planes even unescorted will almost always get through -i would prefer sth close to nik mod but with slightly better cap efficiency - it is not perfect but still better than stock A2A combat model
