Slightly Modded Scenario 2.

[RyanCrierie]

I threw this together this morning for my personal fun-time. You can download the 7.7 MB file HERE

Warning though; BACK UP your A_PlaneSide.bmp in /ART first.

Nothing too extreme; I added the TBY, C-74 and F2G-2 to the game, as well as reworking the Carrier names for the US; and adding the ships which would have been built if the Summer '45 slowdown of procurement hadn't happened.

You can read more at the link and see some pictures.

Updated the scenario (and restarted my game again) -- at this rate, I'll be in 2010 before I get to 1943! [X(]

I added IIs to a lot of the US Capital units that appear later in the game, so that you can decide what names to bring back; and put hull numbers into the names; resulting in screens like this:

We are now on Version 2.2 of that scenario.

Scenario Changes:

Game now ends May 1947. The invasion of Japan (if you do it) is not going to be easy.

Aircraft Changes:

B-19B Raider is available from 11/1943 in the following units which will appear in Eastern USA.

-------510th BG/600th BS

-------510th BG/603th BS

-------511th BG/604th BS
-------511th BG/605th BS
-------511th BG/606th BS

-------512th BG/607th BS
-------512th BG/608th BS
-------512th BG/609th BS

Each Squadron has eight out of eight aircraft, for a total B-19B strength of 72 aircraft in the game.

------------

P-40Q Warhawks become available as new build aircraft for the USAAF and ROCAF (Nationalist China) from 12/1944.

F8B-1 Intruders become available at the rate of 75 a month from 2/1946.

---------

Because of game engine limitations, they're configured as dive bombers; instead of carrying 4 (!) torpedoes.

------------

TBY-2 Sea Wolfs become available at the rate of 140 a month from 3/1944.

FH-1 Phantoms become available at the rate of 75 a month from 3/1946.

P-75A Eagles become available at the rate of 75 a month from 11/1944. (the aircraft data is not really fully accurate.)

AD-1 Skyraiders become available at the rate of 75 a month from 11/1945.

AM-1 Maulers become available at the rate of 75 a month from 11/1945.

F5U Flapjacks become available at the rate of 75 a month from 12/1946. (the aircraft data is not really fully accurate.)

P-80A becomes available 9/45 with 75 per month

P-82B becomes available 12/45 with 50 per month

F2G-2 becomes available 1/46 with 40 per month

FR-1 Fireball becomes available 8/45 with 70 per month (700 were ordered)

457 - "PB4Y-2B Privateer" - 100 available from January 1945 in the pool; carrying Bat ASMs. Historically VPB-109, 123, and 124 were equipped with -2Bs and Bats. Historically, about 3,000 Bats were produced, so at 100 aircraft, that's 30 Bats available to be fired per plane.

Aircraft House Rules:

TB2Fs, F8B-1s, TB2Ds, operate from either land bases, or CVBs. Anything else is just too small to even begin to operate them.

SHIPS:

Major fleet units built after WWII except for class leaders, have had II added to their name, allowing you to rename them to your fancy, depending on how well or bad the war goes; and over different areas than historical – there may be no battle of Midway for you...

Hull numbers have been added for carriers and major surface combatants; e.g. "Enterprise" is now "-6 Enterprise"; which in game appears as CV -6 Enterprise.

Ships named after sunken ships have had their original names restored, and names have been rejiggled to fix this.

Additionally, the Essexes that were delayed or cancelled at the end of WWII have been put in, with the exception of the FY45 ships; since by the time they'd be ready, it'd be 1947; and we'd have won in Japan by then.

Changes to Carriers:

CV-10 B.H. Richard <--Original Name; was renamed after Yorktown

CV-12 Kearsarge <---Original Name; was renamed after Hornet

CV-14 Hancock <--Original Name; was reshuffled with Ticonderoga

CV-16 Cabot <--Original Name, was renamed after Lexington

CV-18 Oriskany <---Original Name; was renamed after Wasp

CV-19 Ticonderoga <---Original Name, was reshuffled with Hancock

CV-31 Alliance <---Different Name, since B.H. was taken up by CV-10

CV-32 Crown Point <--Added to game, and renamed to original name; since she was renamed USS Leyte in @.

CV-33 Kitty Hawk <-- Different Name, was Kearsarge.

CV-34 Cumberland <--Different name, was Oriskany

CV-35 Reprisal <--Added to Game

CV-37 America <---Added to game, different name, was Princeton. I am assuming the CVL doesn't sink.

CVB-42 Coral Sea <--Original Name, was renamed after FDR when he died.

CVB-43 FDR <--Was Coral Sea.

CV-45 Valley Forge <--Added to game

CV-46 Iwo Jima <--Added to Game

CV-47 Trenton <--Added to game; used to be Phillipine Sea; but changed name since it was too long, and wouldn't allow 'II' enabling renaming.

CVL-48 Saipan <----------Added to Game

CVL-49 Wright <----------Added to Game

Weapon Changes:

Device 1687 -- Renamed to 53cm T95 Mod 1 Torp to be accurate.

Device 1770 -- New Weapon; US "21in Mk 16 Navol TT" <--No use found for it yet; in the game if someone wants to mod their submarines to have Oxygen Torpedoes from 1944 onward. This was a historical weapon that we did have but never deployed.

Device 1771 -- New Weapon; US "21in Mk 17 Navol TT" <--No use found for it yet; in the game if someone wants to mod their submarines to have Oxygen Torpedoes from 1944 onward. This was a historical weapon that we did have but never deployed.

Device 1772 -- New Weapon, US "SWOD Mk 9 Bat"

New Ship Classes:

The Wakefield Class Liners (Wakefield, Mount Vernon) and the West Point Class Liner West Point can be converted to a CVE based off the President Hoover conversion proposal in 1935; for a 20 kt ship with an airgroup of about 60 aircraft. Delay is 360 days from conversion beginning.

I see that you added the Bat to your scenario.

Have you tested it?

I have not been able to get PGM work for the Allies. I downloaded your scenario your BAT is very similiar to mine.

[Akos Gergely]

Brilliant!

Ryan could I please request one more a/c?

My old time favourite is the Douglas XB-32 (heavy bomber contender).

XB-31

B-31 Raidmaster

Ovverall I guess you could have some use from this side, a lot of projected plane's models:

Ryan - Question - Where should I put the included Art File with your new v2.2 scenario ?

[RyanCrierie]

Have you tested it?

Unfortunately, no. I did try testing a JB-2 Loon based bombardment rocket with a range of 150 nm; but that didn't work.

I'll see what happens when I hit 1945; right now I just want to play the game [:'(]

[R8J]

OK. I don't blame you.

If you did get it to work I was wondering what I did wrong.

[RyanCrierie]

My old time favourite is the Douglas XB-32 (heavy bomber contender).

I've got drawings for virtually every "projcect plane" the US did. [;)] The only limitation is time, and I'd like to play the game. Perhaps for V3.0?

Ryan - Question - Where should I put the included Art File with your new v2.2 scenario ?

Unzip the file with folders enabled; and put everything in ART into your WITP ART folder, and everything in SCEN into WITP SCEN folder.

[Akos Gergely]

Sounds way coool to me! Thanks for your time! I only hope someone will mod Terminus' Downfall sceanrio to take all these planes, otherwise we won't use them for months....
