Greetings Fellow Commanders

Here is the update for my Mod, Alternate History-Silver Wings II;
Despite I never get any feedback regarding playbility, bugs found or anything IN GAME, I decided to keep working on improvments and hunting for bugs with a very dedicated close friend;

The mod was tunned and we believe the balance is fair enough for both sides;

- New art plane/ships added;
- New Video intro to reflect the mod concept added;
- Revised OOBs;

Any content of this mod can be used by the community freely;
Players can face the AI but there is no script for it;

Below is the link for the files;
Please back up your original files;

Thanks Ryan!

Tested. The air war is very nice but althoug I understand the 1941 is 1954, there is a lot of thing which must be updated to the new start date to "make sense" the mod.

The idea is amazing. Keep on it!! [;)]

Hi Traskott;

Thanks for the feedback and glad u liked; As a matter of fact the time frame is 1949-1955, that said due engine limitations to handle post 1946 pilot's replenishment I was forced to make the corrections for the 41-46 era, which means that 41 OOBs IN FACT depicts 49 OOBs more or less for all nations involved;

For those testing the mod here is the top and alfa update for the B-45 and RB-45 Tornado;
Extract the contento into the ART folder/ AliedPlanes sub folder and replace the old files;

Ok, but OOB must be modernized to make real it's 1949, ie: inf squad 49, no IFV, more M-24, M47....

Regarding the nomenclature yes I completely agree with you as they indeed appeared in that fashion at the ver 1.0 of the mod; updated and will be uploaded;
For the IFVs, I rechecked all the TO&E and didnt find any..only APCs are present; if you could point any IFVs with slot number it would be very appreciated;

- M-24s are the bulk of US light tank Bn and french tank units till "1952" for the first as described by most of sources I was able to find on the net, mainly "The Armor Debacle in Korea, 1950:Implications for Today"
by ARTHUR W. CONNOR, JR.

For the frenchs they were the mainstay during the Indochina war;

-M-47/48 only replaced the Pershings by 1953 in RL with limited numbers of the M-46 serving at Korea so I decided to just place the M-48 as MBT for US armored units instead deploying M-46s than M-47 than M-48s;

Niiice.

Have you been able to get regulus to hit targets? [:D]

[:D]As a matter of fact I did;
But unfortunately not in a manner that could work in game so it is there more like regular sub than as an "attack"sub

Wait a moment.

Have you thought about making Regulus a DEVICE Type 18 NAVAL GUN?

Give it a range of 300 KYards (170 miles)
Set accuracy to about 50-60

Submarines would still be able to use it (witness the Balao 'gunboat' with twin 5/25s for surface actions), albeit only surfaced; and you could use it on other ships like USN cruisers and carriers (10 CV were configured to launch them)

Hi Traskott,

Here is the link with scen files, it depicts now the correct nomenclature for the period;

Yes Sir! that was precisely what I did;
The Regulus is indeed a device , slot 1787 as a naval gun;
I gave it the range of 575 miles and accuracy of 59;
But all the tests I made I never was able to hit ground targets and as far as I know it was designed for that purpose;

Out of topic! two very nice videos about our Air Force and Army during ww2;
