Sorry for my terrible English, i`m from Russia

1) please, give me "Air Combat" formulae
2) i`m think - "Bomb" formuare from manual is wrong -
formulae not consist 'cannons' value, only 'load'
3) in WiR:Matrix project Air Database - VERY strange,
wrong and unlogic
4) in game very short 'cost' limits - only 1-9 !
unit with cost 10 and more - not produced !
i`m think - may be made it limit as 1-50 ?
and relative increase factory power ?
it made tech data more flexible and realistic
5) in additional - i`m create path for WiR:Matrix, try it !

download "wir_ntp2.exe" file on my site vvsvvs.webjump.com

P.S. i`m see, again and again, old famous mistake :-)
in KV-1S - "S" - it`s not "Shielded" - it`s "Speed" !
and armored rating set as KV-1`39 -> KV-1S -> KV-1`41

You are doing just fine Vadim! Image

Go to the "Data Inconsistiencies" thread on this Forum. You will see what is the last data that was given to the team by our programmer on the subject.

The bomb formula in the game you are playing has likely changed from the data you have in the old Manual. We'll try to get some updated formulas to the group when our programmer is back in town.

In what way/ways is it wrong? Valery Zhigarev,also from Russia, did a complete rework of the Planes database for the game. Many values changed, but many stayed the same as well. If you can be more specific, maybe we can shag Valery down to answer your questions.

Well, those were the cost ranges from the priginal game we worked with. If we do a Ver. 3.0, we have already discussed increasing the range of these possible values.

We agree, awider range of costs needs to be available, but...too much coding for this initial patch of the game.

Well, we have addressed many of the problems in the Tank data base with modified values as well...these however did not get editied into the campaing '41 scenario. Look for "our take" on these values to follow.

Thanks for th epost Vadim!

Thanks, i see... But i`m need in "bombing" formulae too!
As bombers of different types dealt damage to city, troop, tank ?
And why is "heavy bombers" ? In it`s formulae from forum -
"heavy bomber: dogfight/4 + experience/16 + cannon * 2"
I`m knew only 6 aircraft types - Fighter, Fighter-Bomber,
Dive bomber, Tank destroyer, Long Range (Bomber) and Transport.
Give me, please, e-mail of Valery Zhigarev - i`m talk with him
about strange airforce database.
Also, i`m modify my "WiR Light Editor" to "WiR Heavy Editor" and
very needed in specific information - please, give me principles
and offset in .EXE file following data -
1) As coding relatives between unit and picture, that his drawing ?
I`m build "link table" and change some pictures,
but unknew - as change it link?
For example - IS-1 and IS-2 drawing picture #12,
from file tank2.sym both. But it`s wrong !
IS-1 have 85mm gun, but IS-2 have 122mm - their picture MUST be
different ! However, this file contain two unused picture place.
I`m want change IS-1 picture link from picture #12 to picture #8
(KV-85) or create new picture specially for IS-1.
2) As coding "production type" ? ie - where unit may produced -
in German or Italy or Soviet or Murmansk or Allied Strategy Bomber
Command only ?
I`m want replace one land-lease aircraft, such as P-63,
for example, to soviet airplane, may be Pe-8 or other...
But i`m need this information to tank and aircraft both.
