Welcome to the Operation Leader 2.0 mission pack! This pack contains four historically-based missions for the United States Navy and one fictional mission for the German Luftwaffe depicting the two carrier strikes flown on 2 October, 1943 against-German-held Norway. The American carrier aircraft attacked shipping in & around Bodø and Sandnessjöen. The attacks were extremely successful, in part because they were able to strike without being detected, and careful planning was executed precisely to deceive the Germans into suspecting the attacks were launched from the Soviet Union. A further stroke of good fortune was achieved when a snowstorm helped to cover the USS Ranger's withdrawal & shield them from any reprisal attacks by the Luftwaffe.
This package has been revamped by Andrew "Rami" Talbot with Stuart277's blessing to include new skins by UncleTgt for the Donationware F4F Wildcat, the FDGv2 freeware SBD Dauntless, & Wolfi's new TBF / TBM Avenger set. Custom weather for each mission has also been included. An auto-installer has been created by "Rami" to allow for easier installation. Additionally, the carrier defense mission has been "flipped," allowing for the user to fly a torpedo attack mission from a German perspective, giving these missions at least one new look.
In the "permissions & readmes" folder, Stuart277's original mission documents have been preserved; he worked to provide excellent and precise details on the background, composition, and timeline of the raids, as well as the results. I would highly encourage you to take the time to read it!
In this package, you'll find all of the aircraft, weapons, scenery objects, airfields, new GSL scenery (Bodø and Sandnessjöen) by me, and other materials from Stuart277's original pack required to fly these missions. Those whose work is included in this package include Achim27619, Ajax, Stuart277, Shessi, Payakan, Wolfi, Xavierb, MaskRider, Psullykeys, the SOH Donationware team, the FDGv2 team, Serge Tremblay, Morton, Lawdog2360, Dbolt, Blackbird686, Franz von Baron, Paul Rebuffat, Baldy, Metal Dreams, Kelticheart, Nibbio, Captain Kurt, Davmag, Stiz, Pen32Win, Gary20, ChrisN, the Groundcrew team, Krystof Malinowski, The Virtual Navy, Usio, Canion, UncleTgt, and The B24 Guy.
