Spanish Civil War Missions

The first of the SCW missions is up here on SOH. A second mission will follow tomorrow. These feature the newly added Spanish Theatre aircraft and vehicles in the 1.02 ETO update.

Thanks Middle and Douglas for getting these loaded for me.

The second SCW mission is now up. You will have to take off under attack and may be strafed by low flying Condor Legion Bombers. I have ben hit several times on my takeoff roll. You then have to fight your way past a couple of German HS-123s to get to the JU-52 Bombers over the town.



Thanks Middle,

Watch your Six

You really need to "watch your six" after takeoff. I had target fixation on one of the HS-123s and his wingman got in behind me. They are set at "ACE" so be careful.:d

O-1...........these are outstanding!! Great fun to fly....no issues on installation....and again.........GREAT showcase for ETO's chops. THANK YOU!
 
O-1.........trying to bomb those flak positions takes a better pilot than I am.....chicken that I am....I ditch the bombs....kill the enemy biplanes hassling our boys....then return to gun the flak objective positions.....sounds nuts but coming straight at 'em I'm toast...turning around them faster than they can turn I can keep tagging 'em with bursts until they're dead......and return home with a "mission accomplished" always satisfying however inconsequential in the great scheme of things. However...I can't dent the Spanish AA trucks...what does make a staic object killable...is it a facility file??....whatever it takes to make this static object killable as well would be fun. Still trying to learn here....nice work.........totally absorbing! Thanks!

Gaw, Greg builds a tough truck no doubt, but I checked the damage model and it is the same (1500 pts) as the other trucks in CFS 3. I can kill them with either guns or bombs but the guns on the Bi-Planes are smaller calibre and take a lot more rounds than 50 cal or cannon.

Glad you enjoyed the mission and all of the great new stuff Greg gave us for ETO,

also...forgive me...no tracer for the Spanish defenders? Nice work...a marvellous change of pace!!!

Gaw, you are just causing all kind of trouble today.:d

The correct round (weapon) for the Russian Bi-Plane gun is missing from the AvHistory pack that is currently loaded in ETO. Knowing that we included the "fix" from Reg's Hangar and it is included with the mission pack. Simply copy the round to your weapons folder and then run your BDP Zapper.

AHA..........thank you! Sometimes in spasmodic fits of caution I decline the overwrite prompt.....Cheers!
