Sunderland at War, Part I: the Bay of Biscay

Capt. Winters said:
Hi Guys,

Hi LZ, I just checked my ETO 1.4 install and I do not have the B_sandbags-f facility file.

I checked the following installs as well and none had this file.

Stock CFS3.
ETO 1.20 (base install)
MAW.
PTO.
CFS3 BoB.
DPC CFS3 Korea.
OFF.


Its possible that the file came with a mission set somewhere along the line and some people must have had the files in the thier CFS3 install when they installed ETO and thats how ETO has picked up the file.

I would attach the file here for those who already have your mission set and possibly re-upload the set with the missing files and a revised link to Nigels plane for people to who download in the future.

great effort on your part.

regards Rob.

I am actually preparing the final revision of this pack.

What's new:
- missing facility issue corrected.

- Ju88A-17 (X1)

- Ju88P-4 (X1 What If)

- P38-J (X1)

- Liberator GRV (X1)

- He177 (X6: 2 Training, anti ship in the Atlantic, Anzio, Normandy, Ferry Flight). Regarding the HS123, I've used the same procedure as for the Do217 missions released in the Anzio pack.
 
Does anybody have an historical information regarding a possible torpedo attack performed by Beaufighters around Brest or in the Bay if Biscay area? I would like to include one but I don't have information.

I have already included a Beaufighter rocket attack in the initial release.
 
What period (Era) are we talking about Loic? Nothing comes to mind. Once rockets were in widespread use, CC and most of the RAF in the ETO abandoned torpedo attacks as not being a cost efficient way of sinking ships. Too costly in aircraft losses against uncertain returns. I will look though for you.

Any era! I found Beaufort torpedos attacks but not Beaufighters. Well if I can't build this one, it doesn't really matter.
 
As the war progressed, the threat of night-time German bombing receded. Therefore, the need for a night-time fighter also receded. The Beaufighter was then used primarily in an anti-shipping role. The Beaufighter was used against U-boats in the North Sea and in the Bay of Biscay. As an extension of this role, some Beaufighters were fitted with torpedo-carrying gear from April 1943 on and rocket launchers.
 
I have actually 12 new missions completed (He177, P-38, Typhoon, P-47, Ju88, Mosquito...) + 1 corrected. Another mission is under building process.

If the Ju52 Minsweeper is released soon, I'll include a mission for it (1./Minenschuchgruppe.1). Mission is to sweep mines ahead of Pietro Orseolo, a blockade runner that is arriving to Lorient after a successfull trip.
Now, if anybody has a good idea to make it challenging and different from usual missions, I'm interested.

One of the missions is for 20th FG / 79th FS, King Cliffe, july 9th 1944.

Available soon, there are still two missions to build.

This will be a 4 missions pack: 3 historical and 1 random patrol in the Bay of Biscay. Maybe I'll build one from Luftwaffe side (Ju88C-6).

It is dedicated to those who like flak and cold water :bump:
