I am on the downhill portion of my mission building for this campaign re-do. I have completed 37 out of the 52 possible missions. The player will fly 19. I am incorporating Wolfi's new Avenger and a lot of new ships from Stuart377 and Maxstuka. The player will fly a random choice of fighters (F4F-3, F6F-3 and later, F6F-5), divebombers (SBD-3 and SBD-5) or Avengers. In the divebomber and Avenger choices, the player may fly as flight leader or as a wingman - also a random selection.
This is a semi-historical campaign. The first mission set is a "what if" Wake Island relief with Brewster Buffalos. After that, the task force ship names and types are historical but the actual ship formations in the TF, many of the strike make-ups and the exact launch positions are best guess.
The campaign will contain alternate .dps for some of the ships (taken from Pen32Win's alternate ship dps download). I also include an alternate .cfg for the VN Saratoga, which will enable the player to start further back on the flight deck for takeoff. Where takeoff is difficult, I will add a 15 knot headwind to the mission - zero to five hundred feet - which will also be there over target and on landing.
I am currently working on the strikes on Engebi. Then I move into the Indian Ocean, where the Sara cooperated with a British TF in strikes on Sumatra and Java.
Screenshots will follow soon as will progress updates...
