UncleTgt upgraded AA land and sea effect and dp files

[UncleTgt]

A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category CFS 2 Other Add-Ons

Description: 87 Days Land-based Flak Dp mods


This modifies the land-based flak DPs used in "87 Days" revision released by Captain Kurt in 2022. It adjusts the flak performance along Blue Devil's principles. This gives the heavy AA more range, & modifies the Light flak more in line with a real-world sustained ROF.


I added dummy type 4 guns to a few units that didn't have this dummy "type 4" gun position to improve AI flak engagement, as discovered by Pen32win back in 2008 (see txt file for his original post at SOH). I decided to only do this for dedicated AA weapons, rather than every vehicle toting a pintle-mounted LMG or 50cal HMG, figuring these other units would not have received sufficient training to fire whilst tracking the target, whereas dedicated flak crews would have.


To install, unzip the download to a temporary location & move/ copy files to the matching ship names inside your chosen CFS 2 install.

A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category CFS 2 Ships Add-Ons

Description: 87 Days Ship Dp mods


This modifies all the ship DPs used in "87 Days" revision released by Captain Kurt in 2022. It adjusts the flak performance along Blue Devil's principles. This gives the heavy AA more range, & modifies the Light flak more in line with a real-world sustained ROF.


I also added the priority & hardness categories to each, as I noticed these were missing. These have values guided by the much earlier work of Pen32win & the AF Team. Lastly, I added dummy type 4 guns to a few units that didn't have this dummy "type 4" gun position to improve AI flak engagement, as discovered by Pen32win back in 2008 (see txt file for his original post at SOH).


The original DPs are provided simply as a back up facility.

Hi Uncle Tgt
This is very interesting.

Love the Flak Table.

My dp's are all over the place.

The hardness and priority table from pen32win are also very interesting.

Thanks for these.

Cheers,

Stuart
