WOE:BC Update 11

With the default loadouts ready for the USAF fighters its perhaps time to list the aircraft, their missions and available weapons in the campaign and the different loadouts. Remember the main purpose of the loadouts is to allow the player to take off immediately without spending much time on loading all the fighers in his flight (although it sometimes better to customize the loadout) and to equip the AI planes with a standard loadout they can handle.

Since the USAF will field 9 different aircraft in this campaign I will split this report in three parts. Here are the first fighters.


F-15C Eagle

Missions: CAP, Sweep, Escort, Intercept

Remark

The F-4G is used exclusively in the SEAD role. You might have noticed the recon loadout, which I also implemented for the F-16 and F-15. This has to do with how the game engine generate missions in a campaign. If the engine is not able to generate a mission based on your selected missiontypes, it will automatically create a recon mission. To prevent that aircraft will fly without weapons on recon missions, I decided to add this loadout type myself. Usually the recon loadout will match one of the regular mission type loadouts so that during the campaign, when recon flights are generated by the campaign, you won't be able to tell the difference from the regular missions.

Tomorrow I will post part 2 of the USAF fighters.

Happy Flying

Welcome and Introduction

Hi,

My name is KingAlbert and no I am not related to the Belgian Royal Family.

I live in Belgium and am interested in flight simulations. Since about a year I have been flying frequently in sims like Falcon 4: Allied Force, Il-2 and occassionaly in Lock-On. But as I searched the forums for information I discovered that some people wrote AAR's (=After Action Reports), in which they described how their missions went.

"I can do that too", I thought and I started to write my first AAR: Bridge Attack. A week later I wrote a second AAR: A Silk Ride.

From that moment on, I got the taste for writing stories. Since then I still fly missions, but my focus is on taking screenshots and writing the stories afterwards. I use the term stories because I try to avoid the dry-style first person AAR. In my stories I sometimes bend the actual events to allow for more dramatic events.

As I have posted on mainly two forums, SimHQ and FrugalsWorld, I encountered a problem. How on earth could I keep track of all my stories and offer readers a central location to find all stories, hence this blog.

In the sidebar, you will find an overview of each story that I wrote, beginning with first series: Charging Dragon. A second template contains my short stories (stories that only take one chapter). With exception of the short stories template, all other templates are sorted in descending order of publication.

The central posts will be used to inform people on developing stories and ideas I have.

Whether you arrived through SimHQ, FrugalsWorld or other sites,
Happy Reading

KingAlbert
