mission editor SU-33 as blue team?

in mission editor, i would like to use the Russian fighters but in the american team (blue) is there any way to do this please?

thanks

The Su-27 and the MiG-29s come in Ukrainian flavors, but AFAIK, the Su-33, Kuznetsov, and the Il-78M are only Russian.

Which is kind of baffling—it would make more sense to me to have all of the flyables and all of the support aircraft for those flyables available on both sides. If we're going to accept a Russian A-10, I don't see why we can't have a Ukrainian naval Flanker and Kuznetsov.

You just need to add Russia to the blue coalition when you start the mission build in the ME.

There is a way to move aircraft types (or other coalition assets) around after that point but it involves some dabbling in the .lua and though it's not entirely complicated I don't know the process as well as others. Grimes has explained it a few different times but you need to search for "changing coalitions in ME" to find them.

You could create a new mission, set the sides up so Russia and the US are both on blue team. Then you could have Su-33s flying alongside F-15Cs and such. :thumbup:

Go to the Mission Editor, click the button for "New". It then lets you set up the sides ("Coalitions" I think?). I typically do this to put Germany on the Red side when I want to battle the AI FW-190, since Germany is by default on blue and seems to be the only country right now with the FW-190. Anyway, there you go. Hopefully that helps.

Very easy, don't need to change coaliton just do this:

find file

For using all the same units on both Red and Blue, place Russia with USA on one side, USAF Aggressors on the other. This gave me all the planes and all the units available on each side. Of course, this has to be done prior to the start of the mission editing. Please follow above for reference.

Works for creating but have to go back to old file to play online because of integrity check.

Su-33 is available for Russia, USAF Aggressors, Greece, and Algeria. Not really sure why it is on Greece and Algeria, but it and several FC3 aircraft are also available to both of them.

Can this be done on a per mission basis by going into the .miz and finding the right spot and editing? I don’t want to change things globally just on an existing mission.

Hello folks,

wondering if you can do the same with Admiral Kuznetsov into blue team:pilotfly:, but can't find the db for the navy. I've checked the db_units_ships.lua but i couldn't find the navy_file("navy/red/kuznetsov.lua"), but it wasn't a much of help :helpsmilie:

Best Regards

This is an old thread, ED added the country "USAF Aggressors" which has access to all units in the game. Just add this to blue to let blue use any unit.
