Switching axis faction to an allied faction when mission has already been created?


Recommended Posts

Can I do this? I already made a mission that I am still working on and the allied side has no AA other than the AA bofors (Please give us some allied flak!) so I know I can switch Bulgaria over to another side and be able to use German units. However is this possible with a mission already made, to switch one team over to the other side?

 

 

 

Is there anything in the way of allied AA for any other country?

 

 

 

This is my one major complaint with the asset pack btw and I don't like to grumble, but why is it so damned lop sided!

 

 

 

Anyway thanks a million guys, and asset pack aside Normandy/WW2 just gets better and better! More please!

I have done this by adding "Russia" to the allied side and using their (post war) AA gun mounted on the URAL truck. The Allied 40mm Bofors is currently useless . . hopefully ED are going to fix this.

 

 

You can add a nation to the mission after you've started making it using a community mod here:

I use this mod.

I would be nice if ED incorporated this tech into the ME as standard.

I've not tried the community mod for changing sides. Sounds good though. I used to do it manually by opening up the mission in a text editor. lol. But, yes, I really wish the ability to change sides was built into the mission editor. That would really help a lot!

 

 

 

 

Regarding AA. I'd suggest using the "Zu-23 Emplacement" instead of the "Zu-23 Ural". The reason is that the emplacement version is the smallest of them, and is less obvious/intrusive. It thus saves you having a modern-looking truck on your WW2 map.

 

An alternative trick that I have used in the past is to put "Third Reich" on the Axis side and "Germany" on the Allied side. Then you can use all the German Flak units on BOTH sides. For example, the Flak 38 Vierling and Flak 18 are both good units to use. (I still prefer to use the Zu-23 Emplacement though.)

God bless mods and modders it works a charm!

 

 

Not to push my luck but anyone know of a mod that seperates WW2 assets from all the modern stuff now? :)

I don't find the Bofors to be useless at all. I find the opposite is true. Since they have no tracers (at the moment), Germ a/c don't try to evade them nearly as much, plus they have a huge range advantage over the Flak-30's. The only disadvantage is that they have a lower ROF, but that is compensated for being a 40mm(!!) gun vs a 20mm. One hit and a wing is gone. I've seen the FW-190 take multiple 20mm hits and keep on truckin'.

 

But if you really want to put the FlaK-30 or FlaK-38 Quad-20mm into a mission on the allied side, simply add the Bulgarians to the allies.

 

If you've already built the mission and need to change the factions, there's a mod for that :D

It works; I've used it for just this situation.

Hmm.. I can't get the Bofors 40mm to fire at all. Couple of questions:

1. Are you using them as statics, or in a unit group?, and

2. How many guns are you using in a battery/ to protect say, an airfield?

Normal AAA units ofc. Static units are just window dressing. I had 4 in a battery.
