"Yeah, and though I work in the valley of Death, I will fear no Evil. For where there is one, there is always three. I preparest my aircraft to receive the Iron that will be delivered in the presence of my enemies. Thy ALCM and JDAM they comfort me. Power was given unto the aircrew to make peace upon the world by way of the sword. And when the call went out, Behold the "Sword of Stealth". And his name was Death. And Hell followed him. For the day of wrath has come and no mercy shall be given."

Damn HawkEye - I can't keep up! Like a kid in a candy store 😀

Screw Easter - it's more like an extended Christmas, here.

Thanks for all these great gifts - really appreciate all the effort you, Markindel, Crazy Eddie etc, put into bringing these to the community.

Truly feels like a second golden age of WWII mods, since the days of version 1.56

As much as I am looking forward to 2.7 & especially the immersion of the new clouds - just hoping it doesn't break too many of the the Community Mods, that also bring so much immersion.

Thanks very much again 👍

I just checked.

Remove both the Cruiser Algerie

and the Destroyer Le Malin.

 

They are the issue. Must be a weapon code problem.

 

These others work fine.

 

I will get to fix these broken ones asap.

 

 

The Japs are coming!

 

Must get the fleet ready!

 

Thanks for the heads up!

 

Cheers!

Hi,

Firstly thanks for your work on these mods. I need some help please. I downloaded and installed the Algerie, Dunkerque, Richelieu, and Le Malin (in latest DCS beta) and put them all in their own subfolder in \Saved Games\DCS\Mods\tech but only the Algerie appears as a placeable unit in the ME. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Aerial torpedos dropped from a JU88 run right under or through the Algerie. Is that expected?

AA fire works really well so I enjoyed watching the JU88s get shot down. 🙂

Thanks!

They seem to work on my end.

 

The collisions may have gotten borked in a patch.

Will look ASAP.

Great, thank you very much. Please let me know if I can help with any testing on the torpedo issue.

It's odd that I can't select the units to place them in the ME. They just don't appear in any country list - and certainly not France. While the Algerie appears in many country lists. I've put each unit in its own subfolder under \mods\tech - that's correct, right?

I also have the DKM naval squadron and Bismarck mods installed - they do appear as expected. I'll try removing those to see if there is a conflict.

@Hawkeye60So I did some more testing and hands up, I made a mistake in installing the mods - there's no problem with the mods working. I had accidentally copied the whole structure of the mod files under tech. Many apologies! So I can now place all the units and they look great.

The aerial torpedoes issue is real though - I re-tested the Algerie and also tested the Le Malin and Richelieu - and the torps pass under or through.

However the torpedoes did impact the Dunkerque - 100% hits every time. So it's just the other ships where they fail.

So at least I can make a mission where the bombers target the Dunkerque, and have other ships as escort but not targets for torpedoes.

And the only other thing I noticed is that cannon/mg fire from FW190s seems to pass through the Algerie and Dunkerque (didn't get a chance to test that on other ships) and impact the water without causing any damage (as seen in the map unit view). Not sure if this is a DCS limitation and I suppose damage would be relatively minor, but the AI will do strafing runs after dropping bombs. They miss by a mile with the bombs but the strafing runs are on target.
