World in Flames II [1.05.1 compatible]

[Adonnus]

Version for DH 1.03 beta coming soon

Installation instructions

- Prepare working DH 1.03 beta version

These two statements are rather contradictory. Do I require 1.03 beta version or not to play this mod?

 

[^_AC_^]

Yes, you need 1.03 beta to play this mod.
No, 1.03 beta has not been released yet.
No, this is not a joke, but Fernando Torres is very busy since the beginning of this week and therefore not able to dedicate time to this mod, that's why he prepared it and posted it before the release of the 1.03 beta, as he won't be able to follow it when the time comes.

 

[Epaminondas]

Now that's really forward planning!

 

[Pasha]

Fernando will probably be early for his own funeral...that's how quick he is!

 

[seattle]

It looks like a cool mod. But...why don't you use your spare time for DH instead, on stuff that actually will be included?

What Fernando does in his spare time is none of your business, is it?
Further more, the release of the beta hinges on unfinished translation work. Nothing that Fernando is involved in. Be grateful that he does indeed use his spare time to work on a mod that benefits all of us!

Fernando, maybe you could add too this cool event (free for use) made by Lightning (friend of who you know, lol) for the late Road to Victory mod; it gives a few bonuses or penalties to GER mountain troops, depending if Narvik is captured at historical date or later...
Note: I suggest replacing the start/deathdates of the event by a deadline in days after the start of Operation Weserübung (e.g.: Narvik captured in 30 days after start of Weserünbung = great victory, in 45 days = victory and in 60 days = defeat)...

Thanks I'll look at it

 

[Fernando Torres]

Anything else worth adding from RtV? (btw if you want to post and speak more "freely" in French, feel free to post at Strategium DH/WIF subforum, i'm pretty active there too)

Since this is a mod which includes many flavour events, have you thought about adding submarine surprise attacks on ships docked at ports? Both the Germans and the Japanese did this (IIRC one of the German u-boats managed to sink a BB that way), but it's not possible in-game.

I can add smth like that (minisub attack command does work iirc). Even Italy and UK used them iirc.
There is already a specific decision for German attack on Scapa Flow. Could you please elaborate what you had in mind?

Things like the attack on Sydney Harbour or the attacks during the battle of Madagascar. They would work like PH event, i.e. you could get a failure, a success, a major success etc.

minisub attack command does work iirc

Minisub attack command? What's that?

 

[Fernando Torres]

event_commands.txt

# SPECIAL UNIT BONUSES
#
# Minisubs (BBs and CVs attack ships in harbors with this bonus added to their sea attack value)
type = minisub_bonus value = [X] }# NOT INCREMENTAL. This is the new value.

do you take event suggestion into consideration? just in case i'll attach a list (no idea what is in already).

Yes I definitely do take suggestions - Thanks!

 

[jpbfr]

Fernando , i played the first WIF and you included special heavy tank units(not brigades) for some countries which were activated via events , like the Tiger , IS-2 and Sherman Firefly. I think it's a good way to represent the differences in tank designs of majors. Any plans to include this in WIF2 ??

not yet but it could be easily simulated with a new H ARM div type enabled only for these few countries.
Could you please suggest me what stat each model should have?

 

[jpbfr]

Well I'm definetely not an expert on tanks , but maybe the Tiger could me more expensive than the others but with more Hard Attack , the Sherman could be somewhat cheaper but less powerful, while the IS-2 could also be a powerhouse like the Tiger, but also costly and its debut would be late in the war , like IRL.
I'm suggesting this for flavour , but my knowledge about tanks is too small, so my stats would be kinda inaccurate. Besides, in DH Full the H Arm brigade are quite useless IMHO , so this couls be a nice addition.

 

[it068]

although World in Flames 2 has all of these interesting flavour events. Will the 1.03 patch add any new events to DH:Vanilla that are different top the ones in the WIF 2 mod?

evts suggestions update

DH 1.03 has many new events but that has nothing to do with WIF2.

Thanks bestmajor (btw, concrete event commands would help as I fail to see how some of your suggestions should be modeled)
