Bf-109T10 Carrier Based Fighter
For SF/WoV/WoE WW2: SWOTL Installs
A definate "What If..." style of aircraft, based off of Wolf257's Bf-109G10.
I've taken more than a few liberties, most of which is using the later model G10 for the base aircraft. We make the assumption that the KM, having fielded the original 109T-2/3 (originally modified/rebuilt from Emils), found them a little lacking, and had the Messerschmitt factory create a newer version, based off the Gustav 10. Hence the reason for calling it the "Bf-109T10". Also, the fact I don't have the skin template for the Russo's E, and I do for the G...it was an easy choice. This is reflected in the 'StartYear=' of 1944
The aircraft has been modified for carrier usage via data ini edits; the arrester hook exists 'virtually' via said edits. The skin and decaling are purely from my imagination (and laziness). The basic splinter camo pattern, I believe, makes perfect sense when seen against the gray sea background of the North Atlantic. Also, I got the reuse the decals I'd made perviously for other skin upgrades I've done for the WW2 Luftwaffe.
Please read the enclose readme for FULL install instructions, and some historical notes on the real aircraft. (plus an explination as to why there are 2 skin bmps...)
With thanks to Wolf257 for giving us these wonder WW2 birds; and the rest of the modders who allow us to relive (and remake) history
Enjoy!

This pak contains almost everything you'll need to create this new version, minus a few critical files that you'll need to copy from the original Ju-87. In other words:

Curtiss-Wright Tomahawk, #54 Squadron, RAF, Battle of Britan, circa 1940
For SF, WoV & WoE ETO installs
What we have here is a skin representing RAF 54 Squadron, had it been given Tomahawks, instead of their real aircraft. This is a purely speculative skin, as the RAF didn't use any of their Tomahawks in the ETO in combat. (they went mostly to North Africa, me thinks), although several were retained for training purposes (mostly to train bomber gunners on shooting at enemy fighters).
This is a semi-complete aircraft, ready to unzip into your ETO/BoB or SWOTL install. All edits and modifications are already done (in most particular, the Ring-and-Bead gunsight, and associated cockpit mods). There are several data ini edits, mostly to operational years and loadouts, plus the addition of correctly placed running, formation, and landing lights.
** REMINDER: the 'Tomahawk.LOD' is NOT included, as per Wolf's wishes. You can get it in his WW2 Planes Pak available at CombatAce. Do so now, if you haven't already...you won't be sorry!!! **
Also included is a new 50 gallon drop tank, based on the IJAAF one from the Dev A-Teams WW2 Japanese aircraft. Full instructions on it's installation are also included.
Further, detailed instructions are in the enclosed readme. The only thing that's not, are the "Fictional Historical Notes". I just couldn't get my brain to work on those. Sorry folks...
So, please read the readme ... it'll make you life just a little bit easier
Happy Landings!

Focke Wulf Fw-190AT, Carrier-Based "What If..." for SF, WoV & WoE WW2 Installs:
This is a semi-complete aircraft mod based on Wolf257's FW-190A, converting it into a 'What If" version hypothetically used by the Kriegs Marine on it's aircraft carriers.
I say 'semi-complete', because as per Wolf's wishes, the aircraft lod is NOT included. You'll have to copy it over from one of the other FWs.
This skin has new, redrawn panel and rivet lines -- to which I claim NO historical accuracy! I don't know enough about the Luftwaffe (or especially in the un-real Kreigs Marine version) markings and such; so accept them for what they are, just eye candy.
You also get new Luftwaffe-style outlined aircraft number decals (by me!), and a nice KM nose badge decal as well.
The camo pattern is pretty much standard RLM colors, splinter type. The other markings are all from my rather vivid imagination; as these aircraft never existed (and could probably NEVER be made into a fully navalized version), I ask that you all accept this is the spirt it engenders ... pure fun and a little exploration in the "What If..." realms of the Second World War.
PLEASE read the read me for further, detailed instructions. There's also a "Fictional Historical Notes" section that might be fun to read!
Good Hunting!

Douglas DB-7A AdA
Decals and Decal Update
Whilst doing some research for another project, I stumbled across a long out of print copy of "Profile # 202: Douglas A-20 (7A-Boston III)" on pdf, and it had some really nice profiles and photos of French DB-7s from the Battle of France time period. Including placement of individual aircraft numbers.
I know the font isn't exactly the right one, but it's damn close! To make thinks easier, I've left all the rudder tags in, as I'm too lazy to remove them, and the file size (zipped) is still below 500k.
Easy to follow instructions in the Enclosed "youread"
Sorry about that folks, but this is an easy fix!
Enjoy!

Focke Wulf Fw-190F Package for SF, WoV & WoE WW2 ETO/MTO/SWOTL Installs:
This package includes skin and ini mods of the original 190 into the =definitave= 190F ground attack/close support version.
This is a semi-complete package conatining all necessary parts to create the new aircraft =EXCEPT= the FW190.LOD. It's Wolf's wish that the lod not be distributed in new packages, but it's a simple matter to just copy it over from another Wurger.
All other parts; cockpit, all the inis, updated gunsight tga are included. I call it semi-complete package for the above reason, but NEW data, loadout, cockpit and main inis are included, due to several modifications I've effected. There are even new hangar and loading screens, specifically designed for this ground-attack version.
There are 2 skins in this package (hence the ETO/MTO tag at the top!):
9/SG4 based in France & Germany in the post D-Day time frame (attached to KG51);
I-SG4 based on Sardinia for use in the MTO/Italian theatre.
It is suggested that you do NOT mix these skins in the same theatre of operations, but rather 'split' the install between your ETO and MTO game setups.
---- Please note you MUST have the latest Weapons Pack for the WW2 Axis weapons ----
PLEASE read the enclosed readme for detailed install instructions, and other important notes. I wrote it...you better read it!!
Most importantly, information about the modified loadouts (see picture above for some idea of what you can get!)
Happy Hunting!

Messerschmitt Bf-109G6 skin & ini tweeks for SF, WoV & WoE WW2 Installs:
-Modification of one of Wolf257's Messerschmitts....
This is a semi-complete package, creating another version of the famed Messerschmitt Bf-109. It contains just about everything needed.
I say semi-complete, because the aircraft LOD file is NOT included, as per his wishes, but everthing else is. You will also be adding 2 stand-in under-wing gun gondolas for the MK108 30mm and MK151 20mm cannons. I say stand-in, as the pod used is NOT the correct shape. So, you WILL be using the Weapons Editor to add the new gun pods. They use existing weapons, so there's no problems there. These are just here until a 3d modeler steps up and gives us the correct shapes for the 2 different pods.
The skin included represents JG53 in late 44/early 45, and has been enhanced with new panel, rivet lines, and new stenciling for the warning and info tags. My damged tgs and NEW 109G6 hangar and loadoing screens -ONLY available in this mod- are also included.
PLEASE read the enclosed reamde file for full detailed install instructions, as well as other notes and commentaries.
Good Hunting!

Focke Wulf Fw-190A8 Package for SF, WoV & WoE WW2 ETO/SWOTL Installs:
This is a re-skin and ini mods of the original 190 into a FW-190A8/R8 'Sturmbok' bomber killer.
This is a semi-complete package conatining all necessary parts to create the new aircrafte =EXCEPT= the FW190.LOD. It's Wolf's wishes the lod not be distributed in new packages, but it's a simple matter to just copy it over from another Wurger.
All other parts; cockpit, all the inis, updated gunsight tga are included. I've also added my 2 newest hangar and loading screens (also available in the FW-190A5 update pak)
This skin represents Fw-190A8R8 from 11/JG3 in the late 44/45 time frame in Western Europe/Germany.
I have tried to make it as accurate as possible, even to getting the proper RLM colors added to my swatch list. As best I could, I even added the little warning placards around the fuselage, wings and tail. Along with the 'eagle head' shape over the fuselage, now outlined in red for JG3.
PLEASE read the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions and other stuff.
Happy Landings!
