IL2: Forgotten Battles / Pacific Fighters by Ubisoft

Carols Daddy was a P51 of the 1st Air Commando Group/10th US Army Air Force stationed in Burma in 1944. s/n ( 36113 ) also it had an individual number 18 on it as well. This p51 was actually a "A" version but seeing theres no P51a ive put it on the p51b. :)

THE BATTLE OF MALTA 1940-1942 (GB) 1.5
 
for Il2/AEP/Pf 4.03m+
 
A 51 mission Scripted fighter Campaign for an RAF pilot.
 
This campaign is based on a a lot of historical research, no real pilot would have had the opportunity to experience
all that is contained although I have constructed what I hope is a believable 'fiction'.
 
Most missions represent Radar guided interceptions above the Island of Malta, against the numerically vastly superior
Regia Aeronautica and Luftwaffe.
 
Convoys are central to this whole campaign so ships of all types and their attack and defence feature very heavily
throughout (several missions are carrier based).
 
Player fly's the Gladiator, Hurricanes, Spitfire and Beaufighter
(and very briefly a Martlet (lend lease F4F-4) and A20.)
 
This campaign was constructed using the excellent il2 MATmanager and it is recommended that people install this excellant free utility in order to see accurate plane markings.
(the campaign should still work without it but will not look as good as intended.)
 
Thanks to all the skinners that created the skins contained within, I have tried my best to agnowledge their excellent
work.
 
Unzip to your desktop and look at the enclosed Read Me(GB)
 
 
1.5- As a result of The_Battle_of_Malta (IT) the convoy actions of this campaign have been recreated in far greater
detail. As a result this version has 3 extra missions (all (historical) long range defences of convoys by Malta based
fighters) and 5 of the pre 1.5 missions have been extensively revised (specificaly the convoy 'Pedestal' missions).
(8 more 'historical'and 'semi historical' missions in total).
 
1.6- Updates the 41st mission in the campaign
(thanks to Beaufort for research and advice.)
Four missions that were air-starts have been changed so that all missions now begin on runways.
Tropical A20 skin included plus MBR-2-AM-34 skin replaced with a new skin by Skioppo.
 
(1.6 is a very minor change. With updates if you already have a campaign in progress, overwrite the existing Battle_of_Malta_1940-42 folder in your campaign GB folder and you can continue the campaign but will have the updated version.)
 
THE BATTLE OF MALTA (IT) is now available. It took far longer to produce than this one and required more research, almost all missions are based on real mission reports and had to be created from scratch, the atmosphere and focus is very differant and so are the mission types and problems faced, try it and see.

Me 262 of 11./JG7 based at Prague-Ruzyn in 1945. This particular aircraft was the personal mount of Ubfw. Heinz Arnold.
 
Place the file in your IL-2/paintschemes/skins/Me 262A-1a folder and blow stuff up..
 
Skin by Baron von Blutwurst with the aid of a heavily modified template by Aero_Shodanjo...thanks m8

Full History of each plane included in the read me files in the download.
 
 
Spitfire TD248
 
This skin is for the above mentioned aircraft and though we don't have a MKXVI Spitfire in the game the real plane closely resembles the MKIX that we do have access to so this is what I chose to use.
I finished this a while ago and something about it was really annoying to me - the real plane has a bubble canopy (which we don't have access to in the game) so after a week or so I decided to see if I could make the skin "look" like it has a bubble canopy - it turned out reasonably well so I'm now happy to share it.
 
This skin has been built to be used for the Mk.IX varients - it should fit them all except for the clipped wings as the lower wing roundels will get cut in half if you use it on them.
Sub note: this skin may also fit the MKVb varients (not Vc) with little difference so you may as well try it in those folders as well.
 
This skin was built using Fly By Shooters awesome MKVb template which I have adapted to fit the MKIX and added a few bits and bobs of my own.
 
 
Spitfire RN201
 
This skin is for the above mentioned aircraft and though we don't have a MKXIVe Spitfire in the game the real plane closely resembles the MKVIII (CW version) that we do have access to so this is what I chose to use. The only real difference in how it looks physically is that the real plane has a 5 bladed prop whereas we only have the use of 4 and also the real plane (having a Griffon engine) has distinctive raised elongated bulges just above the overhead valves which I have tried to fake onto the actual skin.
 
Stick this in your "SpitfireMkVIIICLP" skin folder and you are ready to go - note that it will more than likely fit the standard MKVIII as well so you may as well put it in that folder too. No Markings version included.
 
Template created by "Fly By Shooter" with elements from "Jesters Ink" and Myself.
 
 
 
Note to any skinners that have ever skinned a MK.IX - think for a second how much frustration I went through to get that red line along the fuselage of the TD248 skin lol.

VF-14, US Navy No: 21 (BuNo.70821) Pilot - Robert W.Kieffer. 1944. USS Wasp CV-18. On 14 October 1944 he shot down 1 A6M and 1 Ki-49 overall he had four kills. Again ive used my own template ,Weathered & Bright converted.

These are American pilot speech files taken from the sim "Jane's WWII Fighters" by Electronic Arts (1998) and then reformatted and renamed to be audible in "IL-2 Forgotten Battles," "Ace Expansion Pack" or
"Pacific Fighters" by 1C:Maddox Games.
 
Most of the commands/phrases used in FB and PF have equivalent samples in Jane's WWII Fighters. With some creative adaptaptations I was able
to replace nearly all of the speech files used by the US 'flight leader' character and some of the files used by the bomber pilots.
 
Being that Jane's WWII Fighters was an European Theater of Operations themed simulation (it was set in the Ardennes 1944/45), these speech files may be thoroughly inaccurate for other theaters, namely the Pacific. I tried to avoid speech files that directly reference the Luftwaffe as the enemy.

A6M5C Saburo Sakai. Yokosuka Kokutai Japan 1945.
 
A6M2 Zero 21 Saburo Sakai Tainan NAG Rabaul 1942
 
His score of 64 planes downed is based on his own reports, and in some of his accounts it was one or two lower. Two Japanese pilots had higher scores, also based on their own counts. (Lieut. Tetsu Iwamoto shot down more than 100 Allied planes.) The Japanese Navy policy was not to credit personal victories officially, but to subordinate the individual to the group.
On Dec. 8, 1941, the day after the attack on Pearl Harbor, he flew with his group to attack an American air base in the Philippines. He shot down an American P-40, in what was said to be the Japan's first aerial kill there. On Jan. 25, he downed an American B-17, the first Allied bomber to fall in the Pacific.
 
Sakai remains the top surviving ace of the Pacific Airwar.

Hi, old chaps!!
 
My new Campaign is available now:
 
"You are Buck Danny, back from Korea. You are invited to be a part of the Fuerza Aerea del Managua restructuration. Managua is a small but rich country of Central America, and also a young and strong ally of the USA.
 
Your action will be double. First, you will an observer sent by the American government to evaluate the material and training needs of the Managuaian Air Force. Then, you will become a flight instructor. You have returned to civilian life before being incorporated to the Managuaian Force with your former rank. Indeed, during this 1952 summer, USA have been at war in Korea for the last 2 years, and American opinion has become fed up with those murderer combats. For this purpose, your intervention must be the more discrete as possible. Of course, you won't be alone in Central America, and your faithful friends Captain Jerry "Tumb" Tumbler and he mighty Texan red haired Second Lieutenant Sonny Tuckson will come along. Some other pilots and technicians will of course be with you.
 
Your evaluation mission seems to go easy till the sworn enemy of Managua, Costa Verde, makes his move.
 
Only one philosophy must guide you : pilots are rare, and you must not hesitate to send them back to home base one you estimate the mission accomplished.
 
Enjoy your flight!"
 
Coming with new skins, new medals, read me (french and english), 32 missions (in two versions, french and english).

This is a 22 sortie linear campaign for the Hawker Tempest. It runs from June 1944 until May 1945. Think you can survive your last tour of ops on this beast? Think flak trap and think again!

I-100-I-KO. 244. Squadron.serial 177.
Pilot unknown.
 
Ki-100-Ia
Unit: 3rd chutai, 18th sentai
Serial: unknown,Pilot unknown.
Kashiwa. Spring, 1945
 
The new machine was really a terror: during its first combat above Okinawa, a group of Ki-100 could destroy 14 Hellcat without losses. They were engaged later against the B-29 above Japan until the last days of the war.

This is skin of Hurricane MkIb from British Navy in 1942.
