Battle of Britain 2 1960th
*****************************************************
This mod is made for SF2E.
----------------------------------------------------------
I.
Battle of Britain 2 1960th terrain is a rework of Battle of Britain 2 Operation Sealion terrain, with focus on the 1960th. So you can fly and fight in a potentional Battle of Britain, which is fought in the 1960th.
As basic the terrain is set as a Western European Union versus UK conflict. You can fly either for the french, west german, dutch, danish and belgium forces or for the RAF or the Royal Navy. The conflict starts with the occupation of the British Channel Islands by France and the british response.Thatswhy the airfileds on that islands are set for the red side and not for the RAF. You also find beachheads of a WEU invasion force, so that you can fly CAS missions on south Englands coast.
If you like a more classic Soviets vs Britain setting, then you should look into the Goodies folder. In the subfolder Soviets vs UK you find the neccessary files to modify this terrain. Simply copy the two files (....nations and .....targets) into the Battle of Britain 2 1960th mainfolder and let overwrite the existing files. Then you can fight down the Soviets or, if you want, you can fly for the Soviets.
If you want to switch back you can do it easily with copy the files from Europe vs UK folder.
Compared with BoB2 OpSealion the new terrain has 19 additional targetareas. Some parts of the map are new tiled, some areas with photorealistic tiles, made by satpictures. The airfields are completly reworked, there are no two airfields which are looking as each other. The positioning of trees on the map (tod objects) is reworked on the most tiles.
A known issue are the blue squares around the islands of Guernsey, Herm and Alderney, which not really match the color of the surrounding sea. I hope to solve this in a later update.
The terrain comes with a campaign. It is a Western European Union vs UK campaign.
If you want to fly for the Western European Union you need flyable versions of following planes
F-104G Starfighter
F-84F Thunderstreak
Mirage3C
Super MystereB2
F-100D
All this planes are stock planes, for flyable versions you need only a cockpit. It can be found easily in the download area of CombatAce.
