Wings Over Vietnam Ground War and Targets Enhancement v2.1
by malibu43
This is an update of my original WoV ground war mod. This mod will add a "static" ground war to two new campaigns in WOV. I call them "static" because the nodes are defined in such a way that neither side can advance very far and capture the other sides base. The result is a front line that never really moves and continuous ground battles regardless of how much success (or defeat) you experience. This mod also adds VC camps and bases in South Vietnam and Laos, as well as armed recon routes moving between them. I decided to develop this after having a desire to fly campaigns in Skyraiders, F-100's, and A-7's that contained a more accurate mix of missions. I also noticed that with the game (WOV) in it's stock form, there is absolutely no reason to ever use Napalm... Vietnam with no Napalm?!?!? This mod fixes all of that...
To Install:
This is an enhancement of my original WoV ground war mod. It adds two completely new campaigns
To Install:
1. Back up your campaign folder and terrain folder if you have any mods already installed (or just do it anyway... it's a good idea!).
2. Copy Terrain folders into your WOV directory.
3. Install the following add-ons:
- Soviet Artillery: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=6043
- Infantry Pack: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=5350
- Mirage Factory A-7E: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=6889
- Sky Raiders: Razbam Skyraiders Volume 1 and Volume 2
or
free A-1H: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...mp;showfile=747
If you use the free A-1H, you need to open both campaign files and change A-1E, A-1J, and AD-7 to A-1H wherever necessary.
4. Drop the F-100D_data.ini in the aircraft's folder. The aircraft roles are modified to get more A/G and less A/A, which is how the F-100D was used in Vietnam. The mission radius is also reduced to keep it mainly striking targets in S. Vietnam.
5. Go into the _data.ini's for whatever Skyraiders you're using and change the normal mission radius to 350 and the max mission radius to 375. This keeps the Skyraiders limited to striking targets in the south. (sorry this isn't included, but the Razbam stuff is payware...)
NormalMissionRadius=350
MaxMissionRadius=375
6. Drop the 'campaigns' folder into your install
7. Go blow s**t up!
PM me with any questions or feedback.
Changes from 2.0 - Two new campaigns are included now instead of modifying the Rolling Thunder and Linebacker I campaigns.
