KM Graf Zeppelin Aircraft Carrier

For SF/WoV/WoE WW2: ETO/SWOTL Installs

 

A definate "What If..." style of ship, based off Hinchbrook's HMS Eagle

(and yes, I know the after deck was fully enclosed, as was the bow)

As a WARSHIP, it probably (and hopefully) won't show up in single, anti-ship missions, but can be used in single missions created with the Kreelins Mission Editor or La Missionuer (sp?)

 

With many thinks the Hinch for allowing me to mod his faux-Eagle into something 'passable' for the Krieg Marine.

 

Simply put, this is mostly for fun. So, enjoy it! :)

great model. I have one problem though in that I built some missions using the KM aircraft recently uploaded for this and they cannot launch or recover from the CVL. As the mission starts the plane shows up, falls through the deck and explodes. I changed the mission to start from flying overhead as the rest of the Alpha strike with Stukas, FWs, and Mess all show up and launch just fine. Fly the mission and trap back aboard and the plane comes to a stop, falls through the deck and explodes.

 

Is this just for opposition targets?

theres a fix for that behaviour, but I dont remember where...

AFAIK the planes " dont know" that they are on a carrier if the mission starts

Did you take a look at my guide to adding carriers? http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=12137

I've never figgered out the mission builders, but here's one I used to test it. It's someone elses I modded years ago; I don't even remember who originally built it.

 

Mind you, it uses the stock SF Desert map, so you WoV and WoE users are SOL

I can't land on a carrier for diddly squat...but this wll allow a launch and recovery, albeit landing is manually.

I'll try it. putting it into another terrain is easy - you just change the mission map to whatever works. Have done it before.

 

and its not an issue of installing carriers, have done that many times both into campaigns and for individual missions. What I have found so far is that the same thing for other carriers isn't working for some reason with this one. Don't know why yet.
