Reduce number of Migs

[av8or2016]

Ok, just got back in to SF2 Vietnam. I’m running the AG War mod, otherwise pretty plain.

In Vietnam, most pilots never had the opportunity to down a Mig. They just didn’t come up that often. In SF2V, every mission is flooded with about 20 Migs. Is there any way to reduce the number of enemy aircraft per mission to make it a bit more realistic? 
 

thanks!

In reality, the flight in Vietnam went like this. You are flying for a very long time. Nothing happens. You refuel the plane. You fly for a few more hours. around only clouds and nothing more. Nothing happens. In a certain place, at the command of the leader, you simply press the bomb release button. You can't see where they hit, if they exploded at all. Then you come back for many hours. I doubt it's interesting.

But if you are interested in just such a game, then you can press this button and just remove all enemy aircraft. If you don't like that a particular plane often appears, then in the file, for example, MIG-17F_USERLIST.INI you change the line

[NVietnam]

ServiceStartYear=1964

ServiceEndYear=1998

Availability=VERY_COMMON

on

[NVietnam]

ServiceStartYear=1964

ServiceEndYear=1998

Availability=VERY_RARE

 

Or you open the file (for example, I'll show the file from Germany, but for Vietnam you do the same, I just don't have the mod that you play) GermanyCE.INI and there you delete everything in this line EnemyMissionTypes, leaving only "="

....

[AllowedMissionTypes]

......

EnemyMissionTypes=SWEEP,CAP,CAS,ESCORT,STRIKE,SEAD,INTERCEPT,ANTI_SHIP,CRUISE_MISSILE

But i guarantee, the game will be realistic but you will not want to play it

Exactly what I was after. Thanks for the help Bazillius!

It always makes me laugh when you create a mission and you have Enemy air activity at "Light". And when you get up there, you are bounced by 12 MiGs.

I'd hate to have it set on "Heavy"
