Heres the scoop. First of all, as you know, there are no U-Boat
pens as targets in SWOTL. A shame. So I have designated the allied
target as the Lemsterland Bridge, just northwest of Brussels. For
the purposes of this (and subsequent) mission(s), pretend that it
is a U-Boat pen. Heres how I went about it. I started a flight of
P-38's somewhere over the channel. The bridge is waypoint 2, and
they are set to dive bomb and strafe it. I then added a flight of
3 109's. They are starting on the runway, so they will have to
climb to fighting altitude. The ETA of the P-38's was said to be
12:58, so I planned the start time of the 109's to allow them to
arrive over the target a fem minutes early. Here is where I got a
bit confused. First, since the human player is in the 109 flight,
should I have set waypoints? Second, how accurate is the ETA for
the 109's considering that it is based upon the assumption that the
player will follow the course set forth, but can not know what
speed the human player will fly at, or what rate he will climb at.
Third, do you have any tips for creating scenarios with multiple
flight groups and multiple targets? Say I want a group of 109's to
start on a runway, fly to the channel coast to provide CAP for a V-
2 site, then on their way back to base, intercept a group of
straggling B-17s returning from Berlin. Logistically, how could
this be done? If you would like to share some tips with me, just
drop me e-mail at A.ROBERTS17 here on GEnie, or post some tips in
the SCORPIA RTC, SWOTL catagory. Once I get this thing wired, I am
going to be doing something really neat. I want to make a mini-
campaing of sorts, where you will fly 4 or 5 consecutive missions
in SWOTL, the outcome of which will determine your starting
disposition in a Wolfpack scenario. Say you manage to protect ALL
of your U-Boat pens and related targets, then you would be
instructed to load scenario1 for Wolfpack, which would corrsepond
to a higher complement of u-boats. Get the idea? Pretty cool eh? As
soon as I have the SWOTL scenario logistics ironed out (with your
help!), then this mini-campaing will be forthcoming. The Wolfpack
system is a lot easier to manipulate, IMO.
