Introducing the SS Panzer Corps

[naughtybalrog]

The Storch is awesome. I find it essential to have eyes in the sky. Would love to see this on the purchase screen...

Wish the paratroopers could engage quicker: one turn (at least) to get to the LZ, one turn to drop, and it is only on the third turn that they may discharge their weapons. By that time, my ground forces have the capability to be at the same spot. Solution: have the game allow flight and drop on same turn. Not allow combat until the following turn of course. Real world drops do not take nearly as long as the flight time to the target area. When I was aircrewing, used to lean out the side door and watch you airborne fellers drift onto the ground and it didn't take long... which is good if one has high velocity lead aimed at him.

I have to concur with you on your manly/macho statement... we were not in harm's way nearly as often as you. Yet one cannot get to the LZ without us wing nut transporters. As far as the better branch, let it be said that we suffered too: in single room dorms or hotel rooms with 3 hot squares every day. And terms like "formation" and "parade were relegated to some distant memory of basic training. Oh, how we suffered.

Night jumps sound risky ("What the... is that a tree I am descending into?") and I thought it was bad in the 141 being last in formation and dealing with the severe turbulence...

I think I'm gonna add the Storch for purchase,,but in the Elite Units Mod

A friend is working on some stuff for me and if it pans out there will will bonus combat aircraft in the Elite Units Mod. If that happens I'm gonna make the Storch buyable.

I'll tell ya what,,,beings that you where a loadmaster on a Stratolifter drop me a pm w/ your email. I may be able to whip something up for you.

Final version of the SS Panzer Corps added in 1st post of this thread

[spartan18a]

Does it work with the DLC Grand Campaign too?
It seems it doesn't ... or am I doing it wrong.

Load the SS panzer mod into GME and then start the game.

[spartan18a]

I've just done it. It works in the basic game but NOT in the DLC.
Any ideas why?

[airbornemongo101]

You loaded the SS Panzer Corps and then started a new DLC?

The DLC 's use the vanilla equip file and by loading the SS Corps into the GME the game will read the "new" file when you start a new DLC

The SS equip will not work w/ a saved core or an existing DLC game. For the mod to work it must be loaded into the GME and a new DLC game started

You can also try using this panzercorps.exe from this thread: viewtopic.php?f=147&t=30406
First backup your panzercorps.exe before having it copied over by this version. This version reloads the equipment file between scenario's.

Jolly good .
You made it work with the new panzercorps.exe or smth else? I just ask because your question might pop up again sooner or later.

[spartan18a]

I used the panzercorps.exe you told me.
Now those Frenchies will fall sooner and the BEF too

[airbornemongo101]

Glad to see it worked for you spartan18a

If you like this mod you should try Nikivdd's SS-GTPG Campaign. You'll love it

@Nikivdd thanks for the help again brother.
