Balkans Theater of Operation for BMS 4.33 U5
-
Yeah, but, eg , vehicle difference within battalions (units) are for: NATO Armoured - M1A1 = 48 vehicles ; and FRY(RUS) Tank - T 90 = 32 vehicles ; FRY Tank - M 84 = 32 vehicles
… even NATO has flags +Allweather +Night , while FRY didn’t have that until I’ve applied them … which is logical for RUS T 80/90 and FRY M 84 , … don’t know for T 72 tho… + and for Recon/HQ/CMD units
and when you look at unit stats in db , we need a month or so tweaking Strength and Range(s) VS …, still
In my campaign count is for now, FRY 13581 vs NATO 6635 :mrgreen:
edit: There is something wrong there in that picture… seems wrong TRI objective, … Yougoslavian capital should be Beograd (in Serbia tdy.) … Sarajevo is Bosnian (Bosnia and Hercegovina) capital.
So ‘chopping the head of’ scenario should be targeted against Beograd not Sarajevo IF that was what was intended ? just FYI

Updated.
-Added Balkan L-29. (ccc1tw) (replace record A-7B)
- Added Bergpanzer Engineering Unit.
-Updated some textures and models from ccc1tw
-Updated objective links, parents and PAK. As a result, the campaign will work slightly differently. - The coastline in some places is made more flat.

Before Day 5, i let AI control GU movement, i use [add package] function to use maximal A-G power against RED GUs. Since Blue GUs don’t make big offensive, i start to control BLUE GU movement on Day 6.
I’ve to admit it’s horribly tiresome to arrange continuous maximal AG sorties thru the war … there are over 15000( reinforcement included) RED ground fighting vehicles, and downed to less than 500 on Day 7. Without this work, i seriously doubt BLUE GUs can advance to Bosnia-Cervia border by themselves…just too many GUs and ATO can’t provide sufficient AG support !
Tried many times, currently on day 11, the ATO can generate missions (CAS, SCAR, BAI) itself. Action non-stop.
(Hungary and Albania went to war)
But.
In 2D, the effectiveness of aviation is very low.
In 3D - 4 helicopters or A-10 at a time can destroy more than one battalion.In the original campaign - ATO tired very quickly and that was a big problem. hours hanging window with the words “Mission is planned.”
The current ratio of ground fighting vehicles is also close to the original. Many items are saved from the original.
Later will try to reduce their number and see how ATO will behave.
I did not notice earlier, the ATO gives the order to ground units “radar ops”, what is it?

in 2d the effectiveness is lowered… you may want to check:1.Attacker ac unit -[ stats ] values to determine how effective the unit to detect/hit strength against GUs.
2.Ground unit -[ damage from XX weapon] values to determine which weapon can do more damage.
BTW the 5 inch HVAR rocket not working on J-1. you can check Nordic DB edit for reference.

Those are Cavalry units, their main role is RECON!!
C9

If I understood well from previos editions “RADAR OPS” is targeted at EWR sites , and there they sit … doing nothing, controlling the skies, …and smoking weed…, so I’ve disabled that for cavalry units and gave recon with higher percentage to HQ units , they are weaker then Cavalry which can fight better, have anti-tank weapons and tanks.
You can try yourself in db-editor.

Ups.
Here last update version (Balance of Power) 13.02.2019.
http://www.mediafire.com/file/rfyvtm1g8758atp/Add-On_Balkans_U4.zip/file
Added airstrip and seaport of OmisaJ.
Bridge near Dubovnik.Added HWAR missiles for J-1 Soko
Changed damage points for battalions.Added army base polygon south of Aviano.
Removed Supply batalions from brigades - This previously led to an incorrect offensive/defensive ground forces.
HQ battalions - role score “Recon” set to 50 - for Radar ops operations. -
IS the High Resolution textures folder (from this thread https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?31813-Balkans-4-33-Update-3-6) still relevant? I just downloaded Balkan’s v3.6 but didn’t see that high res folder linked here so I wasn’t sure if I should dl it from the other thread or if it was now included in the full installer.

I don’t have a “ckptart” folder in the “Art”. I did in 4.33 but I don’t for 4.34

that’s great, have fun with that those parent folders must be somewhere, but I thought I heard you now have to use LOD editor to swap cockpits another reason I’m a 32er

The ckptart folder got removed because Balkans uses the same ckptart folder as KTO. No need to have it in the Balkans theater.
