Description:

Description – what it does
This is a mod config that changes the Secret Weapons mod’s
ammunition damages for both Allied & Axis planes.
Adds two duplicate Ju87 Stukas in the editor, one with attached Jericho Trumpet,
and the other with a replica skin of Hans Ulrich Rudel’s summer black & brown stripe
camouflage scheme .
It also upgrades the plane’s armor to the same strength as the IL-2.

For the ammunition types it mainly increases the values for:

  • hit
  • indirectHit
  • indirectHitRange

for the following ammunition types:

Dropped bombs

125kg, 250kg, 500kg, & 1000kg

Pylon Gunpods

Bk 37mm AP, BK 37mm HE, MK 103, MG 151

Forward Wing & Rear gunner Cannons

  • 127x99_Ball
  • B_50cal
  • 762×54
  • 7.92 mm (MG 17)
  • 13 mm (MG 131)
  • 15 mm (MG 151)
  • 20 mm (MG-FF, MG 151/20)
  • 30 mm low-velocity (MK 108)

Rockets

rs82 HE ffar, m8, r4m, hvar, hs297

So what does this mean the values for the ammunition types
have increased, what am i to expect or looking for ingame when flying any plane from SW mod?

This means that the ammunition types listed above be in Bombs, cannons,
machine guns, or rockets will do more damage then the default or vanilla ammunition
types of the Secret Weapons mod.
So you can expect to actually make believable kills when shooting guns, cannons and even dropping bombs,
just to note that, not all bombs dropped will kill or destroy a target, there are things to consider that would determine what destroys a target, that being what is the target, how far from the target did the bomb explode, what type of bomb is it, ect,.

Ju87 Stuka Plane with Siren

– Adds a duplicate Ju87 Stuka with an attached Jericho Siren to the editor which can be
enabled and disabled through your action menu while flying ingame.

Where can i find this new Stuka plane with the Siren?
You can find the new plane here in the Eden editor under:

Blufor—> SW Luftwaffe —> Planes —> Ju87 Stuka (Siren)

How do i activate the siren?

All you need to do is place the plane the Ju87 Stuka (Siren) in your mission
then once ingame, scroll your action menu and at the bottom of the list
you should see disable siren as it will be on by default, so you can enable it and disable it
any time.
The way it works is while its enabled when your flying as soon as
you change the angle of your plane and dive at a 30 degree downward angle the siren will turn
on and will remain on until you level out the plane or disable the siren.

Ju87 Stuka Plane with Hans Ulrich Rudel’s Skin

Where can i find this new Stuka plane with the Rudels skin?
You can find the new plane here in the Eden editor under:

Blufor—> SW Luftwaffe —> Planes —> Ju87 Stuka (Rudel Skin)

Realism, & Historical accuracy
This mod is not meant to be a realistic representation, or historically accurate.
I’m not aiming for historical accuracy, but more of whats believable ingame.
