I believe this can be done via bombs xdp files.

Please excuse me, but I don't understand. Maybe I should have explained it better.
So back to my question again: I have a Lone Wolf mission, stand on my airfield with my AlbDII and immediately there are Np and Sw strutter above me.
What shall I do with bombs now?
And are all lone wolf mission of this kind or do they have a dynamic factor?

Thank you and Sorry!

Yes @jjj65, its clear (smile!).
I tried to remember on my question with a very gentle way, without to disturb your interesting discussion. And I was not sure, if my question was concret enough.

That's war Becker01. Sometimes you are ******.
Maybe run for the dug out or hut instead.

Lone Wolf Missions were flights in the war, which the pilots have done alone over the region in my knowledge (or is it an error from my side).
And after 3 lone wolf missions with fights directly over the airfield after the start I only wanted to know, if it was fortuitously and other kind of lone wolf missions are possible, or not.

That's all and a normal question in my eyes!

A lone wolf mission is just a mission you fly alone to 'hunt' enemy aircraft, so yes, you understanding is correct.

The missions in WOFF are generated randomly so if you had enemies hovering over the airfield three missions in a row that is just bad luck, not a normal thing or a designed part of the game as far as I know.

Cheers!

Good idea thumbsup. We can simulate real bombload weight by increasing the "Mass: " value in bomb xdp files.

Yep it's random, 3 missions is not enough of a sample to conclude anything. Even when fixing some types of bugs one of the problems you think it's fixed after 20 runs, then on the 21st bingo it reappears and back to the drawing board.

Had time for only a very quick test.

hope my math is right....

DH4

(from xdp file) MaxWeight (2352) & DryWeight (1636), difference is 716 lbs.

Two 230 lb bombs = 460 lbs

Therefore, with two crew, two 230 lb, and one 112 lb bombs, the engine should not produce enough thrust to takeoff (i.e. maximum takeoff weight).... and that didn't happen with stock WOFF PE.

Then I "fixed" the mass values and the result was as expected.

[Linked Image]

230 lb Mass fixed to "404.33"
112 lb Mass fixed to "350.80"

It's interesting to note that fuel was burning as it was trying to roll around the field, and the DH4 eventually had enough thrust to take off after 44% fuel was remaining.

I did similar test with Aviatik CI yesterday. Increased weight of PUW 10 kg bombs to 50 kilos and with 4 x 50 kilos (ie. 200kg) bombload the Aviatik behaved almost as expected. Just almost, because I would expect yet worse performance, however, IMHO, more realistic than stock WOFF UE (PE).
