I have got the gunpod code working correctly both online and off, and to test it I made a 109G-2 tank-buster to fly in an "armour" interdiction

Until now I have never been able to destroy a heavy tank with gunfire alone wink

Do you want the Ju-87G I did? I sent Ray a copy.

... and here is a link

June 10th
Various patches were added to the original, and one of the links was bad. The link posted today includes them all


June 10th 2020 Tankbuster replacement

Run the downloaded "10thJuneTankBusters.exe" in your "UAW160 " folder.

The installation indludes four new exes and several files, including two new planesets "22-European TankBusters" and "22-Russia TankBusters" which are modifications of "22-European Late" and "24-European Russia late" planesets with tankbusting FMs in some slots.

I have also included a couple of planeset folders that reference Iron Mike's seasonal skins for the Ju-87
Some of the new exes are made particularly for train interdictions. Accordingly I have added an old theatre which has an extensive rail network, and its "Dir.set".

In addition to using gun-pods on several planes there are two experimental planes referenced in the "22-European TankBusters" folder, a heavily armed Tempest and a heavily armed Mosquito. Both are capable of destroying tanks and sinking destroyers wink

Ammunition counts are low but the damage power is high so you cannot be trigger happy smile
Try firing single shots.

wink Jel

BTW, if you like tank busting there's an entire "Tankbuster" plane set available in 1.6.


Heck, even paranoids have enemies.

That link to the Tankbuster exe is just giving me grief, telling me 'access is denied' and asking me to 'request access'. When I do so, it tells me an email response has been sent to tell me whether access has been granted, but no email has arrived.

Yeah, that's not the set.

It must be an error cause by me fiddling around with the new save feature in the latest PSM program. I must have over written the correct set with the set you are seeing.

If you look in an earlier upload that is still available on the GEN server you should find the correct plane set.

Among the other things I'm working on is rearranging the plane sets because some planes had more than one FM folder depending on the theater plus a million other little inconsistencies.

When I'm finished I'll have new plane sets that match the new aircraft inventory.

There is one planset.zip in the Aircraft_inventory only subfolder at the GEN but it is the one with the incorrect planes. Don't know where the other zips went, there should be one planeset zip for each of the aircraft packages.

I can build one and send it to you if you want or you can wait a bit until I finish this aircraft upgrade project.

Thanks Mike. I have got it and use the 24 bit ones in a summer planeset and a winter planeset smile
