hi! great great work. Did i say great, didn't? i noticed that there is something wrong (perhaps) with plane kf-16c block 52D: the sead missile has also anti ship capabilities but has 0 AP power. This thing is wanted or is wrong?
Thank you I will look into it.
Fixed!
Thanks!! :)
This mod is like a new game. Thanks for your perseverance to improove this great (and almost unic) game
Thank you! Funny though I sort of wanted to preserve the original feel of the game, just enhanced. So in a way feel like a new game was not my goal. But I am glad you are enjoying it regardless!
wow great work forgive me can you add also ship soviet kirov or moskva on model udaloy?
Those are out of scope of the game, and besides redfor navy is already strong!
Thanks for working on the mod. I keep getting a "ACCESS VIOLATION" crash whenever I played the 2nd Korean campaign. The crash happen whenever I try to load a save while in the campaign or the loading after finishing a battle. Sometime, the end of battle load doesn't crash the game but it does happen. Curiously, I finished Climb Mt campaign without a single crash so it is quite odd. I already tried validating game files but the problem still there. Do you have any idea on what might have cause the crash ?
somewhere in the mega patch update must have caused it. I confirm it is in 2KW campaign only. Reload the save until it dont crash. It seems random.
