German Empire (Version 1.8.1)

Description
Introduction
A German secret weapon is provided by Fokker with a campaign start in the beginning of the war. Can these few prototypes influence the early war? Kaiser Wilhelm II has great hope!

Fokker DR1 Prototypes
  • Although the German 'Fokker DR1' has not yet been completely researched, six secret prototypes have already found their way to the airfields (replace seven 'Fokker Eindecker'). Warehouse was not changed.

Historical Pilot Portraits (German, British, France)
  • Complete historical portraits for all nations.
  • Historical Portraits from 'Original Pilot Portrait' mod. Thanks for the permission. All credit goes to the developer @Puntigames!

Emblem Expansion Pack (German, British, France)
  • More emblems for all nations and more choice for airfields and aircraft.
  • New emblems for german rudder.

Aces Expansion Pack (German, British, France)
  • More historical aces. The mod expands the aces from 12 to 32.
  • All 32 aces (14 german, 9 british, 4 france, 4 canada, 1 australia) are present at the start of the war with historical kills, medals and stars through victories. New aces are not affected by this.
  • The aces have now influence on the course of the war, whether as pilots or instructors.
  • The aces have a table system based on victories:
  • 70 - 80 victories 5 stars.
  • 60 - 70 victories 4 stars.
  • 50 - 60 victories 3 stars.
  • 40 - 50 victories 2 stars.
  • 20 - 40 victories 1 star.

Longer Campaign
  • Here is now a slider at the start of the campaign that allows you to adjust the campaign duration. Thanks to the developer @Puntigames for making this!

Pilot Experience (Stars)
  • Pilots gain double combat experience.
  • You can get killed so learn faster ;-) Take risks and you will be rewarded!
  • No influencing the training by instructors.
  • Training gets very slow above two stars. They are supposed to learn in practice then.
  • Each pilot has hidden variables for their talents, so some are learning faster than others.

Historical Ranking
  • Historical ranking list of flying aces. All aces are present at the start of the war.
  • The aces become visible heroes and makes the ranking more interesting.
  • This allows you to see where they are. There is a marker that jumps to the location and grayed out marker means instructor or training.

Mod Updates
Make sure you always have the latest version downloaded.

You only want specific mod content
  • After you subscribe just delete or change all other files that you don't like.

Mod update to patch version 1.8
- The mod has been expanded to 32 aces. That should be enough ;-)
- 2 new aces (Herman Göring, Arthur Roy Brown).
- Some historical portraits have been replaced by better ones.

Update 1.7 Aces Expansion Pack. Now 30 aces instead of 12. Historical portraits + new star system based on historical victories (see description).
Chief  [author] 12 Oct, 2024 @ 4:20am 
What's new in the next update?
18 aces will soon be integrated by number of victories and historical portraits. It will take some time but I'm sure you'll like it. This expands the game to 30 aces with different stars and abilities. Vanilla has 12 aces. I hope you will like the result!

TEST new ace "Lothar von Richthofen".

New aces are planned: german, french, british.
The 5 star system is being changed soon. In the next update more aces will be mod integrated and I need a clear star classification. Everyone will be integrated with historical portraits. The aces will have different stars from 2-5.

The paint jobs for aces (planes) are vanilla and have not been changed. From what I've seen paint jobs for aces are not available for bombers. Sure, aces don't fly bombers ;-) but theoretically this could be changed but that doesn't make much sense he,he.
Pilots/-emblems from other nations are not planned. Maybe I'll make a few more aces. There are other good historical flying aces that I would like to have in the game.

the paint jobs in your mod for aces are they historically correct....just would add to immersion.
will you be adding american ,Canadian and Belgian pilots to your mod fore the allies along with squadron stroke emblem paint jobs?

@Yoi, thanks, I tested the game again and again because of the mod. At the moment everything seems to be ok and it fits quite well. The newspaper doesn't seem to work quite as well as it should but that's not the fault of the mod. I noticed this even without the mod. Because of the 5 star aces you can regulate the difficulty of the game. Combat experience has much more value than theoretical training. That was important to me!
Offering a mod allows players to enjoy a change. In the end, everyone can delete or change my mod files, so that it is the way he wants it to be ;-)
