The HCWW Database: HCE for WWII

Featured Replies

Very detailed job, Brad, I see the HF/DF station too.

I'm yet in Pyrenees. New platforms and new ideas, the next week, about some Spanish Civil War scenario.

More ideas about pilot's quality in http://www.avalanchepress.com/SWWAS_pilots.php with statistics and data, but too complex in this level of HCE WWII DB, we can return to this subject after more air combat tests.

 

Interesting stuff, Enrique, useful potentially for a PBEM or MBX in particular.

 

I think it would be cumbersome to incorporate it into an HCE database, because 'skills' are reflected in the ATA/DATA and PH values for aircraft and their weapons. You'd have to create duplicates of many entries to reflect this.

HCWW-090925 has interesting stuff (He-59, He-60, Ju-52, He-111B-2, Ju-87A, Hs-123, Hs-126) for Spanish Civil War scenarios, perhaps this weekend ....

But not a single Bf-110 yet, so Adlertag will have to wait.

The Bf.110C-4/B JaBo fighter-bomber is already there, but other variants will come eventually.

An interesting situation because in the extreme cases different countries have such differences in maintenance and operator skills that the same platforms are totally different in ability. Perhaps sometimes duplicates (with appropriate ATA/DATA and PH values) would be worth while.

Correct me if I am wrong, but there are no land based radars in the DB? kind of detracts from Battle of Britain scenarios...

You're not wrong, I just haven't progressed that far yet. If you want to make a list, I will give them priority.

For starters I would request CH and CHL for the British and Freya and Würzburg for the Germans.

 

Chain Home description and range/altitude trade-offs: http://www.radarpages.co.uk/mob/ch/chainhome11.htm

 

Here are the type numbers http://www.radarpages.co.uk/mob/types/types1.htm

 

Here for German types: http://www.radarworld.org/germany.html

 

SCR-270 would be a wellcome bonus!

If you trust the wiki, they have the Japanese:

I've added the installations for the Chain Home (CH) and Chain Home Low (CHL) radar network. Moving on to German, Japanese, and US radar types.

More sea mines (only german at the moment I think).

More AAA, (only Italian and German at present?)

Maybe passive "observers". Common intelligence gatherers of the Pacific Islands.

Something to simulate a 'secret' airfield, the type that were built over much of North Australia. They were built relatively quickly and their location wouldn't have been known to enemy until detected or they saw short range aircraft a long way from known bases.

The secret base idea remembers me about the Addu Atoll or Gan airbase issue, as referenced in http://www.google.es/gwt/x?wsc=eb&wsi=...xJJLW1Qbq18XzCg as example. The possibility of a secret airbase is factible with the aletorial placement of an airbase modelled as an carrier with speed=0 (I'm sorry, that's my first post from my first smartphone, and it's a very hardwork to tip the keys on it)

The big downside being that every aircraft that might potentially use it would have to be 'carrier capable'.

Yes, now I remember the CV Mitchel and the F-15 Eagle carrier-capable issues... ;)
