I've updated the download with a couple of revised ops files that had failed to make an appearance- though they're not essential to successful mission generation.

Nice job on this update, Amagi. I had a look at a couple of the files in the FMB and noticed you didn't include any trench networks (Operation Citadel and Hungary 1945). Is there a reason for this?

I used the trenches in the new map to try to simulate the Sevastopol 42 forts, as an experiment. The bunkers might not be as solid as I'd like. The main problem is that when not everything on the template turns up in a mission, you can get half-complete trench networks, which wouldn't be good. Sandbags use less objects, and other than the dugouts the trench sections are redundant without soldiers to put in them.

Kursk, Kurland, the Rzhev salient and perhaps the Kuban might be candidates for trenches if this problem is resolved. I wouldn't consider Hungary as one of the maps most notable for fortifications, though?

Just like to say you have done an an amazing job here. I am currently flying the 1944 Crimea campaign using a FW190A8, we are in the middle of a bomber escort me & my wingman cruise up to 4500 thinking this will be high enough, the soviets never fly this high. I then get the "bandits 12oclock high" so I start lookin around thinking some of our low flyers ar getting hit. I look up & see contrailing 109s duking it out with P39s! This was a shock, and here I am thinking "drag em down boys" cause I aint goin up there. But I dont have a command for that do I lol. It was one of those "freaky situations"

Thanks, dasriech. The odd 'free' mission is often a relief, if you don't have too many... However, I haven't set the P39s that high. Where one side only has a small area of the map, as with Sevastopol, it's more common to meet flights of aircraft other than the main 'planned' encounter- the interceptors supposed to attack your bombers might have been chasing a recce plane or a two-plane element that climbed away from them. It's worse when you're flying an attack aircraft and your escort disappears after them.

I would be interested to know whether the ship missions are working, if you get one.
