I won an Americam Campaign. How, I cheated..
Frist a little about myself. My handle is Sparetire. I've been flying for over a year now. I have all the Sim games, CFS1, CFS2, CFS3, FS2002, FS2004, and IL2 FB. I uninstalled IL2 FB. After playing all the MS sims IL2 FB felt very awkward. Just never got use to it. I have tried a lot of the add-ons. There are some great add-ons out there in the sim world. I have made my own airfield in CFS2 and FS2004. I even made my own weapons package for CFS2. I would love to share it with everyone but I can't remember who I borrowed all the different files from in order to give them proper credit. I have been playing CFS3 for about 6 mos. I can win a German Campaign in about 27-28 missions. I have won a British Campaign in 80 missions. And this is playing as fair as I know how. But I could never get anywere in an American Campaign. I have lost an American Campaign in as little as 7 missions. They just over run me that quick. This is when I found a way to cheat. Under the key commands section you will find Weapons Commands and in there you will find a command to REFILL WEAPONS. I think it is Shift-J. I changed it to just J. My 10 year old son discovered that if you hold down the weapons refill botton and the weapons release botton at the same time you can carpit bomb. Well this gave me an idea. So I started a new campaign. I carpit bombed everything. A mission would last any where from 1 to 2 hours. The best targets to hit are factorys, rail yards, shipping yards, sub bases, and air bases. Air bases are the best they seem to have the most points. I have found that I can kill more aircraft on the ground then I could ever kill in the air. One thing to keep in mind is these targets shoot back. And they are all good shots. I found flying about 10,000 ft or more is a safe height. I have still been shot down at this height. Locomotives are very good shots. And you don't know its a locomotive until your already on it. Ground units are good targets, (dug-in-tanks, dug-in-troops, ammo dumps, artillery, ect.) They don't shot back and there are a lot of them. Ships, well I just try to kill the destroyers first then go after the cargo ships. And I alway come out of warp to kill ships on the way home. If I'm not shot up to bad. The most I ever scored on a single mission is 10,600 prestige point. It seems if you don't score at least 3500 points on a mission the line won't move. I try to move the target icon up and down the front lines to find factory missions. If not then you can zoom in on the map and find a factory or rail yard and just pick a mission close and go and attack the factoreys after I complete the mission goal. Yes, I know some of you are saying thats cheating. But I already addmitted that. It still took me 92 missions to win this campaign. I guess I wrote all of this just to point out how difficult it is to win an American Campaign. Is there anyone out there that has won an American Campaign without cheating??? And how did you do it???
