At Gross's request, I have updated the Marianas database to be consistent with some new features planned for the next SEOW release (after HSFX6 is made public). As far as the Marianas campaign goes, the changes affect:
*) Statistics reports - "Cumulative Personnel Losses" on the Full Details page, and "Points Gained During Mission (Summary)" on the Mission Details page
*) History reports - Now shows the number of personnel in each side.
These changes are purely cosmetic - there have been NO alterations to object behaviour, no FM changes etc.
What you will see now in the Statistics pages is a detailed breakdown of the Army and Navy personnel losses per mission, and cumulatively. The losses are calculated using a list of crew numbers per object, e.g. a Hellcat has a crew of 1, but a Kuma cruiser has a crew of 450. Default crew numbers for each object can be found in the Costs listing of the Mission Planner.
Since IL-2 does not report KIA events for ground or sea personnel, the SEOW Statistics engine needs to make a guess how many crew are KIA or wounded/MIA when each tank, ship, vehicle etc is destroyed. It does this by defining the following adjustable parameters:
Code: Select all
$StatsArmyDivisor = 10; //Army personnel point value expressed as divisor of aircrew point value.
$StatsArmyKIAFraction = 0.30; //Fraction of army personnel killed in any action. The remainder are MIA or wounded.
$StatsNavyDivisor = 10; //Navy personnel point value expressed as divisor of aircrew point value.
$StatsNavyKIAFraction = 0.40; //Fraction of navy personnel killed in any action. The remainder are MIA or wounded.
The new features are operating now, however I have not updated all individual mission details, just those for SE-Marianas1944-194406110600.mis (and the Full Details link). The personnel losses information will be generated automatically for all subsequent missions.
I hope you like the new features and the different perspectives they offer. Please let me know if you have any comments or suggestions.
Cheers,
