ben Posted March 10, 2023 Author Share Posted March 10, 2023 Updated this one to improve replayability and add trenches. I've kept the old version 1.0.0 available for anyone who wants the very predictable OPFOR. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Great work on these. I've been making missions for myself in Arma for over a decade now and finally jumped into SB, so naturally the first thing I did was learn the editor. I saw Smash and Crush played on Revenant's YT channel and decided to DL it just to try it, and now I'm playing through the whole pack in order. Going to keep me busy for a while and I'm definitely going to open them up and study them. A lot of these kind of sims suffer from a lack of reasonable content that has turned me away from most of them but these really add value to SB IMO. I like how they don't have a crazy amount of gimmicks like AI scripting or anything and you can control all of the units. Many of the missions released for flight simulations particularly are a bit too "story based" or "Hollywood-y" for my taste. These feel more like training scenarios. The balance is also reasonable, although I think a lot of people new to sim type games could find them very challenging, but for the long run this is better. They're not unrealistically difficult though, as many sim missions tend to be when they lean more on the game side and pit a platoon against a battalion. Just out of curiosity, how long have you been making scenarios for SB and sims in general? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben Posted March 13, 2023 Author Share Posted March 13, 2023 @Arch Thanks man glad you’re enjoying them! I agree about storyish missions. I prefer to build a sandbox that feels authentic and give player a job to do and some tools to use. Players can use their imagination to form a story/big picture for a scenario probably better than I could anyway. I’ve been making SB content for myself since SBpro was released 18 or whatever years ago and I guess releasing them here since about six years ago. Used to do Arma2/3 missions and scripting a few years back too. You’re right SB content is limited, and not many active scenario creators, so please release your stuff at whatever level of quality/polish it’s at! Happy to help with tips or testing stuff if you want. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been working on some unit templates for myself (No NVA Motorisierte Schützenbataillon templates? Really?) and some accurate-ish callsigns for OPFOR which I will probably release later and most likely use in some scenarios. I like the mid Cold War so I'm going for that kind of stuff. I have nothing too interesting made currently, just some arcadey scenarios for doing some gunnery with a friend basically, but I will probably release something, I like this sim the more I try it which is usually the opposite trend for most. Thanks for the offer for feedback and testing and I'll make sure to drop a file your way once I do make something nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSe419E Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 I was searching for TOEs for the NVA and found this, which is what I based my template off of: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSe419E Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 The callsigns are of my own design as I could find no good examples of their vehicle numbering system. It's what made the most sense to me within the limitations of the template structure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 (edited) I approached it a bit differently. Here's a SPW Bn. Probably tons of inaccuracies (Probably mostly in the ranks), but either way, I find this very readable and most of it shoooouuuld be okay. Have to be very creative with naming. EDIT: No I do not know why 3rd platoon in 1 Pz. K is 03. Probably gotta look into that. Apologies for offtopic.

I don't know what they call it, but I went for "Reconnoitering" and not "Reconnoiterer" :D. I can correct it if incorrect; should really find some reference. Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted March 13, 2023 Members Share Posted March 13, 2023 I'm pretty confident that these callsigns would refer to the type of troops, not their nominal activity. There's also the potential to use standardized (for Germans) acronyms, Aufkl for Aufklärer KpTrFhr for Kompanietruppführer KpFw for Kompaniefeldwebel KpCh for Kompaniechef PzAbw for Panzerabwehr Vers for Versorgung Schtz for Schützen Mrs for Mörser (PzMrs if armored) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
