Additional ships to stock WoV carrier?

[+ST0RM]

Going over Gocad's tutorial in the KB (yes folks, it is useful), he explains how to install carriers to a terrain where there arent any. Well, I'm curious to know if anyone has successfully added the CTF-58 or CTF-77 ships to the map/campaign. Having one ship is just lame.

 

I'm just asking to ensure I'm not reinventing the wheel, so to speak.

 

Thanks!

Putting a task force on a terrain is possible, it's just that the one carrier and its escorts most likely wouldn't be heading in the same direction, since the carrier changes its heading into the wind during the launch sequence (not to mention that it'll be moving) while the escorts would stay put at the headings defined in the terrain_targets.ini

 

That said, if you did want to implement this, then you can do it the same way as adding any other terrain object (also with usegroundobject=true).

 

What I'd like to see some day is maybe a task force incorporated into one model, so that this issue could be avoided (or the issue fixed)... although the escorts' guns would be thrown off by a setup like this.
