Carriers

[MaverickMike 10]

Hi Guys

 

I have added both a friendly and enemy carrier to the stock red lightning campaign (thanks to the awesome knowledge base here at CA ) but i was just wondering whether it is possible to destroy the carriers. I have had a quick try by dropping a couple of 500 pounders on my home carrier (oops) and nothing happened.

 

If they are indeed destroyable i was wondering if its possible to set up a strike mission to destroy them and incorporate this mission into the stock campaign

 

If anybody has the answers please reply

A carrier acting as an airfield can't be destroyed, but the same ship added as a mere ground target (> terrain_targets file) could be sunk, since it then would be just another ground object.

 

I also doubt that an enemy carrier added via the campaign_data would show up at all.

Thanks Gocad

 

Just had a look at the map with the mission editor and the soviet carrier is there, however i assigned a couple of squadrons to it and they didnt show up in the command map (mission planner)

 

I havnt actually flown up to find out whether it is physically there though

To make carrier sinkable You must delate all thing witch is related with start and landing in data.ini file. Catapult, deck, aerofinishers etc.
