Anti Shipping missions

[warthog64 92]

I have added many vessels to my WOE install, but still only ever fly against cargo ships, and tankers. Is there something I need to edit?

 

Thanks

Oh yeah I remember now. You have to change Warship to cargoship. Thanks

Actually, the best way to do is would be to "clone" them. That is, create a clone that is classed as "CargoShip", but retains all it's sensors and weapons. Makes AS missions a bit more challenging...

 

To do that, create a new folder for example, say Grinch's Fletcher and call it "Fletcher_C" (t for cargo), copy over all the bits an bobs.

 

rename the Fletcher.ini to Fletcher_C.ini. Insidise said newly renamed ini, do this for the ]GroundObjectData[ section:

 

[GroundObjectData]

ObjectFullName=Fletcher Class DD {C}

ObjectDataFile=Fletcher_C_data.ini <--- note: rename data ini too!

 

rename the data ini as shown above.

 

OPen said newly renamed data ini and do this:

 

[MissionData]

NationName=USN

ServiceStartYear=1942

ServiceEndYear=1971

GroundObjectRole=CARGO_SHIP <--note class change

Availability=COMMON

FormationSizeBase=1

FormationSizeVariation=4 <-- increases # of ships of formation

Exported=TRUE

 

save and close. Now you've got a new cargo ship, that shoots back.

 

BUT ... there is one major drawback we've discovered. The game seems to limit the amount of "Cargo_Ship" class vessels to a max of 4. And that's it ... so, choose carefully what you convert
