I saw you add escort destroyers each with every viet tour of duty a very nice addiction..... but  I fear they can't show this way.

[+Major Bloodnok 465]

They will show as part of a NavalUnit:

 

An example is below:

 

[NavalUnit001]
UnitName=USS Bon Homme Richard Carrier Group
ForceID=1
Nation=USN
RandomChance=100
MaxObjects=5
Experience=100
Morale=100
Supply=100
Intelligence=0
RetireDate=9/1967
StartPosition=592000.00,618000.00
ObjectivePosition=592000.00,618000.00
HomePortPosition=200000.0,260000.0
MinFleetSpeed=10.289
Ship[01].Type=CVA-31L
Ship[01].Name=USS Bon Homme Richard
Ship[01].Number=31
Ship[01].Texture=USNGrey31L

Ship[02].Type=GearingFRAM1B
Ship[02].Name=USS Charles R. Ware
Ship[02].Number=865
Ship[02].Texture=USNGrey

Ship[03].Type=GearingFRAM1B
Ship[03].Name=USS Forrest Royal
Ship[03].Number=872
Ship[03].Texture=USNGrey

Ship[04].Type=DDG-2
Ship[04].Name=USS Barney
Ship[04].Number=6
Ship[04].Texture=Gray

Ship[05].Type=DDG-2
Ship[05].Name=USS Waddell

Ship[05].Number=24
Ship[05].Texture=Gray

 

 

Then the aircraft must point to the NavalUnit so:

 

[AirUnit001]
AircraftType=A-4E_65
Squadron=VA212
ForceID=1
Nation=USN
StartDate=02/1967
RetireDate=09/1967
DefaultTexture=VA212
StartNumber=0
NavalUnitID=001
ShipID=1
CarrierBased=TRUE
BaseMoveChance=0
RandomChance=100
MaxAircraft=12
StartAircraft=12
MaxPilots=12
StartPilots=12
Experience=100
Morale=100
Supply=100
MissionChance[sWEEP]=0
MissionChance[CAP]=0
MissionChance[iNTERCEPT]=0
MissionChance[ESCORT]=0
MissionChance=100
MissionChance[CAS]=20
MissionChance[sEAD]=20
MissionChance[ARMED_RECON]=50
MissionChance[ANTI_SHIP]=40
MissionChance[RECON]=0
UpgradeType=NEVER
 

 

And in the campaign, this statement:

 

StartDate=26/01/1967
StartDateDeviation=0
EndDate=25/08/1967
RunCampaignBeforePlayerStart=FALSE
ForceWithInitiative=1
NavalCampaign=TRUE
MaxMissions=50

Yes I knew that way. The other used in this camp doesn't work.

 

I think that it'ld be good to "Navalize" original SF2V campaings to SFNA standard ..... having escorts next to the carriers at yankee station.

 

Other reworks have little appeal without this.

Good to know this point with the destroyers. Something to rework there. Thanks.
