AI: Aircraft

[Soviet_Warlord]

I remember a long time ago I downloaded a user- made mission in which your sub was to try to defend itself for as long as possible against incoming waves of aircraft. it was astoundingly fun. Does anyone know where it went? When I reformatted I forgot to back it up : :cry:

[Krieg-Schwein]

I could make you one if you wanted just like it like it!!
What kind of aircraft and sea was it??

[Soviet_Warlord]

Cool! Well, the mission was full of low level bombers (emm well Swordfish biplanes :P ) and hurricanes. It was really fun... if you didnt hit flank speed right away and turn hard-a-port or hard-a-starboard you would usually die in a 10 seconds lol :)

[von Buelow]

I have made one... but only the bombers attack... trying to figure out why the other planes (P38 and Hurri) dont... :hmm:

Well, post it! I'm interested :D

[Krieg-Schwein]

OK here are 5 plane bombing missions each a little different with Swordfish, P38's and Hurricanes,
just extract into the

X:\SilentHunterIII\data\SingleMissions\English

folder




http://rapidshare.de/files/6767454/Bomber_Run.zip.html

Each mission is called Bombe_run_1 through 5

good luck

Nice! Thanks a lot! :up: :up: :sunny:

[Cdre Gibs]

First off, the grim reaper is a pussy cat and is not very intimadating! ;)

Second, the AI Torpedo's in game do NOT work, never have and never will. There is NO ammo for them, ie: no actual torpedo, its just eye candy.

The AI weapon system uses a different setup to the player weapon system, so we cant even use our torpedo on AI units.

[TAY999]

Triggers dont help for this, your best bet is to add an airfield somewhere close by if you can, then aircraft will generally attack.
You could also try to set your individual aircraft to elite and see if that helps in making them more aggressive.

Please note that too many aircraft might cause lag, especially when they start dropping depth charges.

[andy_311]

I initially made a single mission some time ago To see what the Iowa BBlooked like in action,anyway I tried to spice the mission up a bit,I added a few more ships to the mission that was fine,and added a few Aircraft well a lot of planes, condors,JU88s,ME109's,B-24s.Avenger torp bombers,JU87s and her the problem begins,Firstly the the aircraft fly at different altitudes,5,6,7,8,900 meters,I load up the game great every thing works well apart from the JU87s,and the ME109s they appear in the game fly over the BBs but don't attack them all other planes perform as they suppose to,not even the BBs fire on them.
I went back into the mission edition to see what the problem was and hit group properties and for some strange and silly reason the editor has changed them to "NEUTRAL":o now it wouldn't let me change the side back to AXIS because it's grey out when I put them in am sure they were on the axis side, same thime happened with ME109's there just heading to the last way point and circleing aimlessy doing nothing. Is there a way I can change them back so my planes are on the Axis side?
Any suggestion would be very apreciative.
Thanks in advance?

Hi andy,

it's an issue in MissionEditor.
Just do this: open the .mis file in an editor [e.g. 'notepad'] and change the concerned entries manually ==> 'Side=2'

[andy_311]

thanks mate will do.

[SquareSteelBar]

Does it work for you now?

[andy_311]

Yep it works a breeze.

[Respenus]

I would like to ask some of you, if they could amke me a SP mission, where I would be able to shoot down as many planes I wanted too.

Keep them comming or just put them all near me and let the massacre begin.

Thanks! :yep:

[WilhelmSchulz.]

The only problem with aircraft missions is that the PC starts to bog down with all the units in the air. This happans with any type of unit, too many, too slow.

[Koondawg]

really depends on what system your running and the seetings in the game compared to the VC you have...
Just bought my new system and can crank it... I have however experienced "BOG" on my old puter when say ships are sinking, fish in the water, and planes in the air...
Might wanna add in what OS your using when you pop this ??? out. All depends on the settings....
and like Shultz said you may get "LAG" with the puter as it is trying to keep up with all the crap going on...there are tweeks for that although I wont go into detail...
bottom line depends on VC, OS, RAM, PROSS....toss that out I may can point you in the correct direction in order to get the most out of your OS.

[Respenus]

I have the new Core 2 DUO E6300 1,866GHz, 256MB GRR3 graphic memory, 2GB DDR2 RAM!!!

Belive me, she can handle!

Any way to get more waves, then just a whole bunch of planes!

Thanks! :yep:

I can do that for you if you wish. Just let me know, k?

[Koondawg]

Well I suppose you could go into mission editor and make as many as you want then...course its gonna look like a bunch of flies on horse S@#$....

THX! and sure thing!

And I found a limit of around 50 planes (I dare not go higher). To keep it on a safe side, max it out at 25 :-?

Any way you could make the sub a U-Flak or am I already asking too much? :shifty:

I was going to ask you what type sub you wanted, or if you had any other special considerations. :D

Lemme see what I can do.

[Albrecht Von Hesse]

I whipped up something real quick; just a start to see if it's close to what you'd like.

I can't give you U-flak, only the VIIC/41 has that as a loadout option, but it's also not a human-controllable boat. :doh:

Lemme know how you'd like me to get this to you.

[Respenus]

Could you PLZ send me the .mis file. PLZ. I don't know what to do with what you sent me!

[Albrecht Von Hesse]

Create a folder in C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\data\SingleMissions (if that's where your program is installed) called "Ack!!" (without the quotes). Then copy the mission file I sent you (called "ack!!.mis) there. Next time you go to play a single mission you should see that new mission there.

[Respenus]

First off all for no apperant reason, my guys just wouldn't shot the planes. But I'm too tired too investigate further.

Could you PLZ change the hour to 13:00, so we can get some light? Or early morning if you beileve it to be more romantic.

And add some payload if you wish (I know I'm asking for too much:shifty:)

[MobyGrape]

heres a fun one its MP/but you could load it as a lan mp..takes awhile for planes to show,, grab a ixd with quad flack..P.S. its in German..Head towards Dover..
I didnt make this..had it awhile..Have fun:arrgh!:
http://files.filefront.com//;6095429;;/
remember to make a new folder , and place this missionn into it and then place in your Multiplayer folder..the Mp folder you would normally select/ name folder the same as missiom..ie MP4_Gomorrha

[sergbuto]

EQP files in aircraft describing various aircraft loadouts always contain so-called "Basic loadout" which includes none ordnance. Does anyone know for sure that airplanes can be spawned by the airbase in the campaign with such a "Basic loadout" or only other loadouts are used by the airbase?

[Dietrich]

Any way you could make the sub a U-Flak or am I already asking too much? :shifty: The U-Boat layout and the mission contents are independent. The mission creator can select what type of boat you get, but not how it is fitted out. If you want to change the loadout of the boat (that is, things such as the flak configuration) you need to do this yourself. We do a fair amount of U-Flak training at 34th Flotilla and have a guide on how to do it posted here : http://34thflotilla.com/forums/index.php?topic=94.0 . Feel free to download our Flak training mission too, if you want.

[edjcox]

A nice mission would be the intercept of Admiral Yamamota via the Lightnings and a subsequent recovery of crews...

Perhaps the Sub could be asked to remain surfaced at a specific point and get a few rounds off on the tranports carrying the admiral before the interceptors ( who flew a long way) finish the aircraft and bring him down... MAybe the sub could wipe out some escorts or other possible scenario's to make it interesting and blend hstory with fact...


Adios:dead:

[Dietrich]

Go to http://www.34thflotilla.com/MultiMissions/ and download the AirRaid.mis file. It is multi-player, but you can put it in your SingleMissions folder and play it single-player if you want.

The mission starts slowly... just a few planes, but it gets more and more instense as the mission proceeds. There are a couple of Elco patrol boats too, but you can take them out with the Flak if you have a decent one. I'd suggest taking a U-Boat with plenty of Flak.

Hope that helps...

[JU_88]

NOt sure about airbases spawning them or not, but in the stock game a plane with basic (no ordenance) will not perform an attack run on the player, instead it will fly around in circles decending until it plunges in to the sea. :lol:

[emtmedic005]

When aircraft r Spawned from an air base they come fully loaded. I was playing a SP mission and out of the blue, im not lying aboutthis about 50 Stukas and about 10 Fockers come out of the clouds and pound the convoy infront of me, i was like holy SH!T, where the hell did they come from, cause i didnt put them in the mission.

But the Stukas seemed to be carrying 3- 500lbs bombs and the fockers were carried their normal load, it was fun to watch the cargo ships get hammered but i didnt really need to attack, the planes did that for me.

[Otto Von Bismark]

must have been a pretty special convoy lol !

[chrysanthos]

how can i make a mission thats spawns random over the entire map planes to attack you? i cant make one:/

[gb027]

I have found that if you make your attacking aircraft Veteran or better and have them flying at @ 1000m, plus make sure they are armed with bombs, they will always attack the enemy. As long as they fly some where near the ship they can't resist! :yep: You can always lower the ships experience to novice, this will make their flak not as effective.
I have learnt this though many hours of experimenting as well as asking questions in this helpful forum!
Hope this helps
