Task Force

[andy_311]

I would like to make a TF (Axis) to intercept a convoy In the Baltic Sea the TF will comprise of Capital ships and Escorts but I want the escorts comeing from other ports ie Kiel to join up with the capital ships I also want to do the same with the allied side so they will join up at a certain point and sail towards the Axis TF I never done this before to make a task force up how can I do it please?
2 I want this TF with Air cover on both sides,low level medium and high level bombers but I don't want the aircraft attacking (fighters)just ships I want them to engage aircraft as well (be iteresting to see who shoots who down first with armour plated planes if it can be done)
3 the Primary mission of the sub would be to keep anyone from getting close to the Tf
Cany anyone help me out here please?

If you wan't to make the escorts join the TF, then they will have to be from a seperate group, and you will have to time the meeting perfectly. Good luck. AFAIK, all of the ships in a group never try to converge, they just follow a leader an try to maintain their orientation relative to the leader as the group heads from waypoint to waypoint.

The aircover shouldn't be much of an issue, I suppose they may try to attack each other, but this will be determined by AI and there is nothing you can do as a mission designer to influence this.

The primary mission objective is impossible as stated. The game does not recognize when any ship except the human controlled sub enters a zone.
You could however, create an objective thet fails if any of your ships are sunk and succeeds when all of the enemy units are sunk.

The mission editor is a bit too primitive to allow for highly creative or intricate maneuvers, I'm afraid, and there are only a limited number of objectives that are recognized. :x
