Yah these missions crash a bit here as well, Leroy, primarily when changing stations or issuing an order to the plane / sub.
the game was not designed to use these so its no surprise.
flag transfer is a no no obviously.
a short mission is a good for a laugh
for plane, setting altitude to 300 does seem to reduce plane crashing into sea. in the mission below it flew to iceland and back twice b4 telling me out of fuel. put a semicolon in front of altitude to ram the merchant
the controlled escort works with a sub as well !
a surfaced sub can be ordered to attack with gun
but you cannot tell it to dive or surface
Upon ordering torp attack it will fire 1 torp per time you order it,
allowing you to select multiple targets.
sub depth setting appears to have to be approx 4 - 5 LESS then intended as DC is adding this amount for whatever reason. if sub too deep it doesnt "see"...
one could set up a "controlled wolfpack" in DC with this
or suicide ijn midget subs
i didnt get to it but using some of the script
from the box UGS 6 multi mission will set up the
your escortplane sub (whatever) as merely controllable bots
they accpet orders but you cannot flag transfer.
also havent tried using a gunemplacement like this yet.
but it prolly works too.
any way
