Default Editing Weapons Loudouts

Folks, forgive me if this is stupid but I really want to get into this editing business. Is there a way to edit the loadouts on both controllable/non-controllable subs? The reason I ask is that I am using the RA mod to create some 70's-based scenarios and I just want to restrict the loadouts to that era or as near as I can get to it, i.e. no Shkvals etc.

I have looked the in scenario files and couldn't see any parameters.

Many thanks

Kipper

You can only edit aircraft loadouts in the scenario editior, and that feature doesn't really work reliably. Your best bet is to create a modified database appropriate to the time period you want to play in.

Thanks a million. Would you be able to point me anywhere that would have some knowhow on how to get started?

EDIT: Got DWEdit but no deal alas - it does not see the RA database as a valid 1.04

The RA database is locked, so you won't get any chance to mod it.
Other alternatives are the Alfa Tau 3 mod and the Lwami mod. Both of these don't have locked databases.

Ha! I didn't even realize DBs could be locked!

Many thanks for your pointers. Alas RA is the one with the drivable 70s subs

Thanks again
