Hi!

Great job guys!!!

Tested it in a night surface attack on convoy.....

After first hit they maked the night to day for me....

Well done! Thank`s.

What a nice mod!

I installed only the merchant-ship lights, figuring they wouldn't do much...

Then around dawn, I hit a lone Victory-Cargo ship which didn't sink on the first shot. His light went on though, searching around for what hit 'em. This mod works very well. After seeing the ship, I installed the aircraft lights too.

U-214 this mod works fine with MVP.

Just got it. Will try it out later.
Sounds like it makes a big difference and works like a charm. Many thanks CCIP!

I love the aircraft with the lights! When SH3 first came out and I started browsing the boards, someone had a pic in their sig block of a submarine silhouetted against an attacking aircraft using its Leigh Light- I couldn't WAIT to see that in the game...what a disappointment!

Now, however, I can eagerly anticipate one of you posted just such a pic....

(You don't expect me to do that with MY boat, do you? :rotfl: )

It should be 100% compatible. The only thing it has any real effect on is that for one type of loadout on some of the planes, instead of carrying 8 bombs, they will carry 7 bombs and a light. I personally don't think it's a big enough difference.

Otherwise.... all it does is fill otherwise-empty slots on units.

Shadow9216 · 09-07-05, 10:59 AM

So are there flares?

jaxa · 09-07-05, 11:00 AM

CCIP - JSGME alerts me during installation that "ALB_B24Liberator.eqp" has already been altered by the "RUb1.43" mod.
Is this another type of loadout as you said?

CCIP · 09-07-05, 11:24 AM

There's no flares on aircraft, no.

Ships do use starshells, but these are fired from normal guns, and fairly rarely.

This is made with RUb 1.43 files, but technically should be compatible with other versions without a problem. It will not cause any conflicts, and I would expect at least the leigh lights to perhaps make it into future RUb. :hmm:

That's what I'm referring to- is there any way to mod this to allow merchants to use starshells? It would be nice if they would fire a flare when they've been hit...

Thanks for this mod CCIP!

Kalach · 09-07-05, 07:18 PM

Thanks CCIP!

I'm a bit worried though, I've started a new career and I've got the U-502. The first u-boat to fall victim to leigh lights

Hunterbear · 09-07-05, 10:23 PM

Awesome CCIP!

Keep up the great mods!

Anyway to increase the chance a wounded ship fires starshells? Just asking....

CCIP · 09-07-05, 11:03 PM

Not with anything I know...

I think it might be possible by creating a special gun that would fire starshells only, but that's not something I personally know how to do.

I have a feeling it might be a bit tricky, and would certainly require someone who has looked into modifying things like that already.
