AIR RAID ON PEARL HARBOR Campaigns MOD

Campaigns MOD For SH4 1.2


The improvments are follow:
1. Campaign Data The time started advances to December 6, 41
2.Improving the Ai's reaction distance,when you hit a ship,the DDs nearby will come here and search you.The reaction distances are different,from 30km to 50km.
3.Increase the DD's numbers of the Japanese port,now it will be more difficult to sneak the enemy's harbor.
4.Adjust the level of single/two merchent ship to highest ,now you can not destroy the cargo using deckgun,the ship's guns are more powerful than yours.
5.Decrease the number of the Japaniese Task Foce,it will also decrease the Convoy in later version.
6.Decrease some Japanese airfield.(There are too many air raids in sh4 1.1)
7.Increase some ship in the American port,and add the Pearl Harbor event,the Japanese airforces will attack the Pearl Port at Eight o'clocks in December 7 1941.
8.increased the ship in Freemantle in 42 .
9.Improve the ability of the Ai's gunfire,especially the ability to attack the periscope.
10.Adjust the AI of DD to elite.and had increased the ships of three ports of American army according to different year.

Please use the JSGME for setting up,wish you guys like it.Good huntings.

Looks pretty impressive, but did you do any research into where the ships were positioned. I wouldnt notice but it would be nice to have it set up as it was on dec 7th.

I installed with JSGME, but my career started at 4 pm on the 7th. A few hours later I got a message about the attack, but no actual attack...

mmm...carrier in port might suggest not. ;)

[Donner]

mmm...carrier in port might suggest not. ;)

I did some tinkering with a Pearl Harbor attack scenario. I placed two battleships in "Battleship Row" for my air attack test. Upon loading and testing the mission, I was stunned to see 3 carriers in port. :o

After further testing and tinkering, a certain number of shipping is generated automatically by the game which you may/may not have control over. Carriers were repeatedly placed in port and at different locations. So I gave up my efforts.

Perhaps, the USHarborTraffic layer needs to be edited. :hmm: Just a thought...

[Sailor Steve]

I agree with Kataki and Donner; it looks great but will be far better when the right ships are there.

I'm much more interested in having the proper look as time passes: wrecked ships, later ships repaired, Arizona slowly losing turrets and superstructure as years pass.

[tater]

Donner, ALL missions pull from the campaign layers. All the time.

If you make a dec 7 mission, you need to make sure that the harbor traffic from PH gets the axe (replaced with your own stuff), as well as any shipping in any mission they have that includes dec 7.

[tater]

PS, they clearly went to SOME trouble to make PH kinda look like PH, but then the went all crazy and added stuff that shouldn be there, etc. Sad, given all the buildings and quay/pier/dock objects they have it would have been fairly easy to build a top notch PH.

[Prof]

I've tried editing the USHarborTraffic.mis file to place ships accurately on Dec 7th 1941 but I couldn't make it work properly. Either all my ships appeared and all the randomly generated ones disappeared (for the whole remainder of the war!) or my ships were missing and there were the usual random ships.

Any ideas? There are several different types of MIS file you can choose when it comes to saving the file. I tried a few but still had no luck.

[ReallyDedPoet]

Great potential here, well done:up:

Yip, looking at \USHarborTraffic.mis now- All the "diamond ? ships" have a random probability by group association. I am working on a realistic Submarine Base for Pearl for the Campaign layer.

* As a test, just added a subtender and placed a "naval base" ontop of it in the Torpedo Attack mission. You can now pull-up and refit.

Now, the big question: Working on the \Campaign\(random data layer) US_HarborTraffic.mis file Also looking into adding a more accurate Submarine Base to Pearl.

* After some testing, US_HarborTraffic.mis, with non-random ships is the way to go. Got a subtender and 4 subs placed at the Subbase in regular campaign mode.

My Hats-off to the brave gent that gets every ship in the harbor accurate for 7 Dec 1941. A fun project thou.

Is there a Map editor as the shore line is not accurate and we need to add/remove some more piers?

[Harpo]

Yup. I was stationed at Pearl. The only thing right is the shoreline and the fact that Ford Island is an air strip. IMO the positioning of the submarine base and putting the dive tower in Pearl Harbor is far more important than putting the Statue of Liberty in unused New York harbor.

[tater]

The whole mess on Ford Island is one single object, you'd need to open it up and start bashing it in 3d.

Welome aboard, Harpo! Given your name, I'm surprised you can speak at all!:rotfl: As to the Statue of Liberty, they didn't have to put her there; they used SH3 as a starting point, and she was already there.

On a different note: I just took another look at the last picture (with the whole harbor in flames) and I noticed that all the smoke columns are blowing toward the middle!

Me either.:damn: Everyone went offtopic as usual and we don't get any answers.


Edit: BTW mine started at 12:00 12-7-41

2nd Edit: this time 13:01 12-7-41 reloading to see what time it starts at.

3rd Edit:attack started 8:55 acording to Eye Witness to history.com

Off-topic how? The topic was the release of the mod. Complaints about innacurate ship locations are no more off-topic than complaints about different starting times.

[tater]

Wasn't 8:50 the second wave?

[mgbmike]

The U.S. Fleet's Pearl Harbor base was reachable by an aircraft carrier force, and the Japanese Navy secretly sent one across the Pacific with greater aerial striking power than had ever been seen on the World's oceans. Its planes hit just before 8AM on 7 December. Within a short time five of eight battleships at Pearl Harbor were sunk or sinking, with the rest damaged. Several other ships and most Hawaii-based combat planes were also knocked out and over 2400 Americans were dead. Soon after, Japanese planes eliminated much of the American air force in the Philippines, and a Japanese Army was ashore in Malaya.

Just want to say thanks to W_clear for starting this mod based on what is provided in SH4. My suggestions are by no means trying to critique his mod.

I wonder if there is a map and scenery editor that will let us change the shoreline and Docks. In looking at the Google map I posted it's apparent that the sh4 docks are based on modern sat photos since the photos of 7 December Pearl show different docks where our campaign sub starts.

Pearl is such an important center to SH4. Thou I'm happy to see, "The Lady" in NY.


Cheers :arrgh!:

[Grey_Raven75]

So I guess the issue is that there's no set time of day for the patrol to start on the 7th. Is there some way to make sure it starts at 7:30am or something?

You can in the mission editor, but it's kinda loose. Might have to do midnight 7 December 41'. Also providing a lead-time for the first wave to launch and arrive @ Pearl. Some tinkering should get it close.
