Merchants with different vulnerable spots.

[BladeHeart]

First, I have no skill in making mods, so please feel free to tell me if this cannot be done or is stupid ("Kiddy Gibs" excluded ;) ).

Is it also possible to alter the vulnerable spots, engine, fuel, ammo, etc. of a model?

This is what I am thinking.

A number of differing merchants that use the same model but have different vulnerable spots, to reprsent differing cargo, i.e. a C2 that has the equivalent of ammo or fuel sections, fore and aft to represent a cargo of explosives. The variations are obvious.

The model would look the same, and the recognition manual would display the same details, etc.


Submited for consideration, or to be told this was discussed before somewhere.

Cheers. :)

Absolutely YES sort of

If you were to make a simple mission with 1 passenger liner heading N 0 degrees and 1 sub traveling twards it W at 270 Degrees you could make 3 scenarios on how many torpedo it would take to blow it it because the Passenger liner just like every other Cargo Class ship has the ability to carry 3 different Internal cargo Items, Freight, Ammunition, Fuel.
while some of the other Cargo Class Like the C3 or Liberty can also carry either of those things on top externally or other items like Planes, Trucks Etc

I made a few MP Missions with the object being to Blow the 5 Passenger lines at the end of the Maison and I filled all of them with ammunition and set them 450 M apart from each other and all 5 will blow with 1 torpedo hit If I had them with Freight then I would take maybe 2 or 3 to sink them and with fuel 1 possible depending on where you hit the thing,
But I have read post from people bragging that they have sunk Cargo ships with 1 torpedo or compiling that it took 3 or 4 to sink it and the real reason is most likely because of the type of internal or External freight that it was carrying. The Devs that made the Convoys had a lot of options when it came to the Variety of Cargo that the ships carry in this game!



NICE TONNAGE FOR 1 TORPEDO
