VERY BIG STATEMENT ............


I have been careful that with small change of file AI SENSORS the
planes can see also Submerged u-boots.you can be worked with this
important trait????? with such change will become very realistic the game :hmm:

aircraft ASW release
 

This is the initial release of the aircraft ASW mod. Not a lot got changed, and the changes themselves aren't drastic. But (hopefully!) this'll make encountering aircraft when you're on the surface a bit, umm . . . fun? :huh:

Pardon me for being a dumba$$ here, but this mod _does_ work w/ GWX2xx doesn't it? And no installing during a patrol, right?

On a more general note this mod sounds like it might indeed rock somewhat... somewhat BIG TIME that is :rock:

holy smokes :o
sound fun in 1944 :arrgh!:

AWSOME!!!!!! :rock:

i just got bombed in that mission, you REALY have to use it with the LRT mod :rock::rock:

just to let you know, i died :up:

Ummm, not being a dumba$$ at all. My fault for not being more specific, actually. :oops:

It was made to work (and tested with) with GWX2. I doubt it will work for anything else, as it utilizes the additional aircraft from GWX2. And no installing in mid-patrol, no.

I'm glad you like it. :)

I want to point out, though (giving credit where it is definitely due) that GWX2 does have quite a few of their aircraft already carrying air depth charges as their loadout. Really, all I did was a few minor tweaks to the bombs and air depth charge settings, and modified some of the aircraft to carry both bombs (for surface) and air depth charges (for submerged).

For example, the Catalina (with a 2,000 Kg ordnance weight) now carries two 500 Kg bombs and six air depth charges. What gets dropped on your head depends on where your U-boat is at the time of the bombing run: if you're on the surface you'll most likely get all eight dropped on you (which is hideous if they're at all close to you); if you're just diving usually one bomb and between two and four of the air depth charges drop; if you've submerged it seems to usually just be a couple of the air depth charges.

Thing is, this certainly gives you a very real reason not to diddle around on the surface when you have an incoming aircraft. If it's the wrong aircraft . . . you most likely won't live long enough to regret your mistake.

I've started modding the Mark 9, fast-sinking US depth charge. This is considerably more work and more involved, due to the nature of the depth charge files. But when I'm done, around 1942 (when they actually entered service) US destroyers and escorts will start carrying the Mark 9 fast-sinking depth charges. As they sink twice as fast as the standard depth charges . . . :huh: . . . again this should make for interesting times.

hang him...:nope:
traitor...:nope:

:lol: :rotfl:

If memory serves, early war American planes used depth charges set to something like 150-200 meters, since that was believed to be the maximum depth a U-Boat could achieve given two minutes' warning. The policy was changed to 50 meters after researchers at RAND found that, in the aggregate, U-Boats were unlikely to have that much warning or crash dive with optimal efficiency. Reported kills went up dramatically.

Those numbers are ballparks from memory, and I don't know how accurate my source was (since it was not primarily concerned with naval warfare,) or when the shift might have taken place. The book in question is Wizards of Armageddon, by Fred Kaplan, about nuclear deployment policy in the early Cold War.

I can't find it at the moment, but if I manage to dig it up later today I'll give more specific figures---if we're lucky, Kaplan's bibliography might cite the RAND whitepapers in question.

I'd mentioned above about getting caught on the surface being hideous. This was one of the test runs with the Catalina, with me doing flank speed on the surface:

I hate myself. :rotfl:

ASW update
 

Additional aircraft have been modified for ASW loadouts. The campaign.scr file has been modified so that ASW patrols carry ASW loadouts.

All US DDs and DEs now carry the Mark 9 fast-sinking depth charges starting June 1943. British DDs and DEs start carrying the Mark VII heavy depth charges starting September 1942.

I hope to have this version released by March 22nd.

exists also the command merge in order to they is compatible with
all Campaigns!!:lol:

All the depth charges automatically upgrade; the US upgrades to the Mark 9 in June 1943, while the British upgrade to the Mark VII heavy in September 1942.

And the Mark 9, ummm . . . looks like a Mark 9, too. ;)

:o

Blimey.

I'm a dead Kaleun w/ 40-odd hands lost altogether after this mod gets out, that's for sure :lol: S! m8, that's one rockin' piece of work you're doing there...

I say nothing.

Hey Albrecht looks like your next post is your 1k, unless it maxes at 999.

OK OK I'll bite - what's the story behind your "Fury of a Seraph" pseudonym?
Uh Oh I just spotted "Battlestar Galactica Fan" so I'm guessing that it's something to do with that.

Hello there is a link to this mod?:)
