Mikhayl, I figured that's why you reduced the chance an air attack. As for the shooting ships with AA, that was just wishful thinking on my part.

Mind you, I'm no modder by any stretch of the imagination but I always wondered if there was a way to make the computer think the deck gun was an AA gun and just tweak the deck gun file to act as a AA gun. Voila! "AA guns" fire at ships! you'd have to be able to clone the deck gun for all of the hard points and do dozens of other changes that I don't even know are possible...
:doh:

Fantastic mod though. That comment about gutting the airstrike.cfg file wasn't a dig or anything like that. Thanks for all the work. I've already got hours of enjoyment out of the mod.
:arrgh!:

The airstrike.cfg file was gutted in the mod. Forget the loudspeakers. You'll have to sail to England and put the sboot on a trailer then haul it to an airfield for them to finally see you! I think the base probability is 1 in the cfg file. It's between 35 - 50 in most other mods.
:)

Love the mod by the way! Great change of pace.

Too bad there wasn't a way to get the AA gunners to attack ships. I like messing with armed trawlers and such and would like to be able to zig-zag as I aproach them as my AA gunners were blazing away.


Thx Nedlam for your advice. I also was checking the Airstrike.cfg before, but i overlooked this entry. Thank you.

@LK, the torpedo tube is also corrected, I made a typo when copying the working animation from the SH4 .dat file :oops:

edit, here's the link: http://files.filefront.com/SB+S38+Cl.../fileinfo.html

Thank you very much for correcting the bugs, Mihayl. Now I have a lot of fun with your S-38. It is realyy great!!!!:rock:

Greetings Gruppe! Any thoughts on tactics for pesky destroyers?
I set one fish @ 2 meters, impact. The other @ 5 meters, magnetic, both fast with a 2 degree spread if there is a need for a panic shot. This works great if the destroyer or corvette are cruising straight and have no clue of my presence in snotty weather. My only success without a torp hit is rare unless my motors are undamaged and I'm able to trash thier guns with my 37 mike mike.
I'm running full sboote with GWX 2.1. Whats the next mod I should throw in? No expectations that it will help me against hostile surface targets unless it gives me twin 37s on each station that shoot as deck guns at ships.

I use USS Harder "Down the Throat" tactic...when they are coming straight towards me i reverse both engines in order to gain time, i line perfectly my boat and send 2 magnetic-set fish at 1 degree spread angle. Works brilliantly...if not, full ahead and try to escape!

Tried several times, No joy. Each time I back out or work my way in ole Jack Tar gets a good gun shot and takes out my torp tubes. The best result since I've used this tactic was when the situation deteriorated to a gun fight with a Flower class 'vette. Sunk him but killed my skipper I bought with 400 reknown. Just got the 2x20 mms on the bow. that might get me 120 meters closer before I lose both tubes and it turns into a gunfight. Your tactic is sound tho. Put him on the pursuit so perhaps he'll straighten his course. I'm not counting on a wonder tactic for this. I believe this a scenario where the MBT is most vulnerable.

The new version of S-BOOT for GWX 3.0 is already on the slipway?:D

Merry christmas boys:up:

linerkiller 01-04-09 09:48 AM

GWX 3.0 Compatibility report::up:

Alles klar except for:
The helmsman in the s-38 model lost his texture
The number of your S-boot is now invisible ( in radio messages,crew management pages etc.)

magick 01-04-09 07:28 PM

Will there be a fix for the helmsman, if I want to use it with GWX 3.0?
