Can I make destroyers & planes more smart in Harbour Traffic Mod v1.7
 

I have used Harbour Traffic Mod v1.7 to increase the no. of enemy shipping in the game - it looks so weird that no enemy shippings exists in enemy ports

The followings are based on a recent patrol @ October 1943

I love inflitrating enemy ports. It is a great fun and I usually find big ships inside it (Fiji Light Cruiser, Troop Transport, Landing ship tank ~ my favorite. It goes down with 1 working fish with a high renown [base value 320] goes to my pocket) However, that mod also introduces patrolling destroyers (usually 3) ,subnets and mines in it. I havn't hit any mine before since I always enter from the main entrance, with patrols as my guides. But I sometimes bump into subnets. (and even my torpedos hit subnets and detonates) I know I am making a loud noise, and I'm pretty sure that the Fiji and other stationary escorts has heard that noise. Until I fired a salvo and sunk that Fiji, the patrolling destroyers became alert. [Other stationary ships remains stationary, not tending to leave the port immediately]

When I go back, I met 4 planes, which are divided into 2 groups of 2. The first 2 circled appox. 5 times around me and I destroyed 1 with my AA. For the second group, they circled me for more than 10 times, only using their MG but not any bombs/depth charges. They finally got their HP 0, which is reduced a little by a little.

Although I think that they are powerful, their poor performance doesn't match the excellent performance in WW2. How can I improve their performance???

Wait until GWX comes out. Destroyers and planes are DEADLY. Trust me I've lost count how many times I've died so far, but I loved it. It's really great :D :D :D

Listen to the man :yep:

What you could do is using SH3 mission editor open the 'Campaign_LND.mis' file and look for the air bases, zoom in and select the base then right-click/properties, you will see entry for CrewRating, change this & Save!:up:
You could also open with notepad & do a search fo airbases.
Hope this helps.
Cheers.
EDIT: These changes will not work until a new patrol is started & not sure but may need to start a whole new campaign!

But they still love to shoot at targets through their own ships, run into nets and mines, and run themselves into piers and shallows, right? Don't tell me you fixed all that, too (right? Right?)!
