In the Ammunition.upc I found these

Code:

 

[Ammunition 14]

ID=BubbleGenerator

NameDisplayable= Bubble Generator Decoy

Type= AmmoDecoy

Subtype=BubbleGenUS

AmmunitionIntervalOptionCurrent= NULL, NULL, 0

AmmunitionIntervalOptions1= 1941-01-01, 1946-12-31, 0

Volume= 0.125

PackSize=1

[Ammunition 15]

ID=SignalFlare

NameDisplayable= Signal Flare

Type= AmmoDecoy

Subtype=FlareUS

AmmunitionIntervalOptionCurrent= NULL, NULL, 0

AmmunitionIntervalOptions1= 1941-01-01, 1946-12-31, 0

Volume= 0.125

PackSize=1

[Ammunition 16]

ID=FakeScopeHead

NameDisplayable= Fake Periscope Head

Type= AmmoDecoy

Subtype=ScopeHeadUS

AmmunitionIntervalOptionCurrent= NULL, NULL, 0

AmmunitionIntervalOptions1= 1941-01-01, 1946-12-31, 0

Volume= 0.125

PackSize=1

So I guess we dont have access to these? (Other than the bubble generator!)

Considering that US Subs didn't use decoys in WW2,we are lucky to get any at all. Granted there may have been "Home built" decoys used a few times but nothing that was official.

Home built was right. They used Alka- Seltzer.:yep:

But what is a 'fake periscope head'? a raft with a pipe glued to it?

I just wondered why they left these entries in the file if they were not to be used... does anyone know if there are any models that are not ingame for this code?
