Motor Torpedo Boat operations against u-boats
 
Hi,

while testing some things I found out how to automatically spawn motor torpedo boats from airbases. These boats actively search for you and attack you.

In a book from Buchheim (not 'Das Boot') I once read that later in the war these boats harassed u-boats close to their ports. Does anyone know more about this? I was wondering whether it makes sense to add such airbases for motor torpedo boats to the campaign layer :hmmm: Any information would be great!

Cheers, LGN1

I know some guys in here would love that mod, if you can incorperate torpedo attacks by pts would be a bonus to some, right along with more air patrols would be peache:D

AI can't fire torpedoes, although I do remember some posts from months or years ago where a modder had managed to spawn AI tops, but as I recall they would only head north or south or something like that.

Anyway, even if SH3's MTBs are a bit pitiful they're still fun boats to see. I'd be all for a mod that added some more proactive ones.

I wonder was there ever a case of an MTB sinking a uboat in WW2?
