Planes, Planes and more planes
 

Damn. It is Dec 1, 1942, I have been bombarded by enemy planes 8 times in 1 day and I haven't even gone 500 km from St. Nazaire heading to the North Atlantic. They are coming in groups of 2 to 4 planes at a time. I'm spending all my time underwater. Sheesh.

Are you playing GW 1.1?

yup i dont like the fact the planes come at you in large waves I think I want in to airstrike.cfg and changed some things.

even in the stock campaign it is pretty murderous once you get into 1943--
re charging your batterys without a snorkel sooner or later involves you fighting it out on the surface -if your any where near the coast any way---

i just lost half a crew because i had no batterys left and had to surface--did manage to recharge the batterys tho--17 dead as a result :doh: ouch--

not enough crew in the barrcks at port to replace them all so nect patrol is with less than a full stack--and this time i'm going the long way round to the patrol zone--oh yes sirree--

i've allso knocked the settings down a little in airstrike.cfg to strike a gameplay balance --
so it's pretty bad as stock in some areas--

Where do I find that and what should I change it to?

After "Iron coffins" I know it was very difficult to alive without schnorchel. GW is close to real life.

Which things did you change in airstrike.cfg and to what?

this is probably the quickest way

Default Air Strike Probability=5

stock is

Default Air Strike Probability=15 (i think?)

so knock it down a bit from where yours is set and it -i guess- rolls a dice to decide wether to launch the attack

My default is 10, so knocking it down to 5 is okay then?

:up: yup--experiment see how you go along..

CB. This is a little off topic. How is the UK now-a-days. My grandmother was born over there and often wanted to go back for a visit, but, she never made it there. I had her heraldry traced (Howard) and way back in her family history she had royalty in her family, which was nice to find out.

sounds interesting --:up:

the UK isn't what it used to be tho--it's all brands and competitive fashions
--but may-be i'm getting too old for these things
