Yeah you could, but you'd really want to change his sensor arrangements before you did that. Right now, as is, im not sure youd want him in the rest of the game. Basically i gave him the best sensors the japanese have in the AI_sensors.dat file, for the entire length of the war. His passive sonar has a detection radius of like 9KM with a sensitivty of like .07. His active sonar is basically the JP version of the Q sonar, very Sensitive, and has an downward angle of 135 degrees. So unless your in a balao, there aint no way your getting under his beam.
Ordinarly i wouldnt create an escort like that, but the only reason i did was because he was unique. Slap a crew rating of 3 or 4 on him, and he's death incarinate. Just a heads up is all, if you want to see more of him, id tone him down some. |
After reading this post and I watched Run Silent Run Deep. Good movie. Get to see the radars for a few moments. You get to see how cramped the sail was. Nice shots of the real deal. Anyway, yes, tone the fellow down some and have him randomly spawn in convoys....if possible! As of now, I feel we get more dumb DD then the smart ones. For those that install it will never really know whats in store for them so surfacing to use the cannon on the convoy will be a crap shoot at best. Leave the Hell Spawn in the straights and insert his less nasty brother to spawn at random in convoys. Unpredictability is a great part of this simulation. At this point, I get inside a convoy and just sink em all without one DC dropped. With SH3/GWX, the DD were very good and if I was to sink 3 vessels and make my escape, I considered myself lucky. So this fellow mixed in with the better DD mod would probably be all we need for a better simulation of convoy attack. What I'm asking then is one mod, better DD and one randomly HELL FIRE DD that will take everything you know to escape
