If your referring to my WIP.
I enabled the dutch harbor flotilla, and gave it, two patrol missions. The variety where you have to be in the vacinity for 24 hours. The two areas are Attu, and Kiska, i made the allowable area you can poke around in, and still be considered in your patrol area fairly large. I made sure this flotilla has both S boat types available, and each currently only has two objectives, patrol attu, or patrol kiska. I didnt get over elaborate because i was pressing on to my "other" baby (no, not bungo pete).
I've then enabled Two additional flotillas. These are the new construction flotillas.
On starts in 15Feb42 and will disband around 5 or 6/42. This is gato new construction. The other starts in 15Jan43, and will disband around 4 or 5/43. This is the Balao new construction. In both cases, when the flotilla disbands, your transfered to pearl harbor. Its my intent to have you at sea, inroute to pearl as the flotilla disbands, rather then some auto transport and WHAM, there you are in pearl.
They have three purposes:
1.) to give the player the opportunity (and excuse) to get a gato or balao earlier then they normally could.
2.) To teach/instruct a few finer points that might resolve common complaints.
3.) To add some character/flavor to the game.
All normal flotilla are literally untouched aside from changes that were already published in Tmaru 1.4
As so far ive gotten two Sea trial missions scripted. I have one more to do, and im going to call it good. This one however, i think im going to create a new DE. Since DE's aren't being used aside from bungo pete (whos placed specifically in one spot), ive decided the best bet for mod compatiblity is to make him a DE since your using frigates and not DE's. This new unit, is going to be another version of a minesweeper, but hes being stripped down for a specific purpose, and will give no tonnage nor renown.
What im going to name him is a surpise, and what its intent is... well.... for the 3rd sea trial im going to set up a mission where this practice target zig zags back in forth varying his speed and AOB. Think of a shooting gallery where the duck tries to make himself hard to hit. The player at a stationary location then practices his targeting and tries to sink him.
After this portion is complete, the next portion is where ill be taking this same unit (who will be equiped with only one rear dropping DC rack), and use him to Depth charge the player, who must submerge, and make it pass the minesweeper. Its my hope to get this unit to drop a few depth charges on the player to "pop the DC cherry" so to speak.
After that sea trials are complete, and the player will be sent to pearl harbor.
