If you use something like Notepad++ or 010 Editor (costs money, but highly recommended for chores like this for its scripting power), you can do a search to find all occurrences of "CrewRating=", and decide how much editing you want to do... As an example, in the Stock game, there are 3383 "hits" for "CrewRating=" in Campaign_RND.mis, of which none are set to "5", 802 are set to "4", 733 are set to "3", 924 are set to "2", 358 are set to "1" and 566 are set to "0". Depending upon the mod(s) you are using, these figures will be different, but you can see in stock that the devs didn't want to scare-off or frustrate folks with rammings and depth charge attacks...  |
Great info, thanks ! Yeah, I looked in the mission editor..........no thanks; way to much work, with to much chance of screwing something else up with my fumble fingers.
I'd just like to up the early war (until 1942) escorts. Regardless of the mod, they're just plain unrealistically stupid and inept.
It's not like u-boats weren't also sunk during this time, but in the SH3 world you wouldn't think so.
Convoy attacks, I sink ships until I'm out of torpedoes (multiple attacks, almost all two torpedoes per ship), dive (submerged attacks) to 100 meters, set speed to two knots silent running and go do errands for an hour or two. I even go off silent running and reload the torpedoes once I reach 100 meters, using three knots to get to the depth/new course !?! Convoys just go on their merry way without even pinging me. Surface attacks aren't much different results.
Don't even worry about my aspect angle to the escorts. I just turn back to the convoy course and once the tubes are reloaded go at it again.
Mostly with NYGM and GWX. Every patrol I get 15-30k tonnage. I know early war vs later war ASW is different, but early war is to easy imo.
