It works just fine , with an exception of few Brazilian and Panamanian merchants/tankers here and there...
It would be really nice if we could add those missing free nations in nations rooster (Like Brazilain, Panamanian. American ect...) Because it is really a matter of time when's game going to spawn British convoy protected by still neutral American escorts ...You can imagine what would then happen...  |
Okay, while we are still discussing your proposed changes to GroupTypeDefs.cfg, I will focus on other files, and I will keep on with my historical data research. There is much to be learned about convoy compositions from some common sources available on the web. For instance I have recently discovered that I was wrong in assuming that no Danish merchants ever sailed within Allied convoys. I am now searching for any "free nation" possibly missing from OH which should be featured in game, and setting their roster and allied/axis alignment appropriately. I have also reworked a bit OH's flags.dat, removing unused entries, adding a few new flags/nations, and adding to each flag the global wind controller required by TDW's flags-aligned-with-wind patch. Last but not least, I am creating the new campaign messages wich will provide the player with updates on any switching of sides and on valid ship targets.
