Putting these here even tho it equally applies to the KM mod as well.

I don't know how much modding has been done of the various auxilary units which are available to you on-map. It appears that you have more control over these assets (i.e. more of them show up) as you move up in renown gained.

Thus would it be possible to give the player command control over other units? Say that you start your patrol in a surface raider (one of the pocket BBs), and a heavy cruiser is stationed right outside the harbor, with an ocean-wide movement circle. You just order him to tag along (or, rather, you order him to the next waypoint and you match his speed). For larger numbers of units it may be too unwieldly, unless you can set a full task force (i.e. more than one ship) to be attached to the AUX icon.

Then there's Condor search planes, and Sunderlands if you are a British H-K group looking for subs to sink.

I'm starting a related thread in the main SH4 mod forum.
