[REL] New Units: Flakships and Fishing Boats

iambecomelife · 03-22-08, 12:49 PM

Two AAA ships are now available: one for the British and one for Germany. They are basically converted light freighters of about 1100 GRT. For the British version I wanted to use 4.7 inch guns as the main guns but the game did not recognize them as AA weapons. 3 inch guns have been substituted. The German ship might be a helpful addition in harbors, especially between 1943-45. Each comes with six camoflage skins.

The trawlers are smaller units of about 350-450 tons. The ships I posted pics of earlier were too large, so I shrank them. Three have sails to assist their engines, while one is of a more modern design. They have piles of fish on the foredeck (which tend to fly in the air whenever they take a torpedo hit). If you don't like the fish, let me know and I will get rid of them. Also, can you guys let me know if there are any anomalies with the skins?

These trawlers sink very quickly when torpedoed, but I don't think you'll want to waste a torp on them in practice.

****EDIT - Version 1.1 of trawlers released - also, versions without fish on deck.****

IF YOU ALREADY DOWNLOADED VERSION 1.0 OF THE TRAWLERS, BE SURE TO REPLACE IT WITH 1.1.

All ships have been tested for CTD's, with none found. Install should be easy. However, please read the readme's included, and back up your englishnames.cfg or germannames.cfg files.

Then I guess I will upload a fish-less version to "clear the air". In the meantime, if you are familiar with Pack3d the readme has instructions on how to get rid of them manually.

Still, you have GOT to see those fish go flying after a torpedo hit. It's pretty funny. (Although tragic for the fishermen).

Thats what i call excelent service!! Thank you and Bigboywooly!!

There is one question left. I wonder if these great

ships (both AA and trawler) will appear randomly without integration like Bigboy did? The trawler has a class 0 and appear in museum under warships. I tried to rename them to 104, like the other fishing vessels but, after that, 2 big crates appeart on the boat. Did i made something wrong?

Kind regards an many thanks

The mod has now been updated - thanks for the heads-up A6. The cargo nodes have been disabled (so no tanks or crates), a bad paint scheme has been fixed, and the unit class has been changed to 104. There is also a fish-less version available.

Great new ships Iamb. The download of the generic merchant seems to have gone properly, and its listed in the Museum with other British merchants. However, when I checked the Museum to see if the trawlers had been properly installed, they were found listed at the end of the British warship list, and pictured flying the Royal Navy flag. Any advice as to why they're not with the merchants would be appreciated.
