[TEC] Has anyone else created a fictional boat?

Rosencrantz · 04-15-09, 05:46 PM

Hi!

Just thought if someone else has also created his own 100 % fictional boat to the game, i.e. boat without a history? I don't know how but few days ago I got idea it could be fun to play with a boat with no real life counterpart. So, after editing submarine roster a bit, USS Pointer (SS-215) was launched. (Yep, I borrowed the ID number from Growler.)

Before first patrol in May 1942 I was a little bit sceptic if I would like that fictional boat at all. However, after few days on patrol, I have to say it's quite fun to play that way. With Porpoise, Haddock, Gabilan or other "real life boats" I often found myself thinking RL history of the boat when playing. With my very limited skills I can't build a mod for a release, but my hint is free... Maybe someone would like to get Eel or Walrus to the game...

Greetings,

Yeah, I've sort of had that same problem; I've been reading US Submarine Operations in World War II by Theodore Roscoe, and I can't help but think of my ship's actual patrol history. So when I got a new boat (Gato), I decided to rename it to a pet name of mines, and started creating a little of my own history

The 'Akakazi' (Bungo Pete) patrol in 'Single Missions' in either TMO or RSRDC use the USS Nerka from 'Run Silent Run Deep' movie (CO: Clark Gable, XO: Burt Lancaster). It can be done; I just haven't figured out how.

I would like to change my sub's name/number since I always seem to get either the GATO or BALAO when I get a new sub. What files do I need to change to make this simple swap?
