Adjusting number of escorts in GWX

jedipsycho · 07-29-22, 11:49 AM

Am finding it really rough after coming back to the game from a long hiatus. Have GWX installed as the only mod.

Is there a way to adjust the number of escorts that spawn with a convoy? If not, is there a way to adjust how good the escorts are at finding me? Seems like these guys can hear a tick fart at 3000m as if my chief engineer was using a jackhammer against the hull of my boat.

Yes you can … but needs some skills with campaign files …
In the RND campaign file, you can adjust the spawning probability of each escort (zero if you don’t want any) & the skill of each ship (1 to 4)
Take some time to do it for the whole file…

You can write a script for 010 to change things in the blink of an eye.

Thank you Fifi and Jeff-Groves, I will give that a shot.

Used Notepad++ to do a Search and replace, didn't take long at all. Thanks!
