Questions on GWX 2.0 carrier air cover

Woof1701 · 12-01-07, 07:34 AM

Hi there,

I know this has been discussed before, but I can't remember what the results were. I'm reasonable sure that making planes take off and land on carriers is not possible but wanted to know if carriers and escort carriers can and will spawn aircraft in GWX.

Thanks

You are correct that Aicraft are not be animated to take off and land from carriers in either sh3 or sh4.
But yes carriers do spawn aircraft (swordfish and Avengers) they always have done even since Sh3 stock!

Oh ... they really spawn Avengers? That's really not good news for me. Guess they're more dangerous than I gave them credit for

Thanks for the information!

So when I sink a carrier inside a convoy in mid atlantic, the probability of air cover for that convoy drops. Right?

Yep

What about the modded carriers? Like Graf Zeppelin or the Aquila Aircraft Carrier?:hmm:

bigboywooly · 12-01-07, 12:38 PM

All depends if they have an airgroup attached to them

[AirGroup 1]
StartDate=19380101
EndDate=19451231
Squadron1Class=DBJU87Stuka
Squadron1No=2

From the data\Sea folder cfg for the Zeppelin

If you are detected by any unit... and the aircraft is within flying range of you... there is a chance percentage that they will spawn and hunt for you.

Aircraft carriers work just like land-based aircraft in many ways. (Basically, aircraft carriers can spawn air patrols that will hunt for you.)

bigboywooly · 12-01-07, 01:47 PM

Yes and more

While testing air cover in the North sea it was always Avengers attacking me
Carrier based
The nearest carriers were over 100km away

So I guess we hit the aircraft carriers first.

Then no spawning aircrafts hehehe.

Hehe, yes

If you can catch one, do make sure to sink it

My current career (sept. '40) has already costed the royal navy 4 Illustrious-class carriers.

Should be a good start?

Although I think, I will start a new career when 2.0 is on my disk
