GW liners galore (is it only me?)

[deckard]

hi, i started playing Gw a couple of weeks back, great mod

however something seems odd, whenever i run into a convoy carrying troops i have always found liners in them, in average i find about 2 of them in every convoy, however i have found some whit over 7 in them ( i kidd you not!) and in my last 2 patrols i have sunk over 300k of tonnage thanks to them.

here is a small sample of my latest patrol logg:

05 Aug 1941
0506 CG 94 Ship sunk! S.S. Observer (Small Merchant), 2338 tons
1341 CG 97 Ship sunk! S.S. Gwaler (Passenger Liner), 24471 tons
1342 CG 97 Ship sunk! S.S. Hera (Passenger Liner), 24473 tons
1757 CG 97 Ship sunk! S.S. Arickaree (Passenger Liner), 24472 tons
1757 CG 97 Ship sunk! S.S. Fredville (Transport), 8320 tons
2246 CG 95 Ship sunk! S.S. Ackia (Passenger Liner), 24470 tons
06 Aug 1941
0037 CG 95 Ship sunk! S.S. Oltenia II (Large Tanker), 11697 tons
0040 CG 95 Ship sunk! S.S. Bris (Large Cargo), 7954 tons
10 Aug 1941
2054 CG 97 Ship sunk! S.S. Rosalind (Passenger Liner), 24471 tons
2100 CG 97 Ship sunk! S.S. Francisca Amy (Passenger Liner), 24472 tons

this imho is just a little bit to much to feel realisitc :P

what it comes down to i think is that all convoys have generic ships and liners are classed under generic troop ships.

now i wonder if i somehow could modify the campaing so that liners will not fall under the generic troop ship category, ( i dont want to remove all the generic ships as i like the randomness)

thanks

Cool! I dunno if this is GW or just plain old luck.
I play GW mod too, and i've never seen one! :hmm:

[deckard]

all of them seem to have been filled whit ammo to and went down whit big explosions after 1-2 shots,

i almost feel a bit guilty, i wonder how many troops went down,
there cant have been much surviors

Never seen a single Liner in GW so far.

What other mods have toy installed?

bigboywooly, the ship names will not show until the patrol is finished. Are you checking your log in SHIII Commander also? To get to the ships names in there you have to click on the blue patrol number to open the patrol details part.

[bigboywooly]

hi yes this patrol not over yet but just looked at previous patrol and another career i have going but nothing in there either

most odd

GW plus some of my home made mods, but nothing that should affect liner spawns,

the other mods are just some tweaks, sound mods, my own air power mod (soon to be released maybe) and some graphics mods.

LOL, the only time I've seen a liner in GW was when it was leaving a friendly port.

[andy_311]

The oly time I've seen a liner in GW is NY harbour and in the convoy that leaves from the port of spain in 43 and it's got a big gun at the rear of it as well.

[deckard]

maybe it is just this specific convoy then, all of them i have spotted in the CG grid. :hmm:


anyways, i would still like to know how i can change or remove a ship in the rooster so it wont fall under the generic class.

Ship names are added when you update your Captain's Personnel File. You need to do this after every patrol to overcome SH3 ship name/class limitations.
