Make Type XIV "Milk Cow" Playable

[tomw95]

Hi

I'd just like to ask for some instructions on how to make this "Milk Cow" playble using the one in GWX3. Since I cant find any other instructions.

If anyone could provide some instructions on just how to make it basically playable, I would be very grateful.

I'm simply curious as to why you'd want to play it, since it has no weaponry.

I'd like to play it becasue I'd like to be able to use the Mission Editor to design missions where it could simulate refuels and resupplies to other U-Boats. I'd also just like to sail it in the dynamic campaign and see how hard it is to survive the open seas without torpedoes, like the real crews did during the war.

It wouldn't be a Type XIV, but the two Type IX-D that were made were converted to cargo types with no torpedoes. It should be easy to modify the IX-D2's file to turn it into one of them.

Thanks for the the suggestion Arael.

But does anyone know if there is anyway I could use the model in GWX3 because it is a brilliant model and it would be the best one to use for the missions I've designed for the Mission Editor involving resupplying other U-Boats.

I figured it might have something to do with that. There's nothing in the game itself that would make me want to skipper it. I bet that thing dives like a ruptured whale, too. You'd certainly find it a challenge to survive in one of them.

Most whales sink when dead anyways. Rupturing one would just make it sink faster.

Thats why I'd like to make it playable because it would provide the player a unique challenge to survive without torpedoes while still reaching supply zones and re-fuel locations.

So if anyone would like to help me make it playble then I would like that opportunity to play a mission such as this.

Thought they floated for a while, sharks feed on them and such.

Betcha they'd suck to run into. I've ran into a sea cow (Manatee, and while scuba diving, not in boat), and that was interesting. Running into a floating dead whale would be..... different.
