New mission default traffic

Pilot_76 · 11-23-10, 04:54 PM

Hello

When you design a new mission from scratch and you just put your sub anywhere on the map and play it, is it true that the map will have some sort of default traffic? I mean if I set sail and start going towards Japan I will likely bump into convoys with escorts randomly? Or is it just my sub on the whole world alone?

The mission will load all the Campaign traffic. So you will have all the ships and ports that are in the regular campaign/career. You can refit at the ports but you will not have a 'home port' to dock at.

Thanks Peabody,

Regarding the Campaign traffic, I have UBM installed if I go to the Atlantic will I see traffic as well? U-boats? Brits engaging U-Boats?

Can I make a "dockable" port? For hull damage repairs...

thanks!

but if you planed the mission dates right you can be sure to run into traffic in certain areas so used correctly the random traffic can be planned for but never for certain

I've done a bit of research here and I learned that I can kind of merge mission files. One post stated the Campaignloc mission file (I think that's the name). My intentions is to create a single patrol but having a hard dock (for hull repairs) and I having both Pacific and Atlantic traffic as well. So I will try to merge the Pacific and the Uboat Campaign files to see how it goes...
