[WIP] PT-Boat mission pack.

nikimcbee · 04-22-12, 04:44 PM

When the playable Higgins and Elco are done, it will be cool to have a bunch o' missions ready to go with the mods. I'm creating this thread to cut down on clutter in the Higgins' thread (god forbid I hijack my own thread

)

I want to organize the missions by area of operation:

Philippines
Solomons and Guadalcanal
New Guinea
Mediterranean
Aleutians
The Channel/D-Day
Melville Training missions

Let the brainstorming begin

.

Side note: How would it work if we put AI PTs in missions? I don't think they shoot torps, but would they shoot (guns) at the enemy AI?

Will this be a campaign or more just missions? A campaign would be great.Basically you could write new patrol orders and flotillas for the PT boat a this as an add on to RSRD.That way say you could play the PT side of things during the Leyte Campaign, solomons etc, add some if needed.Just an idea... Solomons could be pretty intense in a pt boat.

I'm hoping it ( this project) will morph into that. I'd need a lot of help for that to happen. Maybe something like the Japanese campaign idea. I'm not sure how to make that part happen, but I do have tons of artwork to make it cool.

I'm in mission research phase right now.

If you're seriously interested in the project, go buy yourself a copy of "At Close Quarters", a highlighter pen, and a notebook. Start readin' and takin' notes. All help is welcome.

I'm reading the Guadalcanal canal campaign right now.

These guys (PT-Boaters) had a lot of balls in the pre-radar days (1942-43).

Lots of action stories.
