Happy Times mod

[Cybermat47]

This mod edits the eqp files of merchant ships so that they only receive weapons from 1941 onwards, in order to create more realistic convoy battles during the happy times period. Captains will be able to stay on the surface longer during attacks in the Happy Times, like Otto Krestchmer did during June 1940 until his capture by the Allies.

THIS MOD WORKS BEST WITH OHII.

Download: Coming soon.

Changelog:
v.1.0.00 (coming soon): First release.

I just found it a bit unrealistic being fired at with a 5. inch gun by a Polish merchant ship four days after the start of the war

Also, seeing as the British didn't even have enough destroyers during the Happy Times, I find it unlikely that they would have been able to put several heavy guns and the RN crew to man them on a merchant ship. Destroyers would have been the main priority.

Dont take it personal Cyber. Voldoya sounds like he doesnt know a whole hell of alot about history apparently. Your mod sounds good to me.

In this matter I'm interested not historical accuracy, but rather a game's return to arcade level after removing guns from merchants

PS: History of the WWII took place on my land and with my ancestors.. so I know enough apparently..

But are we talking about the game? ain't it?

This sounds more realistic . But only if playing on 100% realism with all the other hardcore mods as well .

Well let me clue you in on a little something there bud. First, one smart a#@ comment deserves another. Which is exactly what you got. Second, My ancestors fought on both sides and my Grandfather, who raised me by the way, served abaord the USS Grenadier from the time of her commisioning to her bitter end in April of 1943. So dont spout off with my land,my ancestor stuff.

WWII took place on my land and with my ancestors as well, so I also know enough.

Voldoya, don't worry. This mod won't be out for a while, as I'm testing it. If the happy times get too happy, I'll give the merchants weapons at earlier dates. The eqp files for merchants in the stock game are incorrect, in my opinion. The eqp files in OHII, however, are much more realistic, and I used those as the basis of this mod.
