Neutral Ship Experiment

Col7777 · 07-17-20, 05:05 AM

Just for an experiment I changed the nationality of a ship to Sweden.

Approached a British task force, got no attack from them which was correct, then I fired a torpedo and one of the ships, as it struck the ship I got a CTD.

I was wondering was it because I was playing as a neutral in attack mode, any ideas?

Do you have to have an entry for it in the Roster / Nation / Sea folder? Is Sweden in the DefSide.cfg file?

Yes, I went on a different mission and this time it worked lol.

I went in the middle of a Japanes Task force, they didn't attack me but I sank a lot of them.

They were also being attacked by US aircraft but the US never attacked me, like I said it was an experiment just to see what would happen.
Bit of a cheat really, I had a free for all with no hassle, lining up to the big boys and firing torpedoes at them.

One of the tings I noticed was when I fired a couple of torpedoes at a ship, the DD's came hunting, I moved off but they stayed in the area looking for a submarine, one was even dropping depth charges.

I was playing as a ship, to them I was on their side.
Made me think this could make a good spy mission, you could go anywhere and never be attacked.

I should have said, it isn't just the Roster you need to change the name of but in the UPC file change the country as well.
