Milkcow

[STEED]

One little point seems a bit odd to me I have docked with supply ships and they look like ships. The first Milkcow I dock with was U487 and it looked like this.



That's my U-Boat in the background.

Is that just the way the Milkcow mod was done?

[MarshalLaw]

Yup, Had the Milk cow mod for alwhile and that's how it's modded.

[STEED]

Shame it's not a U-Boat. Well that's another one sorted.

Are you using that unification mod for GW? After I installed that, the number of milkcows in the Atlantic dropped wayyy down to historic levels. The readme also mentioned that the milkcows would be tankers instead of IXB's, which seems totally unrealistic.

You haven't said which milk cows mod you are using. It looks like Sansal's original version, which indeed did use surface tankers.

The NYGM campaign files contain crafted Type IXB U-boats designed to look (more or less) like U-tankers, and which have proper refuelling zones for supply between 1942-1944. Better campaign files will be coming out shortly with the next release, and it will then be possible to set a new player patrol grid, instead of 'NULL', after resupply from the milk cows (U-tankers).

The unified campaign files (which, contrary to widespread belief, were combined by me and not by Rubini) should contain the Type IX-B boats as U-tankers too. However, after despatch from the NYGM 'laboratory', Rubini made some other changes not known to me.

I'm surprised that he actually didn't use tankers - the Commerce Raider/Large Cargo is a dry cargo design. The T2 would have been a better choice.
