Task Force Fest 1.0 MOD released

03-21-08, 04:08 AM

-What is this?
A small fix that greatly increases taskforces and taskforce-radio contacts on SH3 1.4b. It does not work with GWX or other supermods.

-Why?
After over twenty patrols and not one single TF i wanted to try them out. I was sick of sinking lone destroyers and C2.

-How do i install it?
Move your original Campaign_RND.mis to a safe location so you can rollback and place this one there instead (some reports say you cannot keep the original in the same folder even if you rename it) in folder "SilentHunterIII\data\Campaigns\Campaign". You must start a new career for it to take effect.

-But... this isnt a realism mod!
No not at all, and it doesnt try to be one. Its more of a training/action mod to learn to deal with TFs and do a lot of shooting (and dying damn those DD are dangerous when running in packs). There is already plenty of good realism mods out there.

-How does it work?
I use only origninal TFs, but change many of the "light cruiser only" TFs to include other ships. Most TFs now spans from 1940 to end 1944. I added mostly carriers, battlecruisers, heavy cruisers and some BB. The TFs are still fast and with lost of deadly DD trying to sink you after your initial burst of torpedoes.

-Where do i find TFs?
Just like in the orignal, around the british isles, gibraltar, outside Norway etc. It wont be a problem becouse the radiocontacts are so high, youll see approx location on the map eventually. This can also be used to learn the routes of TFs in the original game, as i have merely multiplied their density. I hang out a lot west of the british channel. Sunk a heavy cruiser and got away! Next game i sunk me a nice BB but then the DDs totally ripped me apart so i didnt get home with that nice tonnage... Carriers are also much more common then in stock SH3.

-Does this increase loading times?
Nope.

-Could you tweak it some more for me?
Nah, i will probably move on to other things, but just look at the file and compare it to the original, you'll see what its all about. If you have a problem ask here, although almost everyone on this forums are more experienced than me

Enjoy the Task force Fest, everyone is invited!
