I've been messing around with SH3 mission editor, trying to figure out where enemy CV's and BB's are.

So far I've pretty much gone around in circles getting nowhere - I'm looking under the campaign files at campaign_lnd.mis, campaign_rnd.mis, and campaign_scr.mis.

Am using GWX3, not sure if that makes a difference.

I figure it's got to be something like that

.

Any idea as to where to look?

Your best bet is to look in the scr files. Also look around the major fleet bases. Loch Ewe, Scapa Flow, Norfolk, ect. When you look in thoes ports look at the names of the ships in the ports. For instance one would be "BR BB King George1"

As for finding one out at sea? Its Hit or miss. since thoes are usely controled under the rnd campain files. But I say this hang around the approaches to the fleet bases. You will usaly find a TF comeing to port to dock. Also if you feel daring BF13 will have some CVEs later in the war.

Have found a few CVe's, they're fun to sink - but don't have the tonnage of a full-fledged CV. Would love to sink Courageous or Illustrious.

I have found certain large ships I'd love to sink in the scr files, but find it almost impossible to track them apart from the other ships. Would be nice if there was a filter or something.

SH3 Editor seems to be a very confusing program to figure out, and google provides no help on using it either.

Oh well, will just keep messing around - maybe I'll figure something out.

Thanks anyways guys.
