Smack the tankers!

Cerberus62, would be possible to put into the campaign Queen Mary as Liner ship or Troopship?

Thank you, Josef!

RMS Queen Mary IS already in the campaign. The probability of her appearance is (amongst others) triggered by the type defined in the \data\roster\names.cfg. Perhaps you'll never spot her, as she's got type 109, meaning she's a "Rare Troop Transport". Of course, it's simple to change this type to e. g. 103 (Troop Transport) or 102 (Cargo Ship), but then you'll meet three or four Queen Marys constipated in a convoy. That's quite unlikely and therefore undesirable in a simulation.

But if you want to sink the Queen Mary, I would suggest to create an appropriate situation with the Mission Editor, it's already contained in the game.

Hello Cerberus62,

of course you´re right, but I did not know, that RMS Queen Mary is already in the campaign. I asked here on the forum and others captains have told me, that RMS Queen mary is only in bonus single mission.

Thanks for your information and ... I must meet this rare ship!

Hi Josef,

if you can't wait (or if you can't find her), you may try the following:

1. Open Silent Hunter 5\data\Sea\NPP_QueenMary\NPP_QueenMary.cfg
2. Replace UnitType=109 with UnitType=102
3. Save
4. Open Silent Hunter 5\data\Roster\Roster\British\Sea\PPQueenMary.cfg
5. Replace UnitType=109 with UnitType=102
6. Save
7. Restart the game

Then you should find literally dozens of Queen Marys, because she's now an ordinary freighter. That's completely unrealistic (and therefore I refuse to make a hilarious mod of it), but if you like to carry out a test, well... it's up to you.
