Swordfish torpedo attacks on U-boats

[sergbuto]

Yes, it does. A stock swordfish attacks and bombs with diving. I have set it up as a level bomber. Then at low heights this fairly looks as a torpedo bomber run. The question is how to make these planes always get spawned and do the attack approach at low heights.

Well I guess if you add them to one type of airbase only - say the small one

C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\data\Land

LAB_SmallAirBaseGB

[Unit]
ClassName=LargeAirBaseCa
UnitType=406
MaxSpeed=0.000000
MinSpeed=0.000000
Length=1
Width=1
[AirGroup 1]
StartDate=19380101
EndDate=19401225
Squadron1Class=FBHurricaneMk1 <--------Replace with the Swordfish
Squadron1No=2

Then make sure those airbases are the ones close to coastal areas

As for the height not sure if you can adjust that in the .sim file in the aircrafts folder

[sergbuto]

I specifically meant spawning at low heights. SIM file defines only the lowest height for the aircraft. Probably, it will be necessary to script squadrons at low heights in the RND layer using convoy waypoints to simulate torpedo bomber waves from a carrier as well as along the coast to hunt outgoing and returning U-boats along with their escorts.

How is that for a smoke trail of four rockets? Just used one of smoke particle generators already in the game.

Yes, I know. That 's what I was trying to avoid doing. Because it means spending a lot of time in tweeking the parameters to full satisfaction.

Look my fast sketch:
Min height = 30m (in *.sim);
Max height = 50m (in mission);
Speed = 220 knts;
Diving Bomber;
Loadout = 4xAirTorpedo;

Torpedoes do not fly, rockets do.
