GWX's most heavily escorted convoy. Beware! - Page 2

GT182 · 01-26-07, 09:46 AM

Sounds like a Death Wish to me if you want to attack it. Time to tell BDU my crew is off for a 2 week vacation in the Carribean if it shows up.

Not so much as escorts
The 225 US ships were going home
Together
:rotfl:

Have totally revamped that convoy anyway
500 escorts now
All subs
:rotfl:

Methinks someone had too much coffee when they coded that line in the campaign files.

We love you Rubini and BBW!!!

bigboywooly · 01-26-07, 12:52 PM

Ah I cant let you blame Rubini

Was probably me - unless it was in GW1.1 - not
Too many late nights and long days
I started to see the mission editor in my sleep :rotfl:

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Ahhh, a modder's work is never done.

I think I'll go into hiding after the final release of GWX.

Ignorance is bliss! The moment ya find something wrong... or that needs a facelift...

Next thing you know we'll be re-modelling the Statue of Liberty in stages... scaffolding included.

... or programming random waypoints for WHALES!!!

Kpt. Lehmann · 01-26-07, 01:31 PM

...otherwise.

"... and announcing our latest acheivement for GWX version 27.03... KELP!!! Yes Bernard... it moves with the ocean currents!"

We could also model the snot out of the interface so that you can't move your cursor ANYWHWERE without something sliding out!

...and for GWX version 34... SMELLS!!! YES, LADIES AND GENTS... REALISTIC (historically correct) U-boat CREW smells... progressively smellier with time spent at sea!

...but then there would be the argument over what smells are truly realistic. LOL.

Wow, now add 500 planes, and 15 carriers. :rotfl:

Edited and fixed
i´m sure that it can cause a ctd in my computer if i found this convoy in a patrol, or a severe fps drop

I am pretty sure you are correct. In TGW 1.1 I had edited everything and 5-43 convoys had 15-24 escorts.
I can remember staying at peri trying to work my way past the outer layer of stacked escorts and, as you said, only about 4 maybe 5 were actively engaging me.
That was enough, I might add.
One would make his run while the others lined up waiting their turn like the people in airplane smacking the hysterical lady all waiting their turn in the aisle.
Some might ask why then add so many if only 4-5 will attack? Because even if you sink 10 you will still be hounded to death and this make wasting torpedoes irrelevant which forces a Kaleun to act more like a; well Kaleun!

I suspect the reason for 75 (x3) escorts was meant to be spawn probability 75% and it just went a little off.

I am sure the Bigboywolly is covering for a friend as I have doubts he would ever make such a mistake
