GWX's most heavily escorted convoy. Beware!

Wulfmann · 01-25-07, 09:20 PM

It is no secret I believe the convoy escorts are too easy and too few in GWX.
So, I have started a complete rebuild of the RND file
When I got to RND group 86 and came upon this pack of escorts I knew I found a mistake or one heck of a practical joke. Here, check it out!

[RndGroup 86.RndUnit 29]
Type=3
Origin=American
Side=0
CargoExt=-1
CargoInt=-1
CfgDate=19390801
No=75
Escort=true
SpawnProbability=100
CrewRating=3

[RndGroup 86.RndUnit 30]
Type=3
Origin=American
Side=0
CargoExt=-1
CargoInt=-1
CfgDate=19390801
No=75
Escort=true
SpawnProbability=100
CrewRating=3

[RndGroup 86.RndUnit 31]
Type=3
Origin=American
Side=0
CargoExt=-1
CargoInt=-1
CfgDate=19390801
No=75
Escort=true
SpawnProbability=100
CrewRating=3

There are also some British escorts (hello the Yanks and Brits could not get along so escorted separate convoys on separate areas)

But with 5 Brits and 225 Yank DEs I would assume this is one convoy we should steer clear of.

You will forgive me if in this one case rather than increase the number of escorts I tone them down a little to maybe 12-15 :rotfl:

Wow, where did this convoy orginate?

johnno74 · 01-25-07, 09:36 PM

Can you find this convoy and post some pics?

PLEASE!

Wow imagine the starshells/searchlights if it was nighttime. Should chew down the mightiest rig's framerate!

Gah we're moving to Australia next week (yaay!) but my 'puta will be all packed up in a container somewhere for the next month or so. No GWX for me. (booo!)

Guess I'll have to live off whats posted in the screenshots thread.

Im suddenly reminded of this old pic from the humorous pic thread:

: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.

Man you guys are weak....
I figure if I leave behind 13 sailors, live off nothing but twinkies and rainwater, and remove the flak gun and toilet, I should be able to load an extra 75 torpedoes and send this "convoy" to sleep with the fish.
25m below me, Manual targetting/no exterior cam/ no map update.....No Problem

Biggles · 01-26-07, 07:14 PM

I'd like to see the reaction of these ships when one of them in the middle of this mess suddenly explodes.....it would be neat to see 225(sorry, 224) going nuts and trying to find you....and smash into eachother!
