[REL] A British Med Campaign

[JuJu70]

As per the patrol zones: once you finish your first patrol orders you should send a situation report and then you should be ordered another patrol zone.

I restarted the game about 6 times now due to testing mostly but every time after the first patrol and sending in the report I am told to do what I want or return to base.

Also I am more happy now with TMO visuals, at least if you're not careful you'll suffer in calm waters. I'd suggest adding 3-4 MAS boats to each ASW group operating around ports - which is historically correct.

I just made two quick patrols out of Malta in a U-Class. I got my orders assigned: patrol central Med. Spent the 5 days in my patrol area and when the patrol was considered completed, I sent the report status. The result in both of them is a message indicating a new area:



If it doesn't work for you, I can only think of one reason: you're running low of fuel or torpedoes. You need to have 35% of fuel or 25% of torpedoes left to get sent to another area. I'm not sure if you need to fulfill both not to be recalled back to base.

Alternatively, maybe you're still using version 1.0 of the campaign, which didn't have this implemented. You should then download the new version in the first post of this thread.

I start from Alexandria, I was sent to Central Med, Taranto and Adriatic. Each time I was told good job! do what you want. The only thing I did I changed the dates on all African patrols to a later date.

Torps and fuel is Ok

I started a new one from Alexandria this time in a T-Class, and again it worked as intended (except that I can't get a third different patrol area).

Hmm,

what actually determines if you get a second objective? Which file(s) is it in?

DynamicMiss.cfg in ../data/campaigns/campaign folder

Regarding the lack of proficiency of Sparvieros, I just found that in WDAD the visual sensor was that of a single-seater fighter. I just changed it to a bomber, and hopefully will have a better sight from now on.

I also did a bad conversion of the Pete into a Ro.43.

Great looking mod!

Is it somehow possible to add Polish campaign to this mod?
There were two Poland in exile ships: ORP Sokol and ORP Dzik (both British U type) operating of Malta.

I do not know if the game allows using specific ships, but maybe adding new U type copy with only random name list with only two entries could solve this?

Yes, editing the roster would make only those two boats eligible, but still you would have a crew with British names.

There are a couple of extra files that possibly would allow you to fix this (This is something I'm not 100% sure, as I didn't tinker with it up to now). They're in ..\Data\UPCData\UPCCrewData\, and can be easily edited with the notepad: CrewMembersNames.upc and CrewMembers.upc.

Actually looks good. But historically they didn't carry any bombs, so it shouldn't either or if that's impossible perhaps just 1 100kg bomb.

Now I'm reworking the stock Japanese sub-chaser to better resemble a Gabbiano-class corvette. Still a lot of work to do, but looks more like the real one than the original sub-chaser.



With eight! DC throwers and two DC racks, that one should be really dangerous .

No, sorry. This is a submarine game and a submarine campaign. Surface ships are targets (and some subs as well ).

OK no worries, looks a great mod and I have never played a British sub
