Air Support

Werewolf · 04-27-07, 08:57 AM

Hello all

I'm running SHIII with the NYGM 2.4 installed and I love the mod, the only thing that I really miss is a feature from the GW mod; Air Support!

They had it, maybe they didn't use it to the full potential as the Americans did in the pacific, but air supported uboat attacks on convoys, especially in northern waters, took place, so.....would it be possible to implement this in nygm 2.4 or could anyone tell me how the GW did it?

AFAIK GWX has airbases close to the French and Norwegian coastline
If you make a contact report within the radius of that airbase there is a chance you will get air support

Without looking at the NYGM LND I cant say whether they have such bases
Imagine they do

Perhaps you can have a look in mission editor and see

:hmm: Does that mean that an air base in itself will cause an aircraft to spawn and attack? Is it really that simple?...just put an air base there with a reasonable radius and a contact report will trigger a spawn of a friendly aircraft?....it wouldn't had been so simple in SHII but then again, that was awful!

Yes the airbases spawn aircraft
There are triggers in the airstrike.cfg for how often aircover will show - provided you are within range of an airbase
