U-boat searchlight

V13dweller · 01-31-13, 04:37 AM

Within the U-boot sensors GR2 there is a Searchlight that looks like it could be an upgrade, and there is also files relating to it in the games files, It would be cool to have a searchlight when attacking merchants that are un-armed, to help with identification.
Also within the GR2 is this strange T shaped Apparatus.
I'm not sure what it does or what it is.
I would really like to have a searchlight on my U-boat

It would be great at night entering a harbor . Only if it was spottable by the enemy though .

Indeed, it made you as visible as in broad daylight, maybe even more to enemies.
And If it an AI controller option so it could track aircraft, but that's asking a bit much, I would be more that happy to have a Player controllable searchlight.

Player controled is the only way to go. If not.... Yer dead meat.

It would also help when attacking un-armed merchants, at night, and spotting aircraft, this would be a very fun mod, had it existed.

To more accurately denote your location for they?

It was only a Suggestion, that I didn't think too much the aircraft part.

But what if you used it as a reply to ship recognition signals(concept in itself to id other ships in the game),or as a reply to those dam Tommie's Leigh lights? Spotlight in their face might throw their aim off a bit.

Thank you for your response, we need more posts to get this thread noticed, and we might end up getting ourselves a searchlight

The stuff is already in the game,why not use it? If you could set it up to be movable like your guns are, it would be great to check ships and lifeboats at night. I always play the game where I check the lifeboats if possible. Or to be able to use it as an Aldis lamp. You already have the AI mods for subs, so why not a little ship to ship talk? I think a little back and forth blinking (if you are already getting messages from other subs convert a few to morse code) would really set off a wolfpack attack.

In the GR2, there is nothing connecting to it, so I don't think it was finished by the Devs.

But I'm new the Goblin editor, so I am not sure if anything else i connected to it.
I only merged the .SIM to it, if there is more, please tell me.

There are a bunch of people playing with the program editors. Just check over the posts and see who is heading that direction. They would have a way better idea on what to do. Me, I just get a bigger hammer.
