Sub Tender Challenge.

[yubba]

I came up with the idea,, but have no idea how to do it,, it's way above my pay grade I can fix them but can't build them,, this would be great in the Pt campaign,, I was PT-ing in the Solomons and was resupplying from a ship in Tulugi though I had to travel there on unlimited fuel from Australia.

yeah, it's possible. i've done it.
create a base, wherever you need it, place a docked freighter there, define the effective dates and BINGO, you have a sub tender and a repair/replenish base in-country.
it takes approx 15 mins.

good luck!

Can it that be done in a campaign ???? I never had any luck creating a Base I don't even know if I seen a thread how to do so ,, having some secret bases around the Philippines would really doll up the PT Campaign have to look up the history of PT- Bases in the Pacific.

i'll tell you what: you reply with your mod-set (use JSGME feature tasks-export-to-clipboard) and tell me where you want your secret bases and what date ranges you want them active and i'll custom-build you a mini-mod that you can apply to your mod-set.

Thank you that's mighty nice of you,, I'll have to get the PT out and see what the gas mileage is one way,,coming from the west port of Fremantle Australia I barely make it half way up the continent. I went and copied a list of bases,, I don't expect all I've thinned out stuff that would be a waste of space here. I'll have to get back with you on fuel mileage.and with some dates. and thank you again

The campaign for the new/old PT-109 ,it is what I believe is the TMO campaign structure,,starting in Dec 7 1941 with all flotillas with start points at specific day month and year well into 1944,, Torps work,, 20mm work and the 50 cal I regret I couldn't get the 40 to work as deck gun

that's quite a list. it may take me some time to do all of those. how about if we do it in stages.
1. Philippines to Perth
2. Guadalcanal/Solomons

and see where that leaves us.

as far as your PT deck guns is concerned, why not lash a 3 inch-50 on the front deck and pretend it is an Army 37mm...just like Ol' Jack Kannady? (boston pronunciation)

bad news, old son.
the only publicized PT base in the Philippines until 1944 is Cavite and that was evacuated in December 1941.
so, if you want to emulate Buckeley saving of Ol' Dugout Doug, we are going to have to get creative on base location.
i am going to connect a few dots and then progress to the Solomons.

i've created a file for 1942-Philippines that gives a couple of bases until March 1942.
I gave American Ingenuity the benefit of the doubt and kept the Cavite base open until 3/11/42 which was the day that Buckeley picked up Dugout Doug and delivered him back to the US Army on Mindanao 2 days later.
so you can run missions in/around Manila until March 11, 1942. after that you are out of luck (and bases).

Please download only this file. Thank you.

i'll start work on the Guadalcanal tomorrow.
Gotta go celebrate Christmas with the in-laws for the remainder of today.

I didn't mean to scare you with that list,,it was much larger I whittled it down,, and left what was relevant because my geography sucks,, as bad as the PT's gas mileage figured we'd play hop scotch from refuel bases to where the enemy was. In the Solomons Telugu would be fine area to start out from with a couple of forward bases I don't want to be a hog,, same goes with Philippines,, There is a base in Subic Bay in the PT campaign as a starting point,, I did get twin 40mm to work I had to load PT-Yubba over the PT campaign and do a little editing.. Next thing mileage in order is get back to you with the gas mileage,, and again thanks . fuel mileage is 500 miles at 15 knots

with the PT-Campaign which is what I believe is the TMO UPCCampaignData folder in the PT-Campaign which is over laid a stock game,, I think you said the mod you made was TMO.2 for 1.5 ,, I put the mod forwards and backwards of the PT-Campaign and only showed a Fletcher for choice of boat in Career but in single missions the PT showed and loaded in single mission Philippines Attack and showed your hard work where the other forward bases were. and thank you again

if it works in 1.4, that's great.
i put that caveat in because i only have 1.5 UBM and that is all it has been tested with.
BTW, the file i posted for you is also set for the 1942 Solomons Campaign. surprisingly, when i researched the PT Bases available for Aug 1942-Feb 1943, there was only Tulagi.

Went and loaded TMO ,, PT Campaign ,, and the Base Mod ,, Bases showed and the gas mileage got worse,, now in that file tweaking dates,.

lol.
how in the hell does more bases translate to a decrease in MPG?
you're killin' me, smalls, you're killin' me.

Couldn't come close creeping at 9 knots out of the Philippines start point to the nearest resupply ,, Same in January 20 1942 in the Java Sea,, I'll dig around in the PT file and see if I can boost mileage

HI there, I am playing SH4 with Dark Waters Mod and am based in Heligoland. There are no AI Boats there and I was looking at a way to add a subtender. Do you know of any guide on how to add AI to a campaign?
