About time we get cargo ships!

[SlipKnt]

Yeah, but are they protected by WolfPack?

Subs?  PBYs?

 

Should be pretty cool!!!  Are they gonna be targets?

It the start for more to come.

why do the cargo ships look like they're underwater? In the picture?

Look closer.  Shadow/reflection on the water.

The cargo/supply ships where created by MrMidi of the CM Terrain Team and yes they are going to be targets once we work out some problems with hardness settings. Subs, PBY's interesting. Who knows what is next   

[ELD66]

Only if the cargo ships would sink... 

[B-17]

Cargo ships! That brought me awake!!! It's 2:30 am!!! Whoah!!!



So can we sink them yet? When is this thing operating? Is it every friday in July? Or just one?

[mrmidi]

They do sink....

The LST's beached at Anzio how ever do not sink.

And I can't let 68falcon give me all the credit. I may have created the ships and LST's but the entire Terrain Team as well as the CM Team,
where involved in testing and tweeking.

Hmmm PBY's and subs interesting thought.

We are recharged and ready...

Hmm...
Designer's Notes:
This new terrain has convoy ships, but due to a bug they will not be targets. Only the destroyer escorts will be targets in the convoys. I will again make use of the 'tower only' option for radar. Downed pilots may vector friendly aircraft toward or away from combat as desired.

Looks like a great setup~ Hope the 325th Checkertails can get its historical ride the D-11 jug instead of axis bombers for a change

The test frame was a blast, terrain looks great!

[B-17]

Is it possible to download the terrain for this FSO yet? Or do I have to wait until it's over?

[daddog]

You guys are Allied Seadog.

B-17 check SEA I and SEA II in the evenings. I will ask the CM's to load up the new Italy terrain when they are not in use.
