Going around placing ports on Luzon3 I can't seem to get PT boats to work.. hit launch and am killed instantly.. Now if I assign a cv group to the port, my PT boat will launch but next to cv.. Any ideas?
10Bears--

Also found out CV groups get their own assigned numbers

The ports don't have ENTPNT in them for Boat Entry.

Found that out last night when I was testing Boats in my terrain.

When you go to the port you are actually in the vehicle hanger and that's where your ptboat tries to launch. You can prove it by changing the port tile texture to water where the vehicle hanger is, then you will see that your pt boat now will launch.

Sorry, tried putting the picture in the post.
Thought I understood how it was done.
I'll have to check procedure again.

Thanks Eagler.

Sorry 10Bears, this picture has the correct way. You only need the ENTPNT in the water.

Hope this works!
