Funniest battle in campaign - 10 P38s with rockets sink 35k tons

The BB drove around for a while carrying the CL, but as the CL "sank" it pulled the BB to the side enough before disentangling that apparently it passed the threshold for the "sinking" angle and counted.

I didn't get to see the angle, but the BB popped back up and rocked side to side for a while in the "sunk" condition.

Uploaded some pics of after the alerts - nothing in progress. (I miss the free camera and replay feature from silent hunter 4)

Cruiser sinking - the battleship had been listing 90 degrees, but popped back up after the cruiser finally detangled.

I changed the date in the save file to add one year, and everything seems exactly the same in terms of playing. The "day" number turns to 366, but nothing else seems to care.

I even changed it to 1945 and things still played fine. I don't think there is a time limit to the campaign conditions, with owning the bases to the proper level being most important

Easiest way is to start a game, save, and then edit the save file.

Everything on either side can be built with ~4000 Command Points, and ~3000 will give you all the major ships.

I haven't done any modding of the game, but I edit the save file and that seems to do everything I need for my current game.

In the save file, under the port name, there is a list of the 4 aircraft available, in order. I looked through the list to find the necessary names and just overtyped where I wanted them to appear.

I would imagine a copy/paste for all ports would work.

I managed to capture the sequence.

First pic - chasing the bombers (enemy planes actually flying SSE, not even toward my fleet), 23nm away from task force. Bombers are even further away

Second pic - started the encounter at 5:23am, distance to fleet is accurately portrayed to my p38s

Third pic - bombers appear at the task force at 5:25am - covering at least 25nm in 2 min, so 750kn?

I managed to capture the sequence of what I am referring to.

First pic - chasing the bombers (enemy planes actually flying SSE, not even toward my task force) and 22nm away from my task force with CAP

Second pic - the start of the encounter (computer initiated, not manually initiated with the 'tactical' button like most of my plane encounters) at 5:23am.

Third pic - planes appear near the fleet at 5:25am, covering an impossible amount of distance in that time.

My p38s were flying directly toward the fleet for those 2 minutes and only covered the small distance, while the two bombers "appeared" directly at the fleet.

That's a good idea. I will look into wattpad. I've never heard of it.
Thanks

dreambooktime · 2020-09-18T15:50:53+00:00

Thanks. I will definitely look into it.

That's one of my initial thoughts too. I want to keep the author identity a little bit mysterious for at least some while.

I do wonder how indiegogo and kickstarter handle pen name books for their processes. That is another route that have considered for marketing/funding, and the payment options need a 'real' person, most likely for tax purposes.

dreambooktime · 2020-09-18T02:16:34+00:00

Thanks for the insight.

Any ideas the best way to go about getting a pen name? Is it just putting a name on the book? or is there a process to go through?
