Off the Wall Modding

[NormS3]

Here are a few thoughts and questions that my father and I have come up with...
(am gonna work on a mod that might interest him a bit more)

Modding in Alamo Scouts and UDTs

Anyone thought of trying to mod them in?

a. would UDTs work as minisubs?
b. do minisubs even work as allied?
c. do minisubs respawn?
d. do minisubs lay mines?
e. do i arm them with mines or torps (then rename the torps as limet mines)?
f. can a device be made to give minesweeping abilities (obstacle clearing)?

Any thought on Alamo Scouts. He met one many years ago and really wants them in game. I just figure putting a couple airborne capable squads in some small independent units. Anyone got any good info on them?

Don't think so - different objectives. UDT were for beach obstacles.

b. do minisubs even work as allied?

Nope.

c. do minisubs respawn?

Yup.

d. do minisubs lay mines?

Nope.

e. do i arm them with mines or torps (then rename the torps as limet mines)?

Sure, a torpedo device is a torpedo device.

f. can a device be made to give minesweeping abilities (obstacle clearing)?

Nopte

Probably have some data, but how would you use them?

thanks for reply Don.

no allied mini subs at all, there go his british x class[:D]
Probably should have mentioned the british frogmen with the UDT, but UDT was bouncing around my head all day[;)]

Any ideas on how i might try modding them. I can only think of making them as squads and mark them as the (destructive) engineers. Dad really likes the ideas (he's horrible with computers and i'm a bumbler with anything nonhardware related[:D]). He is going through some depression after quad bypass and cancer removal surgeries, so am trying to keep his mind active.

Alamo Scouts am just figuring on a naming a moble radar as Alamo scouts to simulate info gathering. Not not planning on any av, but dad's telling stories . . .

Definatley open to ideas[8D]
