Adding ships to the AI

Post by oldman45 »

In the never ending saga of my mod, I have been looking at Ironman and the additional Japanese ships. My question is, if I take ships out of that scenerio and add them to my own, will the AI know they are there and will they use them with out doing anything to the scripts. Also will the additions cause any problem with the AI industry?

Thanks

Aren't the naval AI scripts all pulled by mission type, hq, target, etc.  It does not look for specific ship because these assets are lost over time at a high rate relative to ground and air assets.

Yes, if you add ships to a mod the AI will recognize them, and use them according to the scenario scripts.

Adding ships should not cause any problems to the AI industry.

They have to have the range to get to the intended airfield.  if they dont, when you select transfer to base, the airbase wont be listed.  Also, only ready aircraft can be transferred that way.  Put simply only the HB types will be able to get to hawaii from SF
