Ordnance upgrades?
Posted: Sun Aug 22, 2004 2:12 am
Editor question. Usual disclaimers apply (sorry if it was asked before etc.).
Lets for example say I want my aircraft to use different torpedos beginning from certain pre-set date. Following example is totally hypothetical, just to explain what I want.
We have Betties, carrying 18in Type 91 torpedo as their main ordnance. Fine. Lets say I add new airborne torpedo 22in Type 99 (totally hypothetical), starting January 43. And I define that old 18in Type 91 upgrades to new 22in Type 99 in torpedo definition forms. So far so good - it's all possible in the editor (at least theoretically).
Now what happens with Betties? Question is - will Betties start using new torpedo from Jan 43 all "by themselves" or will they remain faithful to old torpedo model as defined in Betty entry in the database? Or will the lose the torpedo altogether (that would be obvious bug) because the old torpedo is not available anymore and new is not defined as their regular payload?
