Where do you find ships???


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello,

I've been flying for hours over the rivers around Stalingrad, NEVER seen a vessel, ship, boat, anything!

 

Is there a particular area where they are located? I'd love to sink one with my 37mm Stuka!

 

 

 

 

Second question and quite off-topic: Can BoS/BoM save jpg screenies too? Any setting I should know?

Posted (edited)

Keep in mind that in Campaign, the Ju-87 attacking ships do not accept 37mm cannon in the selection screens, only bombs (do not know why...).

So use the Quick Missions.

 

About the screens, BoS saves screenshoots as .BMP in the main directory. Yo may then open them in Paint and "save as" .JPG.

Else, it also save the same screenie in .PNG format under /bin/game folder. Choose your poison...

 

Forgot it, the key is the standard windows screen taking key, "Print Screen" usually right to the F12 key.

Oppure, "Stamp" in italiano.

 

:salute:

Fazer.

Attacking ships in campaign, would that be a bombing or ground attack mission type? Been wanting to get one of these missions, but haven't yet.

Maybe because Bk-37mm are fantasy in Stalingrad...   ;)

 

But, is OK against small ships.

That's fine, quick mission or editor is my usual way, never played a campaign in any flightsim :)

Am I wrong, or we get only 2 ships? I haven't explore dthat much, hope I'm missing something.

Anyway yeah, the 37mm cannon screws them big time, ouch.

And the 1800kgs bomb is fun.

 

About the screenshots, looks like I'll have to setup some batch conversion job in Photoshop, sooner or later. Got tons of nice screenies.

 

Thank you all guys.

In RoF the ships could sometimes be found in the area of Reims at around 3000ft.

I think there are three ship models. A weaponless barge (try checking ships and unchecking antiaircraft in quick mission), a small gunship with a front tank turret and Katyusha on the back, and a sort of steamer (side wheels) gunship.

 

I also spotted a rare Landship:

If you have AA selected as a target I think the barges are armed. I seem to recall seeing one with gunners on it.

I havent seen the barges yet. Only the armoured boat and the paddle boat. 

 

The paddle boat does not like HE 37mm stuka

Neither does the larger barges... ;)

i think the barges are easier to destroy when carrying AAA. I think the explosion of AAA guns on deck can cause the barge to be destroyed. (At least that's my experience)

Just aim for the rear part of the barges and 4-5 hits of HE 37mm of the stukas will blow it up.

sry, i was talking about normal 20mms, should've specified that

The Barges can be armed or unarmed, and the armored (T-34 1941 turret) gun boats can either have a Katusha rack or AA gun in the rear. Don't know if the paddle wheelers have any variations.

I've sunk the gunboats with just the .50 cals on the P-40. I know. I know. ;) It was really the secondary explosions from the deck mounted rockets. Still, it was very satisfying strafing them 'til they sunk.

I don't know about you blokes but I tend to look for them on the water.

I always find this type. Two big ones, right in front of the city. Haven't seen anything different so far
