Hi,

in FMB you have the option to place small or large Vehicles Columns in your map. I miss this for ship convois. At the moment a mission builder must place each ship manually to create a convoi.
This cost time and sometimes it is tricky.

Life for all mission builder will become easier with such a mod.

Here are some examples:

Carrier group small: 1 Carrier, 1 Cruiser, 2 Destroyer, 1 Tanker, 2 Freighter for US, Japan and GB
Carrier group big: 3 Carrier, 1 Battleship 2 Cruiser, 6 Destroyer, 3 Tanker, 6 Freighter for US, Japan
Battleship group: 1 Battleship Cruiser, 2 Destroyer, 1 Tanker, 1 Freighter for US, Japan, GB, Russia and Germany
Supply convoi 1 20 ships: 2 Destroyer, 2 Corvettes, 2 Tanker, 2 Trooptransporter, Rest normal Freighter
Supply convoi 2 15 ships: 1 Destroyer, 1 Corvettes, 2 Tanker, 2 Trooptransporter, Rest normal Freighter
Supply convoi 3 10 ships: 2 Corvettes, 1 Tanker, 1 Trooptransporter, Rest normal Freighter

The supply convois for US, Japan, GB, Russia and Germany.

Important is, that the firerate of AA-Gun can be manage.


The other idea is the same for planes, especially for bombers. But here the mission builder can choose the plane, a formation type and the quantity of planes to a maximum of 16, 20 or 24.

All mods for Versions: HSFX 7.03, Stock 4.12.2, BAT

Best regards

Good idea, thanks for making it.

Yes, as a campaign builder i agree - this is good idea. In pacific will be great, to get generic USN TG, with 2 large CV's, 2 or 3 CVL, 2 CA and 10-15 DD's. And of course, with generic convoys of various size work on campaigns can be very simple.
But... is there someone, who have enough time, to create this?)) I don't think so

In theory a convoy of vehicles ( Tanks/Truck mix)  is similar to a convoy of ships (Destroyer/Freighter mix) , so it should be possible to adapt the current convoy code to achieve this...... albeit all travelling in a single line  .... but then, what do I know, I am just a 3d guy ...

Well, travelling in a single line looks not like a ship convoi, only for a small one with 3, 4  or 5 ships.
I think there must be traveling parallel in 3 or 4 rows for example.

Well, I think you miss understood, I'm not a modder, its my request and I hope here is somebody who can realize that.

My opinion: it is not possible to do this kind of thing for ships ... otherwise it has been a long time since this Mod would exist!

For bomber... already exist... but for 4.09 only... with Frog_Formation_Mod !

A good start might be to look at Mission Mate 6, by Crazy Schmidt, http://www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=Downloads3&file=details&id=4

This had a good interface for setting up ship formations.

Development stopped in 2010 but it might be worth making contact with CS. 

Adding new maps to it was apparently not easy. It all needed coding. But it was certainly possible to add new aircraft.

IL-2 1946's vehicles have each own AI decision what to do now .... go straight? stop? turn? bypass broken forward car?

But ships doesn't have such AI code.

Well, it may be right what you say. Otherwise no one has thought of this mod yet.

For bomber... already exist... but for 4.09 only... with Frog_Formation_Mod !

Very sad, that this mod has not been further developed.

I have searched of this but not found a download.
