I'm attempting to reconfigure the MGB (Motor Gun Boat) as a mortar boat, to simulate targeted shore bombardment from a friendly destroyer.
Intriguingly, changing the animation and sound settings in squads.csv has no effect on the animation actions of the MGB or the Fairmile B. Does BA ignore squads.csv and pick up everything from MGB.TXT instead? Or from somewhere else?
If I want to change the fire sound/animation to something more appropriate for mortar fire, should I just delete the [FIRE00] and [MGFIRE00] code, and replace with the [BOMBARD00] code from say, French mortar? All attached below.
How do I enable this new mortar boat to be able to take more than one bombard shot per turn?
Is there a way to enhance the effect of the bombardment (to twice as powerful as a regular mortar)?
Thanks!
