Support Fire for Arty and Counter Attack for Vessels

Post by Acer6920 »

gents i need again your expertise for modding.

i play a bit around and was able to activate support AA (just an example) for all Naval Vessels now i want to do same for arty (like the Support AT option) when it is behind my units that they attack or give some defense fire . Is this possible for arty in OoB:WW2? i try it in the txt file with adding supportarty but this is not enough i think :lol: . i look for a file where i can add this command but i wasn't able to found something.
Was thinkig about to add for arty up to 105mm the option to give firesupport when inf is attacking inf and for the 150mm the option for support fire when tanks are attacking something like this like in Panzer Corps 2 and for the BFG Arty with range of 7 or 8 something like counter fire for other arty guns?

and second thing is is it possible to give vessels the option to do counter attack?
There was a similar question here but with no final solution.

Thanks gents and lads for your input and help.

Back in the day naval vessels would counter-attack, but this was removed at one point.
I miss it. Maybe the devs could add the original behaviour as an option for modding?

I tried to mod this in extensively, but I had to give up. There is no way to add it as far as I know.

Same for the ships: I really really don't like that ships don't return fire: it makes naval combat somewhat of a rocket tag where you can (and must) nova a target with all you got to remove it without it ever firing back, thus eliminating any risk for reckless behavior (since you also moved in to attack, the enemy will have an harder time hitting you).

Why was it necessary to remove the return fire function ? :shock:
