What do you think? Wouldn't that make the mod easier and keep station keeping in convoys good? Might be the key just to simplify and only affect DE and smaller warships.
Every once in awhile I have a brain fart and it comes out okay.....  |
That just might be the right thing to do. As your video's showed, the Merchants convoy get's hay wired just on their own accord.....without any help from a subs detection. Must be the differences between each ships capabilities/performance that puts the convoy into a dither with itself. If just the Escorts, Destroyers, some of the Light Cruisers were to have a performance hit,
that COULD take care of the worst of the performance issues.
=====================
This morning I took another look at the two videos. What struck me was the fact both videos had the same ship (it looked like a Kiturin Passenger ship "Modern Passenger Liner") getting out of line before anyone else. It's the second ship in-line, in the center column. Seems there are others going to do the same as time passes, but the Kiturin is one of the earlier ships not wanting to stay in station. There was a couple others, back in the pack doing the same thing, I just couldn't tell which they were. Is the Kiturin back in the convoy at another position....or is the convoy entirely made up of different ships?
To me, this means the Kiturin may have a specific problem with what was changed (if anything) to its files. What that something is? I don't know. Does the Stock game have the same behavior as these two mods when added to the same convoy make-up? Just wondering. I might be speaking out of turn, but if the same ship(s) seems to be the one breaking out of column all on its own, maybe this ship needs to have it's .sim file re adjusted.
