In RFB the doors will close on their own with the S-Boat anyway. It has happened to me several times. Part of my process is soon as I ID the target I open doors & set fish running depth so I don't forget it when things speed up. On a few occasions because of excessive time maneuvering for a better firing position when I click fire the doors are closed again (in RFB with the S-Boat anyway the doors will not automatically open when you press fire).

One question; Dud torpedoes on or off? A lot of people don't realize that the dud torpedoes setting also controls gyro problems, and my experiments with duds on shows that (1) The gyro problems subroutine (in \Library\Torpedoes_US.sim) is set for a 0.3% chance of a 50 degree course deviation so it's either no deviation or exactly 50 degrees, and always toward the stern of the target, and (2) the random chance has a tendency to turn on and stay on so when that 0.3% chance kicks on it applies to most or all during that attack, so if you get a dud, circle runner, gyro 50 degree deviation, or whatever it's about 99% you'll have the same problem with all the fish fired during that attack.
That's why I play with duds OFF, the programming is screwed up. |

This was a Balao.
Duds are on, but the run was only a degree or so off. And it seemed to persist for the rest of the patrol

Never tried RSRDC or NMMO, tried OTC once but never looked into exactly what was modded. Possibly the default 50 degree deviation was altered in one of those. I would try it with duds off and see if that fixes it.
Off topic, Longknife I love your siggy but for one thing; THERE = a location that is not HERE. THEIR = possessive, belonging to "them". THEY'RE is a contraction of THEY ARE. "Never argue with an idiot. First they drag you down to their level, then they beat you with experience." |
