works fine for me with TMO as long as i install TMO first

I installed it after TMO as well but still was getting a lot of crashes.

Mine works fine now with the new version

Now she looks sweet even when sinking

If you fancy some cruiser action I've posted a River Plate mission on SH4 Mission Designer's forum.

*sigh*

I was brought back down to earth so to speak....

I had been trolling off the eastern coast of sth africa sinking lots of merchant ships at random (they weren't escorted!) and I wanted a bit more of a challenge. anyway, so I get a report of a task force steaming out of sri lanka I think it is...

lo and behold I finally manage to track it down (thinking 'hmmm, a couple of pesky DD's and maybe a cruiser and then hopefully a carrier or two) only to find

:

- about 5 battleships
- 3 cruisers
- about 5 or so DDs (thats all I saw).

the DD's did quite a lot of damage before I sank them all only to be slaughtered by the BBs at about 8000 yards....omg.....

maybe next time I'll stick to raiding.

@horsa

I tried Your River Plate Mission.Nice,but the Spee is the Winner...

Rolf

horsa · 04-29-08, 05:58 AM

Heh

.... not always ...... in SH4 it seems very variable ...... although realistically the Spee shouldn't win this one.

British propoganda made out this was a great victory of three "little" cruisers against the "mighty" Graf Spee. I've re-enacted this one in Fighting Steel and DC and the Spee always loses if she fights to the death. At the end of the day she was actually only a cruiser (albeit with 11 inch guns) and couldn't afford "fleet" actions.

As to SH4 I'm wondering how realistic we can get the values for these wonderful surface ships ??? ... crucially, is it possible to balance range, armour and hitting power ???

:hmm: :hmm:

:

- about 5 battleships
- 3 cruisers
- about 5 or so DDs (thats all I saw)."

I ran into a similar taskforce, 1 South dakota, 1 Colorado, New mexico, Fleet carrier, 2 Northamptons, Baltimore and about dozen DDs. Took some time to home in those shells at the DDs but after got all those out of the way, went to engage the BBs and hit most of them to 2nd front turret, causing them to "explode" by magazine hit. After the BBs we're done, Fleet carrier went down nicely with 2 salvos to middle sections on the waterline.

CAs did some evasives but they went down after 3 salvos both ^^

Return to base, amount of tonnage sunk: 157925 tons of warships, and a Knight's cross to the chest.

Thank god it was night and slightly foggy, so they we'rent able to see me.. (i got my "aggro" adjusted to 13km, while my gunners can lock up to 15km range.

The End of the Graf Spee...

linerkiller · 04-29-08, 08:08 AM

wow...i cant wait to try it

!
Please..make also a TMO-OM compatible version...

bratwurstdimsum · 04-29-08, 08:16 AM

Well I created my own game and pitted an American task force against the Graf Spee.

3 heavy cruisers, 3 destroyers and 2 aircraft carriers. the Pocket Battleship won hands down.

I love this game but we got to start getting damage going, its getting too easy!

0% hull damage throughout despite some choice hits in the mid section and the crane and seaplane falling into the sea. No malfunctions or destroyed systems either.

Also some holes in the side of the ship to show the hits would be perfect

I had to delete the 3d damage, because there where purple texture bugs

And I can not make a ship game out of a hardcoded submarine game
