newbie question:ships don't explode
Hi, I'm very newbie in sub sim.
I wonder why when I shot any weapon, no ship explodes ... the weapon crosses the ship without sinking it ... thanks for your patience. O |

For missiles, if the weapon is passing over the target, either your seeker enable distance is set to far out, or the missile has been decoyed by chaff/flares. Also if your running RA mod, it seems like some of the missiles sometimes don't work properly.
For torpedos, once again verify that you have set your enable distance so that the torpedo enables at least some distance before the target. Also verify that your ceiling setting is as shallow as possible. Lastly, make sure that your torpedo depth is set to less than 10M (or whatever that is in feet, as you can tell I only play Russian subs) so activate surface attack mode and wake homing in Russian torps.

Another thing on your torpedo settings. If you set depth limit and he goes below (or above it) the torpedo will never acquire the target cos it can't get to targets depth

Good Hunting!

Also, if truth is not on, then the ship's solution that you're shooting at could be incorrect if the things mentioned in the previous posts have been checked.

You didn't specify, but its best to learn the game by playing DW "stock" before you jump into the Reinforce Alert (RA) mod.
RA brings a much larger amount of player and AI ships plus more complexity to your weapons and their targeting. Get some experience with DW's single missions and maybe a campaign, then move up to the RA mod. |

Thanks everybody for answering.
I am not playing with RA mod, just trying simple things while I am reading g the manual. Thanks for you help. According with your experience what are the steps to follow for a better learning in order to play properly and enjoy the simulation without wasting time? |
