Sometimes the depth charging works, but it seems to be the fewer number of cases.

How do you know they "they had a 100% sure position" of you?

It could be they were low/out of ashcans. Also, I would ask are you sure they were destroyers? Minesweepers and patrol boats might appear to be DD's, but are not. If it happens again, you might take a screen shot. Otherwise, nobody can really answer your questions.

Thanks for the fast answer.

I know it was destroyers because I identified them through the periscope before trying to sneak in my target location.

Also, I play with external views active to see what happens above - just in case something strange happens.

So I actually have a screenshot. Two destroyers moved over me like this several times. First I tried to evade them, then I realized that none of them ever dropped a depth charge.

This happened again in a completely different situation. Several destroyers moving exactly over my position, obviously knowing where I am, but not attacking.

Just because he was moving over you doesn't mean he knew exactly where you were.

In any case, ASW ships have a finite number of depth charges, their 'sonar cone' limits their ability to maintain contact as they close the range. So, there are reasons why they might not have dropped, in a certain situation.

How many times did they make dry runs?

If it was a large number, it would be odd, but not knowing the details, I can't say more than that.

In my own experience, they will drop on me, if they get the chance, but I don't follow them with the external cam, so I can't say they never drop the ball, so to speak.

What is your exact mod list?

(You can copy and paste it from JSGME.)

Thanks again.

The destroyers did this several times. And after realizing they were not attacking, I even stopped evading. They moved over my position again and again for some hours, never attacking. I just waited until they were gone, it took some hours I think.

And this happened again in another situation.

My mod list is rather simple:
RFB_2.0
Nothing else.

If you haven't installed it already, there is a patch for RFB 2.0:

RFB 2.0 Patch (23 April 2010) (48.30 MB)
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=2774

Happy Hunting!

Rockin Robbins · 10-11-15, 06:12 PM

I have a consolidated mod RFB_2.0_with_Patch if anybody's interested. It was a trivial task to combine them and it just keeps the mod list simple. If anybody cares I'll post it.

TorpX · 10-17-15, 06:39 PM

It sounds like a good idea to me.

If anyone is wondering why you need the 'patch'... if you forget it, or it isn't properly enabled, you can find your S-boat takes 5 or 6 minutes to dive.

Hi everyone!

Would someone be so kind and reupload the mod to a file hosting service, since all links besides subsim ones are dead?

Rockin Robbins · 10-19-15, 07:08 AM

I'll see what I can do. I hate GameFront for their deletion policy. Any ideas where a decent place would be? That's why I use Subsim. It's actually safe and cares about preserving the mods.

However, Subsim isn't letting me upload the mod either. I seem to be lacking some kind of security certificate. I can't upload until I'm in uniform?

Now, this made me laugh!

But, jokes aside... MEGA, Google Drive ( if you have a gmail address ) or Dropbox would be nice. They don't delete files unless your account is inactive for quite a while.

Okay, my 50GB Box account won't accept a file that big. Let me see about the Google Drive. I hate to put a permanent 3/4 GB file into a 2 GB dropbox account.

Google Drive has started the upload. Hope they don't do a bait and switch, have a cap and just stop the download when I hit the cap. Stay tuned.

tomo123 · 10-19-15, 10:19 AM

Roger that. Tuned as a fiddle.

Thank you very much.

Rockin Robbins · 10-19-15, 01:53 PM

Okay, we now have a live link to my Google Drive account for RFB 2.0 with Patch. And a Subsim link as well to RFB 2.0 with Patch

When you download this and install it you do not need to install the patch. It is part of the mod here. It's crazy that it hasn't been that way all along.

tomo123 · 10-19-15, 03:14 PM

Thank you again!

But, if you want to make the file publicly available, you will have to share it without permission requests.

Here's a quick explanation:

Otherwise, you'll be spammed with file requests from people wanting to download the mod.

Berserker · 10-19-15, 04:49 PM

Just curious...But WHY are you complaining when the baddies don't drop depth charges on you??

? I would be thanking our heavenly Father to such gifts...

The little twits always find me...
