Did anyone noticed this ?

I did some missions and encountered something odd: the war battleships CANNOT fire a single shot! I was on surface , after eliminating the escort (the escort destroyers acted odd too , because after one hit taken , they turned the back on me like nothing happened and go to their business forgetting to fire at me even I was on surface with my U Boat), with two Kent class heavy cruisers and one light cruiser and "they" were "looking" at me standing there and doing nothing until I shot them down one by one.Am I missing something or is that the limitation of the script ? Sillt , isn't it ?

I noticed , though, in some YOUTUBE films that battleships , still, fire....so I don't get it...does it work in multiplayer but in career mod doesn't ? Odd , isn't it ?
Could someone explain that to me ?

What was your range to the ships? since the AI vessels dont fire their main weapons from 6km or longer range, it is a stock issue wich i kinda fixed for the Fubuki DD mod.
You can alter that file where the battleships etc fire their main weaponry in the data/cfg/sim.cfg file.

Hope it helps.

The heavy cruisers were close to me 2-3 km tops ! But as an update I played another mission today where I chased, especially, a task force and thistime the battleships fired at me but not with big guns , but they did....so....it has to be something wrong in that earlier mission.Thanks anyway for your input mate!

Well I really, now, think there was a bug (or something) because yesterday I played another mission and I stalked a task force (13 ships, 4 big cruisers) and I sunk most of them .One , "New Mexico" a heavy cruiser was just badly damaged but didn't sunk.The sunset was coming and I had to go surface somehow to reload the torpedoes so I head north for 4 km and stopped there under the night cover and reloaded.Meanwhile it was a short battle near the damaged cruisers (there were still 4 heavy destroyers "alive") because I called for help "cavalery" ( a two destroyers team) but they got busted quickly.There were two or four aircraft but they were shot down fast (I don't know where they came from

).However in the morning with all tubes full I headed south to the damaged cruisers but approached carefully. I fired two torpedoes from 2,5 km but they "rebalanced" the cruiser....lol and I tried to shoot with the gun deck.When I did that the big guns turned to me very slowly.I was waiting to see if they fire.Guess what...THEY DID!!! The triple heavy guns fire in a slow rate but they...FIRE.I had to reload the game because two rounds of cruiser's heavy guns knocked me down....lol
So I guess this thread is close folks...
