I was reading somewhere that the FIDO/acoustic torpedo was not modelled into the game by the developers because the uboat would not have a chance with it. Seems kind of stupid to me because in all reality, they usually did not have a chance when surfaced...ie, .50cals firing, rockets, DC followed by a FIDO...this all coming from one Devastater. If that didn't work then a sonorbouy was dropped until relief with more goodies to drop showed up.
The planes are pretty good in the game. We have hunter-killer groups...CVE with DD screening. We have some planes now with rockets. The radar is pretty good. Are butts are in for a really bad time as it is.
Can someone create the FIDO? I have seen some work on it but the creater had to stop for some reason. Can anyone pick up where he left off? I can't because anything beyond pushing the on/off button is out of my league:88)
You madman:D You really want to die dont you? :o I think the fido is abit too deadly, would be nice if it were optional, but i think that woud be impossible.

As I understand it both Sergebuto and Anvart are both working seperate avenues to try and develop fido along with a working torpedo flight profile the problems seem complex and many check it out.

Yes, I had seen this and hope they get them to work.....but not so well that you are dead no matter what;) . Have them arrive in the year they were developed. That does not matter to me because I usually don't get past 42

When the GWX Team solves the problems with the AI torpedoes, all your wishes will become true AVGWarhawk (Wolfpacks, FIDOs, naughty magazines in the Captain's chambers etc);) :D :D :up: just be patient and pray for the Devs to sort it out quickly;) :D

Damn it, my dirty secret with the naughty magazines in the captain bunk is out :damn: . Now Hans will know why the keys on the enigma machine are sticking:o Can the GWX team develop some naughty movies for the crew? You know, popcorn and movie night in the forward torpedo room:D
I have seen some activity here in the mod forums on all noted above:up: :up: Truly cool if they can get them to work!
Just what my crew needs, another weapon dropped from a plane right up our whazoos:o
Crikey, we've had it now. And are in for it big time if all mentioned above comes true.
Lookout Bernard.... Admiral Donitz is looking for you and is going to kick a$$. :yep:
