GWX Land Units don't work!

[Reece]

Just been in & out of some English Harbours, on the surface, and the land units do nothing, they are manned but must be on drugs or something!:-? Looking through binoculars they crosshairs don't even change red, absolutely no threat!
Is this correct?:cry:

[Rubini]

Do you tried to get closer a land unit on enemy harbour?
They should fire at you when you are at the proper distance.

IIRC, they are now environmental units type = 408 (to avoid that old camera bug) but they yet will fire at you. But your crew will not say "land unit detected sir" anymore. This is also good. You need to be twice as carefull when enter a enemy harbour now.

Let me know if you find any other problem or if they are shooting at you or not.:hmm:

Rubini.

[Rubini]

BBW just post a email to me with a pic of a land unit shooting him at night. He said me that he was 1km away. The short distance is because was night and also a stock limitation.;)
So, they work.

Reece, let us know if you have any problems yet.

Damn thing near destroyed my boat

I was close to it before it opened up but it carried on shooting as I sailed away from it
Couldnt submerge - mines and subnets :damn:

That was a small bunker though
Not sure how much further the larger ones will open up on you

[Reece]

Where?:-?

[bigboywooly]

One of the Baltic ports in 44

[The Munster]

Yes BBW, that's what happened to me as well, or something ;)

[bigboywooly]

Or something ?

:rotfl:

[Jimbuna]

Or something ?

:rotfl:

He got his arse kicked :rotfl: :up:

[bigboywooly]

Ah I see
Cant find the pic I took now and MSN is down so cant get to the email I sent Rubini

They certainly do some damage

[Reece]

Yes I will have to try getting closer, as I said I went to Dundee, from the beginning to the end of the channel in broad daylight through the center & not one gun fired at me, not even any aircraft! come to think of it, I haven't seen any dolphins in GWX either, must be mating season or something!:lol:

Do we know what weapon system/calibre these bunkers are using ? This may have an outcome of effective ranges and when they are able to engage, or it might be a visual distance thingy. Direct fire onto a U-Boat......ouch ! :eek:

[bigboywooly]

The small bunkers use a 4.7" single
The medium uses an 8" double and the large a 15" double :o

EDIT

Will install bigger guns and run some trials

It wont be pretty
LMAO

Yea saw that and went WHAT THE ????? must post post post, ahhh thats better.:rotfl:

[Venatore]

Nah it weren't pretty

How much damage did you sustain from that encounter ? that is one awsome picture.:o

[bigboywooly]

I took some damage and went as deep as I could
Heavy flooding in bow and forward compartment
Blew ballast as taking damage on the floor
Took that hit then another couple and Uboat destroyed

:rotfl:

That was at Dundee

May have made the guns too big in that test lol

[Rubini]

I tried a bit more tests after Reece first post and they work well, spotting me between 3.5 to 5km away (medium banker) and starting to shoot me after few seconds. I tried to make them 'elite'; this makes them very dangerous but don´t happens on the detection distance.

I also put on them a radar and then they start to detect me 10-12 km away but again just start to fire when I was 5km closer.
I look at the Guns.sim to see if the guns ranges were ok and they are ok.
I also put them in a high without any important better distance detection...:-?

But I can´t understand how you, Reece, could pass in that cannel without detection!!?? (it´s only ~2km large or less)

Any ideas? Any more feedback?

@Reece: the dolphins (and icebergs) are there...but dolphins aren´t now on easy places...you will listen them eventually on hydrophones, all over the world, and then you can follow them with the 'next camera' feature.
I offer a buttle of my best vine for the first who find them middle somewhere!:arrgh!:

Cheers,

Rubini.

Edited: nice try BBW! LOL

[JCWolf]

Yep I agree with Venatore, that's a a awesome Screenshote...:up:

[bigboywooly]

lol cheers mate

Mind you that small bunker had 6"doubles instead of the 4.7" single :o

[JScones]

Reece, you seem to be having a lot of problems with your install. :hmm: IIRC you have highly modified it? Could your modifications be contributing to your problems? Have other mods you've installed possibly overwritten the core GWX files?

Just an observation mate. :)

[Reece]

That is what I fear Jaesen, but what files am I looking for, Rubini mentioned Guns.sim, I will see if any of my mods change this?:yep:
Thanks.
