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 ?:damn:

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:doh: ).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...
