Again, its ELCO, not Ecko. Short for ELectric boat COmpany, who also made submarines.

And they only had depth-charge racks on the rear sides, replacing the aft torpedo tubes. As for planes dropping torpedoes, no AI unit in the game can shoot torpedoes. That's Why GWX wolfpack subs are surfaced and use deck guns.

[Madox58]

I do hope your not holding your breath
waiting for AI Torpedoes.

Everyone and his Mother-in-Law has attempted them.

Nobody has a truely good solution.
So nobody releases thier work.

And before you ask for them?
Diveing AI Subs are another 'Holy Grail'

I can make them dive and re-surface.
But there are problems that I've not been able to resolve.
So no release.

the DC Racks on torpedo boats was only used in the
Pacific from what I understand.

Now I Know What Sailor Steve is taking About ~ [And they only had depth-charge racks on the rear sides] as Sail steve posted~ I Saw Pics of them on the Stern Rear Side

I Wish U Could Post Pic Because I Took Some of The PT Boat WithThe BOW Launcher With Very Small Shelled Depth Charges Being Fired

P.S. Is there A Way I Could Post The MOD I Have ~ So U Can C That The PT Boat Racks Are on The Front of The Boat ~N~ They Work Real Good With Improved U-Boat Supermod SSIII

[Grim Reaper]

I Finally Found Out what the rack is called ~ It is called a HEDGEHOG Anti-Submarine Mortar
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/33/Hedgehog_anti-submarine_mortar.jpg

I only had time to look in SSIII Museum for what I have be Posting All these Thread about

They Also had them on American ~N~ British Warships like ~ Captain Class I and II ~N~ Colony Class ~ WarShip [They Also put them on The BOW of American ~N~ British PT Elco Torpedo Boat]

FINALLY ~ at least now I Know what they are called ~ HEDGEHOG Anti-Submarine Motar ~ I now can get's some sleep

Crash Diving for a while

[Madox58]

I can find no evedence that Hedge Hogs were ever used on Elco's.
Experimental Rocket Launchers,
and Automatic Cannons,
I found.
:hmm:
(Hanomag probably won't like that!)
:rotfl:
but not Hedge Hogs.

[Philipp_Thomsen]

I can make them dive and re-surface.
But there are problems that I've not been able to resolve.
So no release.


Can I ask why? :hmm:

My eyes are bad, too, and getting worse. Sorry about your accident.

I agree with Privateer, though: I have never seen a picture of a hedgehog on a PT boat either.

[Madox58]

Can I ask why? :hmm:


Cause they create trouble in Game.
I haven't worked on them in around a year.
But I do have several thoughts to fix some of the problems.
And then there's the AI Torpedo problem.

No AI Torpedos,
why make the sub dive?

To avoyd the return fire from the ships? :hmm:

Isn't there a way to fix them to fire the deckgun only if not under threat, and dive if being fired at?

It's kinda weird seeing them take fire and do nothing about it.

I'm not sure if I remember correctly, but didn't Racerbody made a mod where ships could fire torpedos? Is there a way to make the subs fire torpedos?

And the problems you speak about, are they CTDs?

:up:

[Madox58]

RB did Torps that traveled at speeds that are WAY beyound realistic.
They also suffered the problem of only traveling in certian directions.

Common problems.

The AI Diveing Subs do not cause CTDs.

But suffer from being classed as AI Ships.
If they dive?

The bounding Box the Game sees is still a surfaced unit.
All Hell breaks lose near Convoys!!

And within moments?
The Convoy hits a Friendly unit.
You know what happens then.
The Friendlies are no longer Friendlies!
Now the Convoy sinks itself!!

Now,
I can use standard Subs files which use the AI Merchant controller
for scripting them surfaced in Missions.

But I have not tested if they suffer the loss of movement as Standard
Subs do when scripted underwater in a Mission.

As I said,
I have had no time in nearly a year to devote to them.
Other things that have become reality took thier place.

The only person to actually get a copy of the first files
could not grasp the concept.

The second person agreed it was a valid and great approach.
But agreed that some of the problems
would take more time then we had to devote to them.

[Grim Reaper]

I wish that Radio Room would let use post pics So I could show That there is a Mod With Elco PT Torpedo Boats on the BOW Hedgehog Anti-Sub Mortars That I Have Installed With The Improved U-Baot SuperMod SSIII Sims

Thx U Again For Answering This Post of ~ The Grim Reaper

[Madox58]

I respect what you had to go through.
I respect what you now have to live with and beyound.
But your pushing me just a bit.
I have ridden my whole life.
And I'm 51 years old.
I've been downed a few times.
And I expect that for all who ride.
Death is around the corner for all.
Not just Bikers.
Ask nicely and drop the heavy hand Mate.
Your starting to Creep me out.
And I highly doubt you'll be the one there when I cash out,

[Philipp_Thomsen]

You're 51??? :o

Holy crap! You look a lot younger then that... congratulations! :yep:

I'm thinking about buying myself a ride. I don't have a car or a bike, and with today's traffic, bikes are a lil more interesting.

As a biker, that "had ridden the whole life", what do you recommend? :hmm:

:up:

About the mod, I didn't know it caused that much bugs. Shame really.:nope:
Let's hope they make a good job at SH5 this time.
Speaking of which, do GWX team plan to ever move to modding SH5 one day?
If SH5 is lauched in, let's say (just a supposition), January, and it's a hell better then SH4, and it's all about atlantic campaign, wouldn't be better do just drop the ball on SH4 and move to SH5? :hmm:

Anyone can post pictures here. Privateers earlier comment (and mine) was asking for pictures of real-life PT boats with hedgehogs. I'm not aware of any that ever had them. As for depth-charges, as I said before they got them later in the war for the purpose of discouraging destroyers from chasing them, and as far as I know that was only in the Pacific.

Subsim is a home page for submarine war-game reviews, and submarine discussion. May I redirect you there (http://www.deathclock.com/), Mr Grim reaper ? :-?

[Philipp_Thomsen]

Just some info for you, Mr Reaper, before you leave for good.

Is there Devil? Or God? Can our lifes get influenced or changed by those?

It all depends on people's beliefs. If a lot of people believe in devil, devil's power increases.

Nobody here believes in you. You're powerless here. You're dead here.

Immortality? lol... sure... any moderator can kill you with a couple of clicks in the mouse.

Goodbye.

True, and that's been a complaint for some time. However, just because they had something the game doesn't is not a reason to add something that didn't exist in real life.

In The First Place Why Didn't U Post the Link To PhotoBucket if Thats What U Use in Real Life??? ~ sailor steve
Because I didn't think of it. Besides, you could have right-clicked on the image and then clicked 'Properties', and you would have seen right where the image was stored.

This Is JUST A Sub Sim ~ Whats The Matter ~ U Afraid of PT Boats W/Hedgehogs Aboard ~ sailor steve
I'm not afraid of them, I just put the emphasis on the word sim. I want it to feel like the real thing. You're free to create whatever you want - just don't be surprised if people comment on it.

I'll agree with others on your last comments. I'm not above the ocassional joke or prank, but your last comments are more childish than anything.

That said, it looks like you did a good job of modelling them.:sunny:

Grim, I must say your replies stemming from other users on Subsim's replies made you appear very hostile, threatening, or just downright wacko. I wouldn't insult Sailor Steve to save my life...
Also, I think you fail to realise that Forrest Gump may have been mentally handicapped, but he had common sense.

May I respectfully request that you try modding for yourself. It gives you a better sense of how the game works, and an even greater appreciation of the people who spend hours even days on end making the game more enjoyable for everyone.

Now, by some higher power, may this thread be closed.
