Ships exploding after 1 hit..

[fastfed]

Did I mess up the install of something??

Running TMO/RSRD/OTC

It seems every time just 1 torp (20% of the time it takes 2) hits the ship, about 5 seconds later, a major explosion as if c4 was planted throughout the ship and she breaks into 2.

EVERY SINGLE TIME.

Kind of annoying to be honest.

Sounds like you're just running into a lot of ships that are carrying ammo or fuel, which causes a larger than normal explosion. If it's every ship, then something is off. Several of the merchants carry an inner and outer cargo, if one has ammo crates and fuel, you'll get a mass explosion and one torp will always sink them.

Just know for these loaded ships, the blast range is greatly increased, don't get too close. I've hit a loaded ship and the resulting explosion explodes another loaded ship nearby, which explodes another. I've sunk up to 8 ships this way. The problem is you only get credit for the one you hit with the torp. Course I know what the cargo loadout looks like, if I see a ship loaded with ammo, I'll try to time it when an escort or two is near it and hope when I explode the merchant I'll rid myself of a few escorts.

Like this. I timed when I thought the escort would be close, blew up loaded merchant which blew up the pesky escort. One torp, two kills.:yeah:

Yea something is wrong..

Airplanes aren't even attacking me.. Flying directly over me and they continue on.

WTF could it be?

Never had this problem before

I thought I would weigh in because as you can see, I use the same mods. I am not experiencing those results. Unfortunately that's all the help I can provide. Someone more experience than me can help you. Good luck.

Sounds like your game has it's switch stuck on "Arcade Mode".

[Sorry, I couldn't resist. :D]

When / How did you make your last mod changes?

I was using TMO/OTC

I wanted RSRD, so I took out OTC and put in RSRD in the proper order.
RSRD is working, no doubt, just seems funny right now, planes flying over me., not attacking, ships getting cut in half, and exploding with tnt

[fastfed]

uninstalling and reinstallin everything..

[Armistead]

Just remember with RSRD many of the ships are loaded with ammo and fuel, a lot of them in the larger convoys and invasion forces. If you use external cam, try looking at some of the cargo during the mass big explosions, if you hit one loaded with ammo and fuel, explosion is much larger.

Dude.. I officially entered the Twilight Zone!!!

I just uninstalled everything, reinstalled, loaded the game to make sure no glitches with stock 1.5

Redid my mods.

planes just flying over me.. W T F!! lol this is insane!!

just suck a Buzyun and Zinbu, both 1 shot, massive explosion, lol

how is this possible, something is wrong

Submitted for you approval...
Load each mod one at a time starting with TMO to determine where everything...including you...becomes unhinged. :/\\!!

I understand Armistead's point about the ammo cargo on the ships but I am depending on your experience to identify an issue with the "fly-bys".

Yea, I've been playing SH series from the beginnings, I have installed every mod possible (most of them) since SH2 days.

That said, I've played enough with the mods i'm running to know something is wrong.

The ammo crates thing, I'm unaware of to be honest, but enemy planes no longer spotting me, while they are flying right above me, mission after mission, something isn't right, lol

[Father Goose]

I'm sorry I did not make myself clear. Could be too much drinking. :Kaleun_Cheers:

In attempting to troubleshoot, I was suggesting loading through JSGME just TMO and playing to watch the planes. Then back out and add RSRDC and play to watch the planes. OTC, etc.

Maybe a better question, could the copy of one of your mods be corrupt? :arrgh!:

[TorpX]

Agreed.

Yes, but did you do it while on patrol?

[fastfed]

Agreed.

give me SOME credit, lol

I actually started an entire new career..

Didn't work, so in my second or third post in this thread, I said I was unsintalling the entire game and re-installing.. which I did.. Planes still fly over me, I think I even see the japs waving at me. :88)

[Armistead]

Was that with stock?

Did you delete everything, mods, mods folder, jsgme, everything...{Not talking about you zipped mods where ever you put them, outside the game I hope.

Only mods that makes planes just fly over you is Travs shadow planes in his mod.

Can you use the external view...any chance your sub is pink? :rotfl2:

Oops, Sorry. :)

You have to admit, though, it is an very odd problem.

If that were the case, his problem would be sinking trucks. :har:

Starting with the single shot, ship explosion. RSRDC made a lot of its cargo ships carry ammunition, fuel....after all the Japs didn't need to carry pineapples to the troops. So, finding cargo ships that explode with one shot isn't too far out of the question. Lurker took great pains in making his campaign ship routes and ship consists as accurate as possible, I'm suspecting this is what you're seeing. The only other plausible possibility is that your using the magnetic settings on the torpedoes. With a torpedo running just below a targets keel you'll get a boost in "hit power" when set to magnetic detonation. A single torpedo's capabilities can be increased by using the magnetic setting (when everything else is right).

Regarding the plane flyovers. RSRDC and TMO added several different planes to the possible units playable. RSRDC added several more than TMO. It could be these RSRDC planes don't have the same capabilities that TMO is noted for. Without knowing which planes "just fly over", there's no way of telling what capabilities they have compared to others. Without you being able to identify what planes are flying over my first thought......are they allied planes? I'm willing to give you credit that you know they were axis planes.......but are they? Got to be specific around here if you want specific help. :O:

Since your using OTC, why don't you add the Tokko's Revenge optional mod to your list. All planes will get a boost in capabilities and hit power......you may end up wishing you had a "flyover" after adding Tokko's Revenge!

[Armistead]

Yea, load Tokyo's Revenge mod.....hahahahahaha......

[Father Goose]

If that were the case, his problem would be sinking trucks. :har:

Good point! I forgot all about that. :har:

[Armistead]

It could also mean he has a lot of gals on his sub effecting his duties. Or, he could just be dumb...:D
