AI stop performing actions after a couple minutes.

[Hotjoe]

Started a new campaign (OH) in Mamel. Sank a merchant and sailed to some port a few km's NW of danzig (forget the name but its on the bay) and there was a german capitol ship and a couple DD's sitting off the coast with their guns trained at the port but not firing. I sailed towards the coast past the ships and decided I had to save the game and leave.

WELL when I loaded it back up the ships were all of a sudden firing over my head, shelling the port! (pretty cool actually, immersive) so I high tailed it out of there back towards the ships but within 2 minutes they all stopped firing. Thought this was odd. So I saved the game and re loaded and they were firing again :06:. Then same thing, a minute or so later they stopped firing. What might be causing this? It seems similar to the "Super DD" bug fix where they wont stop stalking you unless you save and reload the game again.

Wasnt sure which thread to post this in so I posted my own. Assuming it has something to do with IRAI or the OH campaign. Heres my mod list:

I think I know what goes on: some German guns have sharshells in their ordnance loadout but for some reason, once they fire a starshell salvo, they get stuck at maximum elevation. Might be a stock bug, or one induced by IRAI. Until TDW looks into it, the one fix is removing starshells from their ammunition loadout.

[plj]

Nope .. no starshell issue here.

What happned is this:

You went there, and by the time you got to the port, the little coastal boat was shelled to death by them. Doesnt take more then a few shots either. The ships WONT fire on docked ships.

You saved, and reloaded .. and the coastal boat gets spawned again .. shelled to the bottom, and the ships have no target again and sit there.

aha! that makes sense now that I think about it, cause I sent that little boat to the bottom with my flak gun each time. But if I remember correctly when I first got there the little boat was still there sailing around and the ships werent firing. :hmmm:

I'll check if I remembered correct .. if I get a chance .. perhaps I'm wrong, and they do attack docked merchants, and they kill off those when their not saved damage is no longer applied.

This is a hidden cheat as well .. go to a harbor, shoot up the ships that are docked till you have their tonnage registered, save, load, repeat. Kinda dumb how damage is saved .. needs a mod imho.

Yep thats actually what I would do to sort of "skip over" the baltic mission and move onto Kiel. Sink 2 ships docked at Danzig and I have my tonnage. Does seem kinda silly doesnt it.
