Topless AI sub

[nelson]

I was going out on patrol when I passed an AI sub coming in, and noticed it had no conning tower or deck gun, it looked just like the one being built on the dockside. Is this a bug or has it lost it's entire top in battle?? Over to you chaps and chappesses :-?

Subs gone WILD!!!

But no I have never seen a sub "missing" any parts before - what mods/version you running?

:lurk:

[kiwi_2005]

No it aint a bug, some kapitans became very paraniod about been spotted while on the surface. You happened to just meet one coming back from patrol.

[Marhkimov]

you probably should update your harbor traffic... are you at 1.46?

if you are, then try installing it again...

[nelson]

Thanks everyone, I'm using HT 1.46, I'll try re-installing it.
Cheers :)

BdU told him to "Be More Agressive." He did and that was the result. :o

In case, it is a real bug and not the result of bad install, It is important to provide info on the type of the sub and timeframe/date when this happened.

:) Ya, I've loaded up a mission before and been missing the deck cannon and flak guns. It just means you have to score direct hits with your torps if you want to score at all. I've found this to be the case when the game was loaded up the first time after my PC was completely shut down. Also I've had loading problems with the crew. For example, I would only get 1 machinist and 5 not 6 torpedo loaders or no sound man at all. This has happened a few times and I always pick a veteran crew.

I thought it was Nessie at first.
I'm using HT 1.46, AI sub, RUB 1.44, driving a V11C out of Brest

and I supose that during this "agressivnes", the boat colided with a battleship's keel... and there goes the conning tower... :rotfl:

Maybe it's a simple case of the captain having vertigo. :hmm:

Can you tell what type the AI sub had because it is difficult to see in the screenshot? Is it VIIB or VIIC? Take a look at railing and other details of the hull which are different between the two. When (what month and year) saw you that AI sub? This is important for the identification of the conning tower type it was supposed to have.

I was clearly misled by the topic!

I would say it's definately a V11C and it was october 1941, on a saturday, about tea time. :)

I suggest having the crime lab analyze those tea leaves. :|\

The captain wait too long at periscope depth loking the destroyer.

could be interesting see the destroyer screenshot arriving at a dry dock

Another screenshot AFTER re-installing HT 1.46 and AI Uboats v2.0

Do they clash? do I only need one installed?

You should only be installing one...

You probably should go with HT1.46 ONLY.

Cheers Markimov, done it!!!

Thanks everyone for your help.

While we're on about the Harbour Traffic mod, is there any way it can be randomised so I don't get exactly the same ships doing exactly the same thing when I leave port? Don't get me wrong, it's a fantastic achievement and 100% better than feeling you're the only boat in the whole german navy, but it does get a bit same-same after a few missions.

Never mind the tea leaves, try the mushrooms. :rock:

[kholemann]

So, maybe they only had enough renown to get the conning tower painted with the new invisable paint! Maybe had we wolves been doing our jobs better and denied the allies the power to drop bombs on the invisiable paint factory then they coulda painted the entire boat.

[bookworm_020]

Maybe its a Eboat on Steroids??

A low profile sub :hmm: Does this mean you can get closer before they spot you. It would help on some missions.

[nelson]

surprised no one ever thought about it, bit of a give-away really, a conning tower ;)
