Either the mod is not installed correctly, the plane has no guns or loadout, or the plane is out of ammo. Those would be the only reasons a plane wouldn't attack you with IRAI.

Made it into scapa for the raid , sunk a battleship . No problems at all . waited till night and cruised on surface when i could . Went to decks awash when torpedo boats were close . Decided to try to escape thru the historical route :roll:

I'm up to November 28, 1939 in the first camapign and no aircraft have attacked up to and including this date. I'm headed west out of the Channel and just encountered a dozen Swordfish, and they didn't even blink an eye as us on the surface. Reason... no ordinance that I could see on the outbound or inbound aircraft.

I too did this mission yesterday and was suprised how easy it was to escape. Shouldn't all hell break loose once the Battleship (afterall, a major asset) went up like a Roman Candle? It was the dead of night (I'd never make a run like that in broad daylight :o) and I figured it would take sleeping crews time to react, but still. I'd atleast expect to see every searchlight in the vicinity to come on and torp boats to rush to the scene.

I notice you have crosshairs in this screenshot. With the Mods you should be using, they shouldn't be there, unless you specifically chose to keep them.

I was sorry to hear about the 833 men though :nope:

Who said computer games can't be educational? That Battle of Jutland was a hell of a thing! :o

Which reminds me, there should be more historic wrecks in this game. The ones seen at Pearl, in Wolves of the Pacific, added great atmosphere.

General, yeah I kept the crosshairs. This view is with the binoculars.

Well, to be fair, I started a new Campaign yesterday and no aircraft have turned towards me yet either. I have only seen them at night, but I was within their visual range.:hmm2:

Were you surfaced or decks awash :hmmm:

Fully surfaced. I am playing right now and I've had several plane encounters since I wrote the above, and still they are not attacking (I think they've all been at dawn, dusk and night. No blatant daylight encounters yet) This game'll drive you nuts, just when it looked as though everything was working pretty good, something else crops up :Kaleun_Mad:

The recognition manual is nowhere to be found either. All the other charts are there. Has it been removed from the latest version of your UI?

Kalleblom 08-16-12 10:16 AM

Moin general,

get angry isnīt good for heart. :har:

You can try to call attention to yourselve to test if they respond. Some salvo or something. :D

In the last patrol the planes got on my nerves. Every time there was a plane it comes down to attack me, every time i get critical hits and have to go to port.

On the one hand i can understand your problem, for me itīll be an alleviation.

Herr Kalleblom,

I was always suprised by the amount of damage aircraft machine-gun fire did to the pressure hull. One straffing run and it could be down 50% integrity! Surely this is unrealistic? If the Hurricane was carrying depleted Uranium shells maybe.

Update: An enemy Coastal patrol, disguised as fishing trawler, just called in the RAF when he spotted me. It was mid day, bright blue skies. I personally jumped on the flak-gun and took some pot-shots at him, but the pilot just waved as he flew on by. Weird.

Well perhaps it's just another bug discovered. Every time a new mod comes out there is a period of testing. This is actually very good because it helps with the making of a patch.

This is all great info for Trevally, gap and all the others. I know it can be frustrating because we all want to play the game and get stuck on various bugs. But it's just a process to make the game more and more better :)

So, keep a stiff upper lip old chap :sunny:

muppet 08-16-12 07:03 PM

I dont know if i have it installed correctly either .On the main screen the open horizons is displayed,so does this mean all is working?Just dont see any difference ,Planes dont attack me either and dont see any whales or sthe other stuff the mod has.
