There are surface only uboats that can attack convoys. I think h.sies mod incorporates them a lot

If memory serves, .................. I think SH4 suffers from the same issue asSH3 with i sub firing torpedoes. They are in game, and will dive if they spot you, but I don't think they take aggressive action.

I know someone was trying to get torpedo planes to attack and they would drop the fish, but I think they ran into trouble with torpedo speed, and direction keeping problems problems, and then issues with moving targets too or something to that effect.

I'll see if I can find the thread, which will explain it out in detail.

Found this one on AI Torps for SH4. I must have missed this one.

Air dropped torpedoes,

Hope this helps! From what I understand from modders talking who worked on both, SH3 and 4 are similar, and maybe this stuff could be adapted?

As I recall AOD had wolfpacks ... and just last night when trying to close in on a convoy I was ID and 3 warships came after me. I did escape after eating 6 bannnas and chili peppers ...

My point is even if there were other UBoot AI that could not fire they could distract the warship escorts for me to get inside ... maybe with one ham sandwich!!

:salute:

Well, as I don't seem to have the proto type any longer?
I'll need to re-build it from scratch if I get some time.
Fortunately, I've figured out the compression of texcoords for SWTOR 3D meshes and handed the information to another Guy to finish the Noesis plug-in.
:D

So I may just get started on another test Unit soonish.
I also had an idea for fireing real torps from it.
They would be limited in many ways by the Game engine but could cause enuff confussion to make things a little more interesting.
:haha:

As a side note, if I can get it all to work in SH3?
It will work in SH4 also.

That would be awesome! I wasn't expecting my question thread to cause this much discussion!

Privateer,

That would be a major input to have a few or even one other U-Boat spawn to pull the escorts away! A diversion would be great.

As I recall, it was enjoyable to see convoy ships exploding in AOD when on scene with my boat ... havoc!

:salute:

Wow! If you could get it figured out, that would be a boon for both SH3 and SH4!

Especially if you could crack the nut of the airdropped torpedoes.

I thought Anvart had a fix for those in SH4 WAY back?
:hmmm:
