Hi JoeL, sorry I missed you, not sure what happened there.

Shall we try again this evening? We can give the new LWAMI a whirl if it's out by then.

Sure, anytime after 7 PM EST.

I'll join (maby, I might end up having some things to do:cry:) if one of you will tell me how to work the MP. Never done it before, and me would like some instruction...:D

I'll host again in an hour and a half (8pm EST).

ASWnut, do you know how to connect to games? It's pretty simple. Just hit the multiplayer button on the main window, type in the IP address I posted here, and then select the room that comes up. Then it's just like playing regular single-player.

I can't really help with problems you may possibly encounter with routers, port forwarding, or firewalls, but maybe someone else here can.

As for ports:

• Connection // Ports for Client Configuration // Ports for Host Configuration
  Initial UDP Connection // 6073 Outbound // 6073 Inbound
  Subsequent UDP Inbound // 2302-2400 // 2302-2400
  Subsequent UDP Outbound // 2302-2400 // 2302-2400

(From OneShot's FAQ)

Thanks ML!

Game's up, IP is still 24.137.88.206

Make sure to grab LWAMI 3.07 here.

ML and I are going to join.

If the room is still available...

Cheers,
David

My observations after watching that replay:

1. My evasion technique is not improved by not playing DW except for tests with Truth ususally ON.
1b. I hate APR-3's.:damn::damn:

2. You'd [LW] be dead meat if my evasion didn't suck so bad. Hell, if I had time for just a few more clicks... :oops::oops::oops:

3. how the heck can you guys still be in game as close as those two were????!!!!

Thanks for the game. :cool:

:ping:

Cheers,
David

Nice shooting.:p

In a tense 3+ hour standoff centred on the Greek isle of Chios, USS Scranton (ML) and USS Jefferson City (me) faced off against two Akula-class boats, the Rys' (LuftWolf) and the Kugvar (JoeL).

The U.S. approached the isle from the north, with Scranton winding around the west and Jefferson City peeling off to the east. The area was rich with neutrals, so a nervous hold on weapons was maintained while contact data poured in. Shortly before rounding the isle, Jefferson City registered loud explosions originating from Scranton's last reported position far to the west.

Dejected but not losing sight of the mission, Jefferson City continued along the east coast of the isle in hopes of circling clockwise and flanking the Akulas. Kugvar was the first to emerge from the depths to make unwelcome advances towards Jefferson City, who valiantly defended herself and avenged her lost ally.

Now barrelling westward along the southern coast of the isle to flush out Rys', it wasn't long before the remaining U.S. sub's reckless speed invited SUBROCs to rain down. Despite a flurry of countermeasures, the end was inevitable.

Jefferson City and Scranton both missing and presumed lost with all hands. The second Akula remains at large.

Great game guys :up: Thanks again for connecting.

Maybe they were using high speeds to get within the 5nmi you need to get to in order for an MK48 hit?

I've not played MP match with the latest LWAMI mod or 1.04 yet. I'm guessing the US boats dont have a choice if they want to get within range to hit another sub - they need to gain distance...and a lot of it.

It's 7.7nm, and that's assuming he starts running the moment the torp is fired. In reality, you don't need to get quite that close because he's not going to run in a straight line at constant speed.

I managed to get within about 12nm unmolested, and got my torps nearly halfway to him before his uuv picked them up. There is a lot you can do when there's a layer and you have a detection range advantage. It was only my own incompetence in evading the APR-3 that let him get away. I had two torps in lethal range, but once I let myself get killed I couldn't guide them properly. I'm definitely looking forward to the next match, when my evasion won't be so poor.

And that was using a 688I. If I had been using a SW, I could have gotten even closer.

Or maybe I was speeding up to get the land mass out of the way of my target and incorrectly estimated his position ;) By the way, JoeL and I practically collided before we detected each other. I believe there was something like 5,000-7,000 yards between us before I found some extremely faint tonals. SUBROCs at that range don't give you much of an advantage. It was a very intense few minutes and very fun. Great mod, great patch, great game!

My TMA had you at 320 around 7300 yards, but since my TMA is usually so bad, I didn't believe it. I used the SUROC's instead of torpedoes. That was dumb and as usual, I died after a dumb mistake. That was my first MP in the Akula. Great Mod LW, thanks for all the hard work; it makes for a fun game. Thanks to all for hosting and playing. I'll be glad to play again if the timing is right.

Damn, I wish I was there with you guys. After all this time, LuftWolf and I need another battle to the death. The force is strong with LuftWolf. He is not to be triffled with.

Oh yes, I love the mod.

Care to go again but with me in a P-3?:hmm: (The same maby two 688i's versus two Akula's and my P-3 as a stand-alone?):cool: :cool: :cool:

I'm available on Tuesday from 6:45 to 9:45.

P.S. It's too bad I'll have to update to the LWAMI though, as me still use base (Version 1.00) stock DW. *Shock and Awe!*

anyone?:cry:

I'll probably be looking for action thursday. However, I'm not at all interested in a three-sided elimination match involving Blue on Blue combat. An elimination match were one side has a P-3 and the other sides have only subs is equally uninteresting.

More interesting setups would be anything that is objective-based (as opposed to an elimination match) or that tests out changes made in 1.04 and/or LW/Ami 3.04-3.07.
