In the course of testing out the RBU's I've discoverered something rather interesting about DW 1.04.

When there are explosions near a platform, it is possible for a submarine to be killed without the damage meter showing any damage. Several times, the RBU's sank my submarine, I lost attitude control and plummetted to the bottom, but the interface was apparenlty intact.

However, I KNOW that the submarine was listed as Killed in the NavalSimEngine itself because other weapons and platforms ceased firing at my platform when this occured, although I was not "officially" dead yet or at least had not been informed of my dying, not I until went past crush depth. This is how I am able to rule out the possibility of a control or physics engine bug.

So, I think you all should be aware, you can lose control of your submarine when all systems appear to be in order, and you are already dead.

Does this mean that this ant http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=104894 are similar problems?:hmm:

I'm glad you made the connection, because that is exactly what happened in your case, only the event was caused by a collision with the DSRV.

I'm making an impression that the whole patch is a bug....:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

I see you're new around here.

You have no idea what buggy patches really are... :x

Cheers,

I belive i do now...:smug:
However, I'm not new, just i was't present all the time... Sometimes it's just better to listen....:|\\

There's nothing sexy about that!
