I actually built boats that were aircraft, too, and they stayed on the water properly, followed waypoints, but didn't drop the fish (I took a Kate, and pointed it at the 3d model of a PT boat).

Seems like there has to be a way to make AI "ships" that use fish, even if just PT boats...

May be, your ship-plane can't calculate torpedo launch ...

The VT in game is actually an SB2C I think. Been a while since I looked.

Just a little confused?:hmm:

Q1; The kate dropping fish is IN the 1.5 right?

Q2; The US torpedo bombers are not fixed in 1.5 and require the Fix?


Greatful for answers.

Cheers

P.S
That yellow tipped torpedo I have seen coming under water but never realised who dropped it. Maybe a Kate then?

Thank you very much for this fix, torp attacks were a major aspect of ariel trianing for some navies and it was essential for IJN doctrine to be correnct and historic. much appreciated.

Большое вам спасибо за эту прекрасную работу.

It's a Vought Vindicator:

That's right!

I knew it was a big, ugly beast, and so I instantly thought Helldiver. Should've looked at the model before I posted, the vindicator has that characteristic change in wing dihedral (sorta like the SBD does).

SB2U was because of Ubi screwing the pooch with il-2's box art, so they dumped anything that NG (or any of the myriad companies it owns) would get in their face. So quickly we forget.
