400 YARDS? That could REALLY be a big part of the problem. Some how, I had it in my mind that my fish were arming at around 250 yards.

Anyway, I'm taking my computer over to the place where I bought it and I'm going to get control of this thing. LOL

Happy Hunting.

Well, I have discovered the source of my enemy's superhuman strength. I need to update my video card.

I was talking to my local 'puter guru about this and he asked me about the video card. He suggested that I bring a copy of the game and load it onto his Ferrari of gaming computers and so, we did. On THAT computer, I was killing destroyers like shooting beer cans off of a fence. (EMPTY beer cans of course :haha:) The game was fun again.

I know that there is a technical explanation for this. Years ago, I was really into Grand Prix Legends. With that sim, the computer needed to maintain a minimum of 30 frames per second. Otherwise, I would put in some signal such as clutch, brakes or steering and the computer would put that command in the cue and process it when it got to it. I was constantly driving off the road, missing shifts and crashing my car. There was never any consistency. Now, it seems I've had the same problem and it hasn't been until I started getting better and the careers and missions started getting more complicated that the problem made itself manifest.

This certainly seems to be the proper explanation because I can go back and start a new career and run a sim from square one. I have no problems because, at first, I'm only shooting basically one ship at a time.

Uh-oh. Be advised attempting to run SH4 on a laptop with a Celeron CPU and integrated graphics is a court martial offense, usually punishable by keelhauling. :arrgh!:

To check framerates hit CTRL F8 and you'll get an FPS counter at upper left.

Oooohh! Keelhauling sounds like fun! I've never done that before. :03:

I just tried out the F8 while attacking a large convoy. Yup, frame rate dropped to 16fps.
