VIIA awful depth keeping!!
 

what? are my planesmen drunk? why is my boat constantly sinking? why does it travel with a nose up attitude at 120 meters?

anybody else notice this? i was at silent running around about 100 meters and i sunk to 120 before i had to order up 3 knots to rise :damn:

not to mention i get the old "sh4 wallow" where the submarine refuses to dive

Mine can't keep depth either.

To be fair it would be a feature if magical depth-keeping was gone.

Yeah but to keep depth at 3 knots? unrealistic.

I agree, but the problem here is past a certain point you have to travel at fairly high underwater speed in order to maintain depth.

I believe the real Type VIIA was very hard to keep at depth. You have to keep the boat above 3.5 kt. I believe it was one of the reasons why they update to the B version

are you running Capthelm's Improved Atlantic Wave MOD by any chance?

yeh i go past 100m and even flank speed [ i mean extreme speed ] dont hold it for me.

yep same here, but i find it actually fun seeing the submarine sink all by itself slowly at 0 knots (or small speed), but in reality it was probably the same thing, I mean come on, it shouldn't be easy to keep such a submarine leveled

Yes or you planemen need more experience! :03:

I agree it's nice to see the end of the magic hovering stationary U Boat.
However it seems a touch too harsh at the moment.

Surely 2 knots of forward motion coupled with judicious use of the trim tanks should be enough to hold a given depth?

I'm not sure if AVG Warhawk was joking or serious, but I wouldn't be surprised if it does have something to do with crew morale or experience.

EDIT: By the way, I have been seeing this behavior in stock.

I was i turned it off...ill check

As far as I know they needed roughly a speed of 3 Knots to hold it on one level. But good to hear that feature made it in. Found it was too easy in the previous titels...order 0 Knots and you were not trackbleany more.

OK, I stand corrected derblaueClaus. Thanks for the info :up:
That's about right then, because I find 3 knots is about what I need to maintain a level depth.

I believe it does. For example...my hydrophone guy has no experience. He does not listen. When asked he says he can not do that right now! WTH? I'm told he needs more points to add for experience.

It's very annoying that the boat sink like a rock this way.

Wait.... saying a submarine cannot stay afloat unless it is doing 3.5 kts is stupid.... I doubt very seriously all these subs are doing 3.5 kts

EDIT: Oh I see...you guys are already at depth not on the surface :)

But even submerged even all but the most incompetent planeman/engineer could keep a steady trim on the U-boat. If you read "Iron coffins" THAT is the example of an incompetent engineer near the end of the war....

/popcorn.

You guys don't know the half of it yet. Go go gadget legacy issues introduced with SH4.

Go ahead and take a 7c to a shad over 200 meters, and tell about the depth keeping. Hell, use the uboat tweaks i posted a few days ago, thati'll increase your crush depth so you can really see the problem. Meanwhile, I'll be sitting right here with my popcorn, waiting for the fireworks to go off.

I don't know what this mean but it sure sounds pissing. :stare:

LOL Duc...

Nothing like not fixing issues borne from SH3 even.... LMAO.
