My AS missiles fail miserably
 

Has anyone else had problems with them? The TASM and Harpoon missiles from the Seawolf get fired, make it just above the water's surface, then fail and float back down. It's happened 6 times, and I've tried them at shallow depth and periscope depth, and they just keep failing.

if moving no more than 4knots

Yes, you have to be at less than 150 feet and less than 6 knots for them to launch properly.

Yes its an error of the game which can be fixed by reading the manual. :O:

You mean the DWX manual (weapons)?

If you're using a mod read the mod documentation, if you're using the standard non modded game read the game's manual.

Even 5 knots at PD? Because that's what I'm at.

That's...strange. Are you using any mods (LWAMI, RA/DWX, AT)?

I think I remember such problem. I'm not sure what it was caused by though.
Try to turn currents and wind too, they work weird anyway.

I'm on 1.0.0 without mods. Should I patch up? I was nervous about getting 1.0.4 straight away.

Definetely get 1.04, it fixes some major issues with the game, although I don't ever remember that happening to me when I was on 1.00. Also try what Dr. Sid said about disabling currents/wind.

1.04 is a must.

That does sound like a FAIL moment

But it does sound like a launch out of normal operating parameters - this game does have some funny bugs (which I'll post in another thread).
