Unable to fire more than 12 shots at best...
 
Hi everyone.

As the title suggest, I'm unable to fire more than twelve shots per game in DW ; even less if allied units already openned up on targets. Different platforms offer the exact same result. Fortunatly well balanced missions rarely require more than twelve weapons fired, but it's still anticlimactic to say the least.
I play with LWAMI, but it's a problem that I had on the vanilla game anyway (I think I remember having it on Sub Command too). I had 5 different computers and 3 different operating systems since, but the end result have always been the same.
The game version I have is the first CD edition.

Anyone having this kind of issue ? Am I doing anything wrong ? I'm opened to suggestions.

You have to recharge your high-pressure air in the ship control station! I used to have this problem all the time when I first started playing Sub Command. Once it gets to below 50% (somewhere around there), you can no longer fire weapons. If you're submerged, you can get another 10 points of high-pressure air from electrolysis. After that, you have to snorkel to refill your high-pressure air banks.

Thank you for answering.
That's a very good suggestion, unfortunatly that's not it. I meant twelve shots for any plateform. If the Sea Hawk could fire that amount of ammo, the "jamming" would most likely be the same.

I've observed closely when it happened on a Perry FFG after 8 to 16 shots :
The Fire Control accept target assignment, but it refuses to load any more ammo, SM-2 or RGM-84. I've made a test scenario where there's just civilian ships and planes (no one firing back), and I've successfully fired all 36 SM-2s plus the 4 Harpoons and torpedo tubes, there wasn't any problems. I'm starting to think it has something to do with the total number of ammo expanded by all units on the map, maybe from any side.

I'll try digging into the doctrine files, and the database. Sometimes reseting some stuff remove glitches.
But thanks again for the input anyway !
