Just a quickie update.
I have now installed the spy nav map mod and just set all crew back to rate 4.
I also deleted my copies in the libary,
I started a quick campaign as all the above took some time to do, man that find and replace takes it's time for me.
Anyway,
I started off from base and at least I can see all the convoys in campaign.
I tried to intercept but a lone DD is spotted by my crew.
Ahh I say to mysel, time to test hydro settings from before.
SO I crash dive and guess what,
My threat indicator turns red, it does not yet say detected. Ship is about 7000 mtres away closing on my beam side.
I turn down speed and it goes back to green but as i time compress, as this was really just to test the spoy nav map mod rather than the sensors,
Guess what,
The DD detected me from a good distance. I am in 1941 war time so expected it to have better range plus the fact it was calm water and I had already nerfed by sensors.dat to around 12000 - 18000 depending on what sensor.
So I am calling it a night tonight but my hopes have re-gained.
I am definetly sticking to the campaighn to do test but it is so much easier with the spy mod.
My fears
1.We nerf too much that convoys are too hard to approach, same as ducimus fears. We may have to compromise some reality here but as long as I get better gameplay then I personally am going towards gameplay rather than ultra realism.
2. This was just some form of game conspiricy to screw with my head like CB says :rotfl: :rotfl: Next time I try, the DD will probably just ride over me.
3. I have to test this by going to each time period in the war and then get individual results per sensor (noooooooo, I am lazy arghhhhh)
4. After we do all this we then start to look at visual sitings etc etc (arghhhh this is hell)
My furture actions
1. Abondon single missions and only do testing in campaign now. I think CB and Col7777 have very good points to keep steering us this way.
2. I am still going to try and adjust the sensor.dat to see if I can infact get any results without really touching the cfg and report as I go. If this fails, I am falling into line like a good boy and wiping the egg of my face.
Good night guys
