@ Frost1349, thanks for checking the LAA. Glad that did the trick. The AI in v0.80 is off a pinch, as merc4ulfate has found, and with the sonar, what it looks like is that once a vessel gets within visual range, the sonar doesn't report as often. You would notice similar behavior in the radar room. We'll see how it all interacts with the next version.
@ jldjs, thanks for the comment. I didn't have much time yesterday evening / night to do much of anything here. We got a three inch (yes, three inch) snow in central Indiana last night, sixteen degrees, and the place has been crippled. Now, if this was Atlanta, three inches of snow is crippling. They don't have the gear for it, but central Indiana??!!!? Inexcusable. In the meantime, power went out for several hours. And that's all she wrote... anyway - I hope to get to it today.
@ Fifi, you are probably in too close to the cannon for that first shot. Try getting a shot from the reverse side, and see if it doesn't look better. There are some angles and views in the game where an explosion is absolutely stunning, yet if you Save the Replay and look at it again from a different angle, it is not as pretty from another angle. As for the "Lock" on targets, we'll see what the AI changes do for what you experienced in the 2nd shot, and hopefully your "Lock" indication will hold better.
Thanks guys for all the observations.  |
I have sailed past ships within 1000 yards and not seen a sonar bearing line nor sonar man calling them out. Weird thing is that sonar can call them out at 13,000 yards but not at 100 They normally lose sonar about 6-7,000 yards away.
I encounter one patrol outside of Truk none inside and even if I had they are non effective. As I mentioned earlier the stationary do not even fire at the periscope until I'm 200 yards from them. I wouldn't mind seeing four in and four out at Truk. 600,000 tonnes is a lot of sunk ships.
By the way ... shouldn't the game max out petty officers far sooner ?? I only have 11 crew who are not officers or petty officers. I use them for look outs. And 10 specialist?
Another odd fact I have noticed on the last two new boats.
When given the new boat I have to repurchase any upgrades such as improved sonar or radar. I have also entered port, made the purchase, left the game and then reentered the game only to find more upgrades available such as 5 different types of fish or an improved station. If the upgrade was not there upon last port entry, the game gets saved then reloaded why does new upgrades suddenly show up?
Nice to have them but an odd thing it is doing.
