in looking at the EQP file, this weapon is severely out of date. [Equipment 17]
NodeName=A01
LinkName=12mm_Browning_soclu
StartDate=19380101
EndDate=19420331
but the Savegame.upc has a completely different set of availability dates. [UserPlayerUnit 1.UnitPartSlot 1.UnitPart.Compartment 2.WeaponSlot 1.Weapon]
ID=50calSingleUS
NameDisplayable=.50cal Machine Gun
WeaponInterval=1900-01-01, 1999-12-31
... the Conning Tower is also severely out of date according to the Savegame.UPC, [UserPlayerUnit 1.UnitPartSlot 1.UnitPart]
ID=GatoConningEarlyWar
NameDisplayable=Start of war Conning Tower
UnitPartInterval=1900-01-01, 1942-04-30
Type=GatoConningTower
ExternalLinkName3D=data/objects/Conning_Gato_01
i should be assigned Conning_Gato_04 after 1/1/1944.
WTF.
everything else works ok. i do not use the AA weapon. but it is intriguing to see availability dates expire but no upgrades are applied... |
I'm not sure what I'm looking at for the 50 cal, but will keep trying. I do know though that the game will not always change things like would seem reasonable with the dates. The conning tower though, is something that Ducimus figured out years ago, in that the conning tower upgrade is points-based, like a new boat assignment is. Also, if there is a new boat available, you will get it instead of the tower. I forget what happens if you decline the new boat, as far as the tower goes...

Is it supposed to get distance with line on top of masts?
This one, i have to put the line almost on the chimney to get it right...
So the distance on top of masts is way too close.

I'll see if I can find the post, if CapnScurvy doesn't report back before then, where he mentions wanting to set the stadimeter to the stack on most of the ships for visibility. I do not recall if that did happen...

OK, so we'll say then that a person has to do at least a new career when doing the Patch file, and you've now got sonar lines...
The early Porpoise was "deaf" on the surface, like the S-boats, with their heads on the deck. They were later re-fitted with new under-hull heads. I thought that CapnScurvy had that boat set to do that, but may have given up on the game's dates not following the intention. See above
