Some of the DD are around 12 foots draft, while some are 8.5 foot deep. Depending upon what you have the torpedo set to, and the condition of the sea, as to whether or not the targeted ship is bobbing on the waves, and also whether you have the pistol set to magnetic or impact can all play a part in what happens. The default setting for the torpedoes is "Magnetic", and if you use auto-targeting and "Lock" the target, the TDC will set the torpedo to just above the draft depth, no matter what you set the torpedo to yourself.
The Yamato was a beast, a huge ship with a lot of water-tight integrity. Read about the Musashi and Yamato both, how much it took them to go down. It is not unusual for it to take 10 or 12 torpedoes in the game, which would only be about half of the punishment the ships took "historically". Other ships make up for the difficulty of sinking a Yamato class BB...
I will attempt to replicate your CTD when docking at Fremantle. Was the "April 13, 1942" date when you were coming back in from patrol, or the date you left Surabaya? Did you press the "End Patrol" immediately after it was offered to you at Fremantle, with the big dialog box - or did you use the little icon in the upper-right corner of your display, after you came closer toward Fremantle? Did it crash right after pressing the "Dock" button, or as you exited the game screen? Were you able to continue the career from Fremantle, or did you have to go back to a previous Save? Thank you  |
- About the torpedoes, I know the weather conditions, I play with metric, no foots, and manual targeting system. Normally a destroyer has metric draft of 3.5 meters, I launched my torpedoes towards a battleship with a depth of more than 9 meters, magnetic mode, but still detonate with taks forceŽescorts (destroyer was in the way of my torpedoes)
- Yes, I know the history of the big boys class Yamato too, maybe 8 torpedoes weren't enough, but I fired 8 torpedoes to the battleships Fuso, Kongo and Ise. ( historically didn't take more than 4 torpedoes to sink the battleship Kongo)
-Today I tried for the fourth time to dock at Fremantle, and there weren't problems,
Now, I'm going to the battle of Midway
.The previous times, I was coming back to Fremantle after my patrol,( the
exact date to arrive a Fremantle April 24, 1942 ) and I pressed "end patrol" with the big dialog, and immediately crash right after pressing the "Dock" button, I have to go back to a previous Save.
Many thanks for you reply.
