You sure about that? I don't have SH4 but in SH3 my experience is that the AI does react to steam torps but not to electric ones. Since SH4 was built on the same engine (grumble grumble metric - imperial mess up...mutter mutter sub radar useless) it ought to be the same no? |
Yes. In SH3 the AI seemed to react to steam torps, but only the fast light weight DD could turn fast enough to avoid one.
I really have not seen this in SH4 a DD avoiding the steam torp. Maybe that is because the crew rating for the DD need to upped higher in rank to Veteran. The old steam torp would give away your position.
Testing these Mark 14 fast and slow, I almost want to say they use the Mark 23 torp data model in place of the Mark 14 when you select FAST. The regular Mark 14 at slow speed uses the other normal data. Try setting the Mark 23 to a perfect torpedo then watch the Mark 14 failure rate comparison FAST/SLOW. Does one vary from the other?
The depth running problem seems to accur after 1943 for the stock file. IRL the depth running was fixed in late 1942 before the Firing pin problem in mid 1943.
I need to test more. Maybe the tweak file did not get it.
