I hope it's still OK to add to this thread on the subject of bugs. I tried to read through so as not to duplicate other's lists, but this thread has taken a few detours along the way and I got tired. So, here's my wish list of items to fix. Please accept my apologies if none of them are new.
First with a positive note. I'm on my second patrol with patch 1.2 vanilla (I won't mod much until Ubi is done patching) and am really enjoying it, despite some of the issues. You have to admit, there's some nice touches here, like the light signals a Japanese task force uses after you attack them.
Now for the issues. While I really like the fact that COMSUBPAC has given me a crew (much better than Pacific Aces in that sense), I'm really beginning to question their competence.
1) My bow (I think) planesman keeps leaving his post. No promotions for him. I'm thinking about a court martial.
2) When I stood down from general quarters, the shift on watch were tired, so they just went to sleep at their posts. I'm thinking about another court martial.
3) When I reloaded a save game after setting up a perfect surface night attack in front of a task force, the engine room went to all stop from flank. Not good timing for a coffee break. I'm probably going to have to court martial them too.
4) I installed the air radar after my first patrol, but it still isn't working (at least nobody tells me of the planes before they are spotted visually). Who should I court martial about this - my radar operators or the folks back at Pearl?
5) I hate the fact that I can't see out of my periscope and use hydrophones at the same time (I know - this has been mentioned a few times already). It's probably not his fault, but I'm thinking about court-martialing the hydrophones operator anyway.
6) After spending several days running around the patrol mission objective point (Honshu), I still haven't completed my objective. I'm out of torpedoes and need to go home. I guess they're going to court martial me too.
After all is said and done, I'm really enjoying this, but I may have to go back to SH3 and fight for the Axis for a while since I won't have a crew anymore after all of them are in the klink.
