Stuck trying to "fix" a ship (Heian)
I've had this ship a long time, it's named HEIAN MARU on my roster but believe it's give name was NKLCHeian. It's a beautiful 11800 ton freighter have included in my TMO upgrade, problem is it does some weird behavior others don't. First, when in a convoy, it always fails to keep station, lags behind, leaving it vulnerable and looks silly. Will spawn in place but always drops out of formation and travels at 5 knots while rest proceeds on at 9 or 10 knots, follows the path unless attacked, just lags behind.
Second, when alone will travel 10-12 knots, then just slows to five. Have tested this many times, adjusted power to engines in .sim nothing helps. Any ideas?
Finally, it is a little too easy to sink. two Mark 10 torpedoes hit center and forward, caused her to list heavy to port and capsize. Ran into one in November 1942 in Luzon Straits on last patrol, Been a while but I recall the hit points were high already but seems to flood and capsize easy. It is a top heavy ship perhaps why it capsizes like a heavy cruiser? large superstructure, from a distance could look like an Aux Cruiser.
Great ship
