SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - View Single Post - TLAMs very unreliable

First, vanilla DW patched 1.04 does not have this problem with the Taiwan Strait TLAMs. My TLAMs hit the Ningpo buildings 12 out of 12 every time.

I replaced the TLAM doctrine with the LwAmi ones. Everything works perfectly, so no problem there. But not with the LwAmi309 mod activated.
So I started looking around with the DW editor. And I found following:
TLAM Surf - Object Type: missile - Sim Type: missile.
TLAM - Object Type: missile - Sim Type: torpedo.
TASM - Object Type: missile - Sim Type: missile.

In stock DW there's only one TLAM in the database and both object & sim type were missile.

That 'sim type torpedo' seemed strange to me so I changed it to missile. And while I was there I increased the TLAM damage to 556 because that was the damage for the TASM.

I tried out the mission (several times) and it worked. I do get an occasional dud but I'm able to kill the naval base (100pct damage) and one of the shipyards with my 12 TLAMs.
I do not put my TLAM waypoint on the exact location of the objects because they are in the water but just 'over the edge on land' and I spread them a little.

DDP.
