Broken Record WO

Corrupt_File · 02-16-07, 04:53 PM

I think I saw this in a previous thread, but I searched and found nothing. Anyone else have the problem of the WO repeatedly reporting ship spotted when surfaced when the ship is in plain view (eg. 2000m on a clear calm day). It's seriously so annoying, I usually end up sending all watch below deck when I DG and do it myself just to avoid it.

GWX + SH3Cmdr + 16km mod, and a few other things.

This has been reported before and as yet there is no solution

Actually I'm having the reverse problem: I'm having the watch crew pipe up with 'ship spotted' every 10 seconds, yet when I query my WO I get 'No visual contact'.

It's really frustrating when it's a convoy around 15km out, and I'm trying to increase the distance in order to exit visual range and do a flank run ambush: my watch crew sounds like excited magpies chirping 'ship spotted' non-stop, yet the ships are barely visible as smoke on the horizon, let alone actually being seen.

Yeah dude, I posted about this before too. It gets so damn annoying I can't help from shouting four letter words at the stupid **** son of a ****!

But I'll tell you what that same crew member will save your ass in heavy fog, when the other four conning tower lookouts miss the destoryer screaming down on top of you at 200 yards.

Yeah, but by then you are so sick of him and his bs that you just ignore it! That is, until the first shell hits...
