Still dud torpedos although option is disabled

[Dragon81]

Hi guys,

Yesterday I had some dud torpedos although I disabled this function in the realism menu.

I heard about two kind of ships. "Dat" Ships and "GR2" Ships and bugs with the magnetic detection of the torpedos.

For the GR2 ships there is a fix in the Generic Patcher so the magnetic torpedos are working.
Is there something similar for the Dat ships?
I'd like to have working magnetic torpedos on any kind of ship in the game.
(Yes I know it is unrealistic and the dud torpedo rate was big that time)


My list of installed Mods:
- Wolves of Steel (optional Realistic Hydrophone)
- Naights Submaine Textures
- NOZAURIO'S SKIN
- Fifis Scope
- Lifeboats by Rongel

Disable them also from the TDW's patcher

??? Did I missed that? I have to take a look in the Patcher.

Nop! I can't finde something about dat ships. I use the "Snapshot 7_5_0_v17.gps" as writen in the installarion description of the Wolves of Steel modpack.
There have to be a other cause for the dud torpedos.

TBH i am not sure witch one
i really like to have some torpedo failures

[Dragon81]

Because I didn't played for a long time now I'm a 100% noob and I'm very lucky when I can hit a target with the manual torpedo solution. If then the torpedo is a dud one, I will rage quit.

I want to create a test mission.
Can somebody tell me the name of a "Dat" Ship and the name of a "GR2" Ship?
I want to add one of each to get a direct comparison.

You have to disable appropriate patches in the Generic Patcher, not OFEV...

[PLProGrin]

thanks for answer. Now only, I have to guess which were the fixes.
