A fresh U-Boot Spezial Cocktail to anyone who can spot what is wrong with the picture below:

At least I got the little Bugger....

A lifetime supply of cocktails goes to the smart chap who can fix this problem.

I got a couple of answers.

If you've got a wind speed of zero how can you have a direction?

Plus you got no visual contact from your WO but the pop up for 'aircraft spotted'.

Seems a bit simple, so that probably means I barking up the wrong tree!!

Aircraft Spotted = No Visual Contact (Oxymoron?)

I do believe that RADAR plays an important role here.....

Well I don't know what that Zero is doing out there during the night...

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, its something that crept into TM 1.7.6. I have never been attacked at night until 1.7.6. The reason I suspect TM is that I just upgraded to 1.7.6 and in 1.7.5 I never saw aircraft of any sort at night.

I tried editing the Night Modifier in AIRSTRIKE.CFG but still no luck in finding a fix. Any other ideas?

It's not strictly a Trigger Maru issue; I've seen aircraft in the middle of the night just in vanilla 1.4 occasionally. It's hardly common, it's only happened a couple of times to me, and it's usually an Emily rather than a Zero.

M. Sarsfield · 02-04-08, 04:04 PM

Since I upgraded to 1.7.6 I have seen a LOT of night aircraft. Way more than I ever did with 1.7.5 or vanilla.

elanaiba · 02-04-08, 05:45 PM

If they're radar equiped I'd say OK, but I don't think its the case...

Patboot · 02-04-08, 06:00 PM

The Kawanishi was an all-weather plane, so thats plausible. The A6m, though, not hardly.

I agree, I am on a patrol using TM 1.7.6 and I am getting air contacts on a average of 4 to 5 a night, 100-200 miles off the coast (a lot of Zeros). I started to shut down all radar to see if that helped but that had no difference. Now, I usually dive to PD and use my extended SD radar to track. Actually there is no real difference between night and day anymore!

Reason: remember binary,0 is not a value without 1

I can't make out the time there... is it 05:07 ?
