Ships underwater?

Ice Forge · 12-05-14, 11:15 AM

So while i got no reply in a few days in that post i resurrected ill try to make my voice heard in my own then.
( borrowing the pic from him as THIS is exacly how it is for me )

Fresh install with wolves of steel mod ( followed installation instructions to the letter ) i am now stuck with vessels being 75% submerged and i am at a loss on what to do? Should i try to reinstall and scour my computer for small teedy files windows leaves everywhere to get it 100% clean or anyone have any experience with this problem and have a solution ?

this subject comes up with all the sh games because ships "die" from two ways, the amount of damage or by sinking to a certain level where the game considers them sunk.

in your case neither has happened yet, the solution is to do more damage or make it sink lower in the water to register as sunk. since I would assume its on the bottom you can only add more damage to solve this.

always double check your chart views to see if the ship is still registered as alive or dead because it might be dead but still "look" alive from in game.

this is why its not good to harbor raid because if you catch a battleship or carrier in shallow water, it can sometimes be very hard to sink and you use up most if not all of your torps doing it

hope that helps

Problem is that i have not attacked them, and it is EVERY ship :/
It is almost like they spawned 6 meters lower then they should have. I could not even find merchant vessels because they ( i lowered difficulty to unlock freeview ) were completely underwater and the only thing i saw was a slight puff of smoke on the surface.

Ill try a fresh reinstallation in the weekend when i have time :/
