Has anyone seen this in GWX 2.0?

Blue_Ninja63 · 12-21-07, 10:46 PM

I just finished my first patrol in GWX 2.0 and I encountered this twice:

In the Irish Sea between Ireland and Britain I came across a pair of motor vessels travelling together, they were identical Irish ships with the exception of their skins. On my way back to port, in the inlet leading to the Kiel canal inbound point I came across a pair of naval artillery barges travelling together these were German and identical in every way.

I've only encountered one pair of ships travelling together before this when I first bought the game and started playing, however, these ships were not identical.

GWX team, is this something you have put in to GWX 2.0 or is my installation faulty in some manner

. I'm running stock SH3 patched to 1.4b with stock GWX 2.0 installation using Enhanced damage mod, English Nav Map and Grid reference, and Integrated orders. No other mods are being used.

Sincerely,

Don't freak out yet!!!
Can you duplicate what happened?
If not, then RND thingy did it!
BBW is the "MasterBlaster" on that type stuff.
I am but a simple Techno-Mage.

Two ships travelling together happens in GWX in various parts of the globe. Where is the problem?

Blue_Ninja63 · 12-21-07, 10:58 PM

All I was doing both times was running at 512 TC when the motor vessels were spotted and 128 TC when the naval barges were spotted. So it would be beyond my control I guess and just a random thing.

Thanks for your quick reply,

In two years of playing Silent Hunter III I've only seen a pair of ships travelling together once and they weren't identical vessels.

Now in one patrol I've seen this twice and both times the simulator has generated identical ships. If it keeps this up it will be easy to snag 100k if it duplicates larger enemy vessels.

Can you see my concern, I don't wan't to re-install GWX 2.0 if I don't absolutely have to as I successfully sank 77,459 tons of shipping and have been promoted to Oberleutnant zur See.

When the new RND was put together it now has a random chance of spawning a particular class of ship rather than a specific ship type. Privateer is right BBW is the man to ask about this. It's not broken though. I've seen mixtures as well as pairs in GWX2.0 testing.

As I said,
IF you could repeat it exactly, it could be fixed.
IF it's a RND thing?
Then it's RANDOM. Could happen and does.
Don't nit pick the small stuff or you'll end up
where I did.
On th GWX Dev Team!!!

Thanks Tarjak,

That's good news as I really love the new GWX it has gone beyond my expectations of what the team was creating.
