Enemy subs invincible?

vonHuffer · 07-09-18, 05:50 AM

I just caught a pack of British subs at anchor and put a few torpedoes into them and ... nothing!

I mean, I shoot them straight, ~0 deg. on the bow from ~600m while standing still at periscope depth. By the book. Multiple hits into their hulls. Saved, reloaded, tried-again from different positions, torpedo depths -- same result, none of them seem to die.. At most, they start to run around like headless chicken at odd angles with their props in the air.

Context:
100% realism setting; Oct. 1939 (with a few tens of kills under my belt)
SH5 v1.2 from Steam, with no mods.

It must be a bug, right? Please tell me it's a bug, 'cause I've exhausted all in-game-possibilities (on one attempt, I even surfaced and put a few AP rounds into a sub's waving tail -- I don't know if it did any damage, 'cause there's no life bar in 100% realism setting) and want to get back to a normal life, one not marred with sub-on-sub action

You must chose a very low or 0 torpedo depth I guess. I was not yet able either to destroy one.

Hello
So I never have a problem with destroying the enemy submarine with a torpedo. If I hit. The depth of the torpedo I put around two meters, and even the submarine has its fuselage immersed in water.
However, as I read so you play the basic version of the game and there is everything possible.

Enemy submarines play no part in SH5.
Sinking docked ships in ports will produce some strange effects as well.

There is only 1 way to play SH5 and it is right here.

vonHuffer,
+1 for using TWoS if you want a good playable game...But...

After patching to 1.2.0, you CANNOT begin to play, too many bugs and malfunctions, especially your torpedos not working as intended, so there's no surprise you may miss hard targets...
For playing stock game 1.2 here is the minimal setup:

-------------------------------------------------------------
First, you must run the TDW Generic Patcher v.1.0.168.0. This is a MUST to correct about 20-30 basic game bugs.
Then, you must install at least these mods:

FX_Update_0_0_22_ByTheDarkWraith (read carefully what to install!)
DeckGun Friendly Waves
No_Damn_Bubbles_No_Damn_Halo_Mod
-------------------------------------------------------------

Then you can start to play, but still the campaign is not at its best, get TWoS will add Open Horizons II with a lot of campaign additions and fixes and improve other 100 things, much better sub interiors and easier GUI functionality.

I'm just curious AJ, if you are playing stock game, could you please publish your JSGME mod list? My above setup may not be so good afterall, so I get something to compare. THANKS !
