BUG: Large Liner collides with Escort

Starmo · 09-24-23, 01:14 PM

Every time I get to intercept a fast convoy with a Large Liner I allways get dissapointed by it just colliding with an escort and sinks before I get to shoot it after lineing everything up.

Anyone has an idea to what could cause this issue? I am suspecting the large resolution(3440x1440), but everything has worked fine appart from this/these encounters. (I just started Arctic Convoys campaign)

Off Topic: If anyone know what files to tweak to reduce or even remove this Afro-Style Bow Wave/Spray it would be really appreciated.
It doesn`t look natural

All of the SH games that I am aware of have a similar problem (SH3, 4, & 5). The game defaults to placing ships 500 meter apart. Unfortunately, some ships are quite large, and require much larger distances between them for proper "convoy keeping", else the "collision avoidance" AI kicks in, and the Artificial is not very Intelligent in this regard. Plus, the escorts have some odd behavior, where they think they have to cut in and out of the convoy's columns. Your boat's very presence is what kicks it all in the teeth...
