Pantherhercules, are you sure you did not use the torp mod?
I did something simular with stock torps and they were ALL hits. Second attempt, ALL hits, 3rd attempt, 1 miss rest (15) hits. I then stopped testing and reinstalled CCIP's mod (well included in RFB 1.27)

Well, I'm using all of RFB 1.26 (not yet 1.27, but the readme to 1.26 says CCIP's torpedo mod is already in 1.26) except that I retrieved the stock torpedo file from my backup clean install, and installed it (via JSGME, of course) as a new "mod" on top of RFB 1.26. However, on my next set of tests (firing 19 torps in same setup as above), I got the following:

- again, all 19 went essentially where they were aimed (a couple drifted maybe 1-2 degrees to the right of where I thought they would);

- at 19', the first two passed under without exploding (one set to C, one to C/I);

- at 18', the next two (one set to C, one to C/I) both exploded at or just under the bottom of the hull - BUT, neither did any apparent damage (none on impact, none showing after the time it took to reload all 4 tubes);

at 18', one set at C/I exploded about 3-4 feet below the forward hull (this one veered about 1-2 degrees right - should have hit dead center) - fire and flooding, down by the bow:

at 13' (set to C, 1 degree left spread), normal impact explosion, left of the previous one but still right of center);

at 12' (set to C, 2 degrees left), normal impact explosion, at center (so left of previous one, but not as left on ship as it should have been); ship sank - reloaded mission;

at 22', both torps (one C, one C/I) passed underneath hull, but both exploded about 100 yards past ship;

at 20', one (C/I) passed harmlessly underneath, but one (set to C) exploded just underneath hull (very close - may have hit, or maybe 1' under - hard to tell)

at 15', 3 torps (all set to C, with 1L, 0 and 1R spread) all had normal impact explosions); ship sank - reloaded mission;

at 20', one (set to C/I) passed barely under with no explosion, but one (set to C/I with 1L spread) exploded just underneath (again, maybe hit, maybe 1' under);

at 20' one (set to C/I with 1R spread) passed barely under with no explosion, but one (set to C with 0 spread) exploded just underneath (again, maybe hit, maybe 1' under);

at 13', one (set to C) had normal impact explosion (ship sank, got tired of reloading);

So, this time around, out of the 19, 12 exploded on/near target (though 2 did no apparent damage, so I suppose they may have been near-miss prematures even though graphically they seemed to hit - so about a 45% failure rate taking those wussy no-damage ones into account. Essentially, 2 prematures and 8 possibly deep runners (though 3 of those were set to contact so they may have been running fine and probably would not count as "failures", in which case only 7 of the 19 would be failures, for a 37% failure rate this time.

The one thing I'm still puzzled by is (1) still no impact firing pin duds - are they not modeled in stock? (are they modeled in CCIP?) and (2) I can't seem to discern any pattern of difference between contact and contact/influence settings on torps that run under - if they pass really close/hit the very bottom of the hull, both C and C/I seem to explode, and if they pass what looks like the "right" distance of maybe 3-4 feet below neither C nor C/I explode (except I have had one, set to C/I, explode at what seemed like 3-4 feet under the hull - it's hard to tell - what looks like 3-4 feet is probably much farther, given that the diameter of the torps is almost 2 feet). Was this modded somehow in a different file to try to get rid of the effect some people were reporting early on about maybe the switch positions being reversed or something?

We are getting a varity of data. Here is the problem. The scenario or campaign conditions vary. We need tow scenarios that will work as the test range to gather our data. Another to consider, scenario vs campaign. Two different conditions. May be there are conditions in the campaign that effect torpedo behavor differently.

a campaighn test reange would be impossible to replicate, to may vaiables. Those variables can only be controlled in a scenario. Someone with scenario creation experience needs to creat two or three. I think , harbor, near land and deep water would work fine. All testers need to use these same scenarios to test torpedoes at short, med, long ranges, contact and magnetic. Each test needs to have the outside camera enabled to watch the result of each fish launch and manally amke a recordof the behaior. These scenarios that are created can call torpedo test 1,2 and three. The need to be uplaod to a sight for testers to down load. Each scenario shouldhave a readme file with test procedures to use and record keeping procedures and reporting procedures. This will allow everyone interested a chance to analise the results and comment. If we are luck we may solve the problem.


As not to hijack this thread we need to start another,RFB Torpedo Test Center thread.
There posted a mission statment and what we hope to achive and how we are to achive it. How does my Idea fly out there?

Great test to your question have not played enough to form an opinon.

[oiler]

question about water clarity : Is it possible to change underwater visibility in this mod? Can i make this alone??

[:FI:Rabitski]

Those test as you stated are being carried out useing the 1.26, But I thought the problem, if there is one came with the 1.27. I to had the gyro problem with my torpedos, I was setting up on the lead ship of a small convoy, I fired all 4 bow tubes. they went way off to the left and ended up hitting the 2nd ship in the line, oh well I thought better that then nothing @ all, thinking I may have messed up the targeting or something like that. The ship I hit didn't sink so I set up for a stern shot @ this stage it was dead in the water, so i fired tube 5 and off it went to the left, same with 6,7 & 8. I turned about again and fired 2 re loads from the bow but again they went off @ 45dgr. I quit the game and came on here to see if anyone elce was having the problem and saw the post about taking out the torpedo_sim file from RFB 1.27. I did that but I decided to replace it with the one from RFB 1.26 and re loaded the game but again I had the 45dgr to the left shot's, so in the end sadly I just took out the torpedo_sim file, I guess 3 major fault's is all I can handle.
Apart from that I just want to say Thank you to all the Modders for there hard work making this game playable.

Last night Iwas lookin over RFB mod readme to see what mods were applied. In version 1.25, 07051: Added Dud Torpedo mod. Mod by CCIP (Data\Library\Torpedoes_US sim.

It was carried over to version 1.26 and 1.27.

Which other three faults? I know the stock 1.2 is packed full of them ( Note: New to SH4 and very little sim time,info gathered from reading threads on this forum.)and some work arrounds to fix through modding.

I did run into one the high magnification gun impact drift of target.

[panthercules]

Not sure, but I didn't see any indication that 1.27 had changed anything about the CCIP dud torpedo mod that was already in 1.26 - if that's the case, then tests with 1.26 ought to be as good as with 1.27 - if not, then 1.26-based tests won't be too useful I guess.

I decided to try one more test series, this time after putting the RFB 1.26 torpedo file back in, to compare it to my stock tests. Interesting results - won't repeat all the details, but basically out of 28 Mk. 14 torps fired:

- of 18 set on C/I, at various depths from 15' to 22', 11 ran deep and passed under the 19' draft Liberty without exploding, 3 prematured or veered off (not sure which - they were all the second shot in a 2-shot salvo and never showed up at the ship), 1 bounced off the lower hull, 2 impact-exploded and 2 magnetic-exploded;

- of 10 set on C, at 10' to 12', 1 prematured, 1 passed under and magnetic-exploded, 1 passed under without exploding, 1 bounced off lower hull and 3 bounced off middle hull, 1 disappeared (probably prematured or veered off), and 2 impact exploded.

In short, 6 hits out of 28, for a 78% failure rate, with (finally) some impact firing pin duds and a pretty good mix of other types of failures.

So, guess I'll keep the RFB torpedo file for now after all, and maybe do some more testing for a separate torpedo test thread like suggested above.

[:FI:Rabitski]

The 3 faults' I was refering to were the fault's the Mk 14 had early in the war, running to deep, Magnetic exploders that didn't work and weak firing pin's, all of which I was ok with as that's how it was, but having fired 10 torpedos and have every 1 of them shoot off @ least 45dgr's from the target seemed a bit much for me. Now if this was also an a problem with the Mk 14's that I didn't know about then I'll re-think putting in the torpedo file, I did like having the dud's and the torpedo's running under my target's, sure I'd want to pull my hair when they failed to go off but them's the breaks. But having 100% failure rate all for the same reason on 1 mission does not seem right. And now that I think more on the subject, the mission I played before the one I stated above I did have dud's and torp's running to deep but no gyro problems, so now I'm even more confused.

[MudMarine]

Before I started the thread I need to reread the issue of the Torpedos in this thread. Interesting find that Krupp reported this issue with Version 1.23, way before it was part of 1.25.

My torpedoes have a bad habbit to turn about 20 degrees to port after firing. I'm not sure if it's RFB123, but it happens again. Earlier it happened with the torpedomod (the one for hardcore skippers), but I uninstalled it and until now, I didn't have any problems.

This post tells me it is an issue with CCIP's Dud Torpedoes HardCore mod. I have read and searched the entire thread and this isthe first mention of this mod.

My understanding from this post by Galanti who help tested the mod , His reply to Beery.

As far as I know, no. But CCIP is the expert on the torpedo stuff.
I believe we noticed while testing the Hardcore Torpedoes mod that the Mk14s had a pretty consistent gyro angle error of about 20 degrees to port.

A consistant error of 20 degrees to port, interesting.
what buteobuteo wrote

If I recall right EGAN reported the same thing when testing CCIP's Dud Torpedo Mod.

Two testers with the same problem and the problem goes awy after the mod is uninstalled.

This gyro problem is not that historic in accordance with this article posted by Sfinx
http://www.geocities.com/Pentagon/1592/ustorp2.htm

This article mentions contact and magnetic exlpoders and depth control. Nothing about gyro error. The gyro error that skippers are experincing is not historical. The only mention I can recall is the Tang being sunk bya torpedo that was fired and cirled back.

I might sugest someone remod the DUd Torpedo Hardcore\torpedo _US.sim file, just change the gyro error seting back to stock 1.2 settings and see what happens.

[Beery]

Jace11 found and fixed the torpedo gyro angle bug, putting it back to its vanilla SH4 level. It seems that this bug is in vanilla SH4 but it's made ten times more likely to appear when using the torp mod. The bug seems not to really be a gyro angle bug - it's more that if it does show up on a patrol 100% of torpedoes will have the gyro angle problem.

Since even in unmodded SH4 this bug occurs, I've considered removing the chance of a gyro angle problem altogether. If others can give input into this idea that would be great.

Again, this bug is in vanilla SH4. That's why I'd experienced it BEFORE I ever used CCIP's mod. It is an intermittent problem that causes a particular failure type to occur in ALL torpedoes used during a patrol.

Yes, because the problem is not caused by CCIP's torpedo mod. It's a vanilla SH3 bug, as I suspected. However, apparently it is made worse by the mod.

I also reported it on May 3rd, before I'd ever used the dud torpedo mod, which is how I knew the bug couldn't be caused by the mod.

[Beery]

So CCIP's mod just componded the problem? Yikes, This sounden like a detective story. That being the case the only thing nessary is to place the gyro variable back to stock 1.2 values if this value was modded. That would solve the gyro problem or at lest place it back to stock values.

I think the other problem of 100% bad batches of torprdoes for campaign war patrols willbe harder to track down. I thought there would be a clue in the campaign cfg file.

I am not famlilar with modding SH4. My interpitation of these files maybe wrong.
Maybe a clean unpredjudiced view is need.

Other files that may be need to mod if the cfg is modded:
DynamicMiss.cfg, .mis files,

another file thatmay have been over looked:

Well that is all this detective could find other then Torpedo sim anddat files. I hope my leads pan out for someone

[Beery]

InclusionProbability is just the probability that a particular ship or location is included in the campaign. It's set to 100% for all locations. You can adjust the ship populations by reducing or increasing this number in the mission files for ships.

DynamicMiss.cfg contains info about the extra missions you're given after sending a status report. This file hasn't been examined much, but I believe it's just another sort of mission file for the dynamic campaign.

The realism percentages are just the percentage realism you get added or deducted if you add or remove those realism options. You can adjust the values to give greater or lesser weight to each realism option, which affects your score in the game.
