Torpedoes on attack map?

zola25 · 03-26-07, 03:04 AM

In SHIII; torpedoes in the water showed up on the attack map but this seems to be missing in SHIV - I know its not 100% realistic but it suited my style of play quite nice - Its pretty hard (for me) to keep track of an entire spread on the way to their targets. Does anyone know if its possible to have this feature in SHIV??

Its known, a few squares from midway towards japan for some reason removes it, to get around it best thing you can do is be in the Asiatic Fleet.

It also removes gyro trajectory thing making it near mpossible for me to hit anything... =/

Man, this game seems more and more buggy all the time.

How can you tell that it removes gyro trajectory as well? I´m actually finding it hard to hit anything myself (on assisted settings) - Found a nice Task Force on a straight line and managed to miss all of them - they didnt even zigzag??

Well When I look at the attack map while in pearl harbor I had the gyro and torpedoes on attack map, then as I passed this imaginarry line off of midway it stopped working for some reason, don't get this in the asiatic so I just run there...

ehh how do you pull up the attack map?

It isn't that intuative and I don't think there's a shortcut key (?).
You have to click the icon - lower left, click the compass icon and then underneath, next to the normal map, is the icon for the attack map.

Click the two-pointed divider hot key in the lower left of the screen

It will open up a menu of other hot keys.

One of the new hot keys is the Nav map (which you will go directly to if you double click the two-pointed divider icon)

The one next to it is the attack map. I don't remember if there is a shortcut directly to the attack map

Hope this helped

I noticed that torpedos show up on the torpedo practice mission with the cruiser but not in the game. Weird.

The attack map bug is due to crossing the international date line I think it has been determined. I know that I only lose it if I take a sub from Pearl and everything is fine until after the line crossing. If it is due to a saving and reloading issue I dont know.

If I play a boat based in the Asiatic fleet it does not happen.
