Collisions still an issue

Well, although much was improved in the 1.4 patch, one of the reported bug fixes in the readme is NOT working.

Just got rammed by a Japanese destroyer. When he rammed me all of the damage from the shell hits I took was immediately repaired and the destroyer went down like a ton of bricks.

That's discouraging. I may hold off installing this patch.

It's the old "if there's a single flaw left I quit playing the game" or "if there's a single flaw in the game I won't install it" thread. Ho Hum!

Not your fault swdw, but when a thread gets poisoned it usually dies horribly in a cacophany of apocolyptic catastrophizing. (eg. the old perisocope animation hysterics)

Airborne, swdw isn't telling you the patch is no good! He's saying he encountered one instance of it not working completely as advertised. Judgement, grasshopper, judgement.

Wonder if it's possible to do NEGATIVE damage. Perhaps as simple a problem as a type with a - someplace.

Using stock files? In specific, DAT, ZON, and zones.cfg.

Let me get this straight...

It reparied damage ?!? :hmm:

I dont make a habit of running into DD's so to me this is a bit trivial but they did specifically state it would be fixed in the patch notes.

Fincuan · 11-29-07, 03:39 PM

I haven't tried this with DDs, but I can definitely confirm that ramming a Mogami did no damage to my sub. I can't tell if anything was repaired because there was no visible damage to begin with.

This has some precedent in real life, although this is more analogy than perfect precedent. Ever hear of "Flyway Jesus?"

Airlines give preferrential treatment to handicapped people. They provide wheelchairs, help board the people first and load their belongings in the overhead compartment for them. They get special food choices too! (still don't think I would make the trade though).

During the flight to their destination they always meet the "Flyway Jesus" once they are at altitude and upon landing a large percentage of their handicapped passengers simply jump up, abandoning their wheelchair, grab their stuff and walk out of the plane. It's a miracle!

Another cool thing to do is when you book online and its a flight with meals, go Koscher you get much better fare! Love the Flyaway Jesus, excellent!

I just did a test. I used the borneo convoy mission. Sub is a gato. I surfaced and let the akizuki and mutsuki take pot shots til I had internal damage, and some gaping holes. I went to PD, and let both of them ram me a few times.

My sub didn't repair from it, but it also took no damage. The DDs didn't explode, either.

Under what conditions are you seeing this?

After a while, with quite a bit more DC damage from each ramming pass, I surfaced and duked it out with the 40mm gun forward. They sank me (both DDs and several of the merchants hitting me at the same time MANY MANY times). IN the time it took to sink my sub I killed the Akizuki with the AA gun, and had the mutsuki furiously burning.

I think I need to mod all the ship's deck guns up rather a lot. You'd think my sub that was already solid red in the forward torpedo room, had the main pump and con mostly completely destroyed, and virtually every other system already damaged at some level would have sank after the first 10 or 15 five inch shells hit, plus countless AAA rounds. I mean I was hit5-10 times before I was fully surfaced, the boat was swiss cheese based on the damage templates applied.

Had the same thing happen. What really happens is your bow hit the onboard magazine.
