Again, its ELCO, not Ecko. Short for ELectric boat COmpany, who also made submarines.

And they only had depth-charge racks on the rear sides, replacing the aft torpedo tubes. As for planes dropping torpedoes, no AI unit in the game can shoot torpedoes. That's Why GWX wolfpack subs are surfaced and use deck guns.

I only had time to look in SSIII Museum for what I have be Posting All these Thread about

Crash Diving for a while

I can find no evedence that Hedge Hogs were ever used on Elco's.
Experimental Rocket Launchers,
and Automatic Cannons,
I found.
:hmm:
(Hanomag probably won't like that!)
:rotfl:
but not Hedge Hogs.

My eyes are bad, too, and getting worse. Sorry about your accident.

I agree with Privateer, though: I have never seen a picture of a hedgehog on a PT boat either.

I do hope your not holding your breath
waiting for AI Torpedoes.

Everyone and his Mother-in-Law has attempted them.

Nobody has a truely good solution.
So nobody releases thier work.

And before you ask for them?
Diveing AI Subs are another 'Holy Grail'

I can make them dive and re-surface.
But there are problems that I've not been able to resolve.
So no release.

the DC Racks on torpedo boats was only used in the
Pacific from what I understand.

Can I ask why? :hmm:

Cause they create trouble in Game.
I haven't worked on them in around a year.
But I do have several thoughts to fix some of the problems.
And then there's the AI Torpedo problem.

No AI Torpedos,
why make the sub dive?

why make the sub dive?

To avoyd the return fire from the ships? :hmm:

Isn't there a way to fix them to fire the deckgun only if not under threat, and dive if being fired at?

It's kinda weird seeing them take fire and do nothing about it.

I'm not sure if I remember correctly, but didn't Racerbody made a mod where ships could fire torpedos? Is there a way to make the subs fire torpedos?

And the problems you speak about, are they CTDs?

RB did Torps that traveled at speeds that are WAY beyound realistic.
They also suffered the problem of only traveling in certian directions.

Common problems.

The AI Diveing Subs do not cause CTDs.

But suffer from being classed as AI Ships.
If they dive?

The bounding Box the Game sees is still a surfaced unit.
All Hell breaks lose near Convoys!!

And within moments?
The Convoy hits a Friendly unit.
You know what happens then.
The Friendlies are no longer Friendlies!
Now the Convoy sinks itself!!

Now,
I can use standard Subs files which use the AI Merchant controller
for scripting them surfaced in Missions.

But I have not tested if they suffer the loss of movement as Standard
Subs do when scripted underwater in a Mission.

As I said,
I have had no time in nearly a year to devote to them.
Other things that have become reality took thier place.

The only person to actually get a copy of the first files
could not grasp the concept.

The second person agreed it was a valid and great approach.
But agreed that some of the problems
would take more time then we had to devote to them.
