Torpedo Bug???

Dignan · 12-20-09, 09:52 AM

Hello. It's been a while since I've been on these forums and since I've played SH4. I decided to fire the game up again recently. I was doing the practice mission where you try to sink the cruiser and my torpedoes are on target but they are passing right through the hull as if it wasn't there. No detonation, no bouncing off the hull....they just keep going. I've gone to external camera and watched them, they aren't running under the hull. they are going right through it and out the other side.

Is this a bug anyone else has ever encountered? I thought maybe it was a mod combination I was using so I even tried removing all mods in JSGME and I still have this problem. Any suggestions?

How close were you?

The only time I've had fish pass through a target is when I fired too close, so the torp' didn't have time to arm.

When I fire them too close, they hit the target, stop and sink to the bottom. I haven't seen them ever just pass through the target.

Yes. this is what they should do if you are too close. This was in the training mission so they wouldn't set you up too close to the target. The torpedoes are just passing through the ship as if it was a "ghost ship"

What version of the game are you running, any mods..

What depth are you setting the torps. Have you tried 5ft setting? What type torps...M!4's?

Sounds like a bug, but I would run them as shallow as possible and try both settings, contact and influence.

Try a different mission and see if the same thing happens, different ships, ect...

Could be the one ship that's bugged...what type is it?

there was reports of a ship with missing damage zones where if you hit it just right the torps pass right through because the game doesnt think it hit anything.

i thought this was fixed in one of the patches thou
