[neede] accoustic torpedo dropping US planes

keltos01 · 12-24-09, 05:35 PM

1 October 1944:
Palau Islands. I-177 is returning from Ulithi. In the evening, Lt Floyd H. Wardlow, Jr's PBM-3D Martin "Mariner" of VPB-16 makes radar contact on a submarine. When approached, the submarine crash-dives, but a positive identification is made. The PBM drops a Mark 24 "Fido" acoustic homing torpedo that damages I-177 severely. The PBM relays the target's location to a nearby hunter-killer group that searches for the submarine.

I thought maybe AOTDMadmax could help with this.

Maddy, I know you have US planes dropping torpedoes, could it be feasible, I know we talked about it in the past, to have them drop accoustic torpedoes ?

Merry Xmas,

clone the avenger

maybe :

clone an avenger

in atftorpedobomber.equ change

[Equipment 21]
NodeName=B01
LinkName=SH_Torpedo_Mk13
Loadout=Torpedo

to

[Equipment 21]
NodeName=B01
LinkName=SH_Torpedo_Mk27
Loadout=Torpedo

make a mission with torpedo planes appearing above (to simulate USS bogue's sinking of I-52) sub on the surface, when aircraft spots us crash dive

see if it drops a homing torpedo ?

I uploaded my clone here :

if anyone care to help.

then I'd need a single mission for the Jyunsen B and that plane...

It's possible to have aircraft launch homing torpedoes (or mines) by using the AI launched torpedoes mod. I've been playing around with these for a long time, and i was able to get good accuracy if a salvo of 3 torps is launched instead of 1. But the salvo doesn't spread with distance. However, when the plane passes over the target, the torpedoes eject in the wrong direction, until he makes another turn.

If you'd like to check out these files, send me a pm.
