Massive Convoy of Destroyers
Holy Hell!!! What the heck is up with my game? I just ran into a what was described on the radio as a "Large Convoy". Large YES!! Convoy hell no!
Seriously there are like 80 Destroyers and other escorts in this convoy and that is it! The columns of ship run each 20 deep with lots of others around in between and on the edges. Just North of Bismarck Sea June 29 1492 at 0400. Is this the gaming screwing up or is there intentionally these large of Destroyer Fleets running around.? You can't even see all of them in this image because literally the 3 columns of ships run on for miles and miles.  https://gyazo.com/c11c9bbc9366c9d21c6205df3ac748f6  https://gyazo.com/15915b0e63996ded88c462e5229c95cd |

Don't get me started. Once every 3 patrols I encounter this massive destroyer fleet and soon after that the game crashes. Saves made after meeting groups like these are corrupted.
I experience these with 1.5 (no mods) and never with 1.4. |

Have either of you tried using Webster's GFO mod? It fixes many of the bugs in the vanilla version of SH4. You can find it here.

I don't see anything listed in the GFO mod that would fix the issue with massive destroyer fleets crashing the game and corrupting saves.

100+ Destroyers - Davy Jones' Locker or Bust!
I have to share this one which made me immediately save and exit (for now.)
April '42 and I am assigned to sail from Pearl to just SW of Tokyo. I snuck in, picked off a few merchants and then escaped further WSW. I parked at the mouth of a large bay with 3 shipping bases to see what would come my way. Late at night, a 4-ship patrol of Mutsukis came down my way and I managed to kill 3 and wound the 4th, who limped off NW into the bay. I retreated to deeper waters and set up monitoring again before cranking the time multiplier. The multiplier stopped when contact came close, so I went to F11 to check out what's bearing down on me. Huh... it looks like a trail formation of destroyers.... 6...8... 10... wth.... I follow the length of it and there are 26 Mutsukis and 2 Fubukis at the end. HOLY CRAP! Then I spin left and see a duplicate line of ships on the horizon. I spin right and see a double line of ships. OH DEAR MOTHER OF GOD. I was hoping for a task force, and I guess I got it. I'm just going to go deep and silent and hope for the best now! |
