SubMines - SLMM

09-29-06, 03:48 PM

Can some one infom me of the correct procedure to lay SLMMs.

When i fire them and they are travelling, i immediately rearm that same tube with a another SLMM. Is this ok?

In a game using LWAMI 103. I laid 8 mines in depth of 180 - 200 foot of water.

2 were so close, that they were nearly touching (10 - 20 feet apart). Both were pointing the same direction. I presumed this wasn't possible and that they would detonate on close proximity.

Also the mines had a few 48s go over them. Nothing happend.
Though the 48s came from a bearing of 270 from where the SLMMs were pointing. They still went over their detection arks and did not react.

can some one please advise me on the correct procedure of firing SLMMs.
Or is it that SLMMs are their for display purposes? :hmm:

although i have not actually used a SLMM yet, I do know that they are wireguided, and rearming the tubes while one's "in flight" will cut the wire....maby thats the problem. just a pointer.

SLMMs are not wireguided. You can rearm just as they leave the tube.
In stock DW, torpedoes homed at SLMMs very hapilly. I used them as CMs a lot. I think in LWAMI it works too .. but I too tried to use SLMMs (and mines generaly) lately and they just did not explode. Maybe there really is some problem .. I'll try some custom scenarios tonight to be sure.

oops, thinking about something else...

Hm .. I use latest DW pathc, latest LWAMI.
With Kilo's mobile mines, when mine comes to target waypoint, it WANISH. I know that LWAMI fixed mine's sound when it stopes, maybe there is some bug in this. Can somebody confirm this ?

I just ran a test. 1.03, LW/Ami 2.03

Fired 6 mobile mines, 4 of them stopped normally, two disappeared. Not sure why. My best guess is that the doctrine tried to place them too close to the bottom, and that due to the contours of the bottom, they actually touched.

The first mine the target passed over did detonate.
