INVINCABLE!... Patrol Boats?

I like to play missions with the FFG and ive recently made a map. There is a enemy cargo ship in the map and i fire my sm-2's, and they disapear right on it! and my harpoon does the same. and my cannons dont seem to damage it at all. The torpedo was a "dud" somehow also... and then i was playing the DMB mission, something like that, but ur protecting a ship as it intercepts an ICBM(havn't got to that part, if it somehow has a good storyline, dont spoil it (i mainly say cause i havn't seen any slbm's or icbms yet) And the sm-2's go right thru an enemy missle boat, though my harpoon missed and torpedo killed it, y does the sm-2 always fail, and how was that cargo ship invunerable? any help?

no, it sorta takes the point out of the game, but i dont ever use it until im finished with the map or just get REALLY bored of it and dont care to save

then again, it was sighted by the lookout so it was preatty accurate, nothing like show thruth though, as for the missle boat, it was right out of lookout range.

Oh yeah .. I mean for bug resolving, not the whole game

Anyway SM2 is quite weak against big ships. Show truth shows also target condition. Also if you are close enough to see it, you can control missiles with binoculars from the bridge, or using gun camera (or helo). All these shows truth.

Also provide some more info about game version, mods you use and the mission you test it on.

My record of 11 SM-2 missiles in one minuet can sink most vessels medium sized personaly the harpoon is better even though in the world of ASM its totaly crap.

Its vers. 103 and no mods activated, i think the mission was TMBD or TBMD, its the one where you have to pretect a U.S. Ticonderoga as it waits to shoot down a potential NK nuke.

But last time i used an SM-2 to hit a ship was on Fleet Command, even then, after a single missle, missle boats would show many signs of damage, and the SM2 didn't even explode.

BTW: does it automaticly "mark" when u c something through the binaculars? cause ive seen some ships and tracks werent added or adjusted... but CAN u even "Mark" like the pariscopes?

Why would you say that? It doesn't have the dash-penetration ability of a Russian P-270, P-800 or 3M54 to be sure, but there are plenty of subsonic missiles in the world - even the Russians have a Kh-35
