RFB+RSRDC users..HELP?

Sledgehammer427 · 08-17-08, 05:58 PM

okay, ill try to explain this as best as possible
on a boring day, early in the war 15th of december '41
i finally sight a lone merchant...i was already annoyed by the fact that i forgot my Deck Gun Crew, and i had no AA crew either. so i figure, okay, torpedo attack...well within my ablilities.
i fire two torpedos, bow tubes. it is a perfect, no gyro solution, evn for autotarget...
both torpedos pull a hard right turn so fast i crash dove in case i had circlerunners
annoyed by them, i fire two more...again, both did the same...

this must be an issue with the campaigns of RFB and RSRDC? or is it that original torps back then were all duds? i figured at least ONE or TWO have to go straight to the target but NONE of them did, not even a stern shot helped it

Are you able to repeat the procedure, if so do a runthrough with
torpedo malfunctions off.
see if theres a difference
(did you repeat it already and get the same thing.)

without being certain of your settings I couldnt say
its rarely if ever that bad for me.:hmm:

They used to go left. That was corrected. Very odd for going right now all the time. Just a question, did you say you are using auto target? If so, did you lock on the ship before firing?

Sledgehammer427 · 08-17-08, 07:38 PM

yes, i believe so, there is no triangle anymore lol

and mush, im aware the torpedo malfunctions is on the options screen?

Sledgehammer427 · 08-17-08, 08:04 PM

If you are using auto targeting never use the position keeper. That will ruin your auto target setup.

Are you using RFB 1.4 or 1.5?

SteamWake · 08-18-08, 11:54 AM

By the way you can move sailors from one station to another.

For example from the stern torpedo room to the deck gun.

Not going to help your targeting issues but just thought Id mention it.

If you're using RFB 1.4, we've recently uploaded a fixed torpedo file that fixes a nasty bug with all torpedoes veering off-course. Check the stickied thread in the PTO mods forum for the download link.
