Youre lucky.

Doolittle, are your photos with the stock SH4 damage model, or is that a mod? I was forced to surface by a trio of DDs in Truk once and got shot to hell by their guns, and my boat never took any visible damage.

I had alot of malfunctioning Torpedoes. But i never ever have seen a circle runner.

When I tried the TMO Mod...the very first one I fired circled around...

I had fired a total of 4 and the last three ran straight...I had finished my surface business, so I had headed deep already.

Don't know what happened to the circling one....just lucky it didn't find me I guess.

Those pics were taken of a circle runner using SH4 1.4, + a selection of ROW Mods (pre-Pacific Environment)+ RSRDC.

I'm 99% certain that I have seen visible damage on my sub with SH4 1.5 as well...though I've never experienced a circle runner with 1.5...but I don't have pictures.

EDIT: Actually, I just took two pics....SH4 1.5 with PE3 and RSRDC....hull damage from DD fire. I never see any deck or Conning tower damage though.

Ive fired quite a few torpedoes in my time. Have yet to see one to circle on me.

Plenty of duds, premies, deep runners, none have circled (knock on wood).

Im wondering if maybe folks arent setting their gyros off at 45 degree angles somehow?

Fair Point..but I kinda doubt it..

One way to rule it out ,maybe, is to find an auto targeting player who has experienced a circle runner.

How about it?...any player using auto targeting ever experienced a circle runner?

(are any players still using auto targeting?) (can a manual gyro change be input while using auto targeting?)

Yes they can, however Im not so sure folks using auto targiting would set them that far off. Still it could be done.

Maybe Ill do a test carrier with AT on and try some wacky stuf and see.
