The FC Barcelona of Escorts?

Bosje · 03-13-12, 10:29 AM

Is this modded and if so, which mod?

i clearly remember my pre-gwx days when silent running at 1/3 meant just over 100 rpm

you said weatherconditions too good for submarine operations, wouldnt be the first time they heard a uboat with passive sonar

or they were on alert because of an airattack/AI uboat, so they were in 'alert' mode.

good post, i too love the fact that you still get a nasty surprise every now and again. even more so because you got to live to tell the tale!

edit: in conditions like you described, i'd be at less than 50 rpm or even full stop and drifting

This was SHIII, GWX, SH3 Commander. realism 90%
I was silent, 0 knots drifting, that why I was surprised to be detected
But I enjoy a twist or 2 while playing

Time Compresion?
Sometimes I had this problem when using 64x.

Salute, All !!!

I believe that any time an escort gets less than 500 meters from you he will detect you no matter what condition your boat is in or what the weather is.

It is just one of those glitches in the sim that we must deal with.

When those escorts go sailing by, you need to stay away !!!!!!!

No, I've had escorts pass very, very close by and not detect me. Once during heavy weather, a destroyer nearly rammed me and went on its merry way. Other times, the lead escort has passed directly overhead (by my choice or not) and didn't notice.

Remember, a destroyer will not ping if he is listening, and will not listen if he is pinging.

I've also had them pass directly overhead at high speed and not see me.

In GWX they'l come stairght for you three out of four times. Very annoying. Using time compression worsens things. Going to silent running as you dive does help a bit.

Oddly, the first wabo attack is the deadliest. After that one the escorts seem to lose fficiency.

I keep th rudder five degrees port or starboard. This eems to throw the AI off.

Good hunting
