Video playthrough

Loudspeaker · 05-10-12, 03:37 PM

What a wonderful project, and I have already learned an easy way to calculate intercept angle

Can't wait to try it out.

Are you going through the career with map contacts off? If so, I'd be happy to watch your convoy attacks, since they are my weak spot at 100% realism. Surely we can learn much from you, captain

Edit: I vote for sugar as well, but please upgrade when opportunity arises.

Nice videos. What bearing plotter mod are you using?

Q:
Are you going through the career with map contacts off?

A:
Yes, full switch. Though, because it *is* youtube and you guys probably do want to see some action, I may leave the event camera on. Convoys are easy. Just plot one ship, the rest are on the same course and speed. The merchies will always be in a grid formation with x columns and x rows. The spacing interval is going to be very regular, usually about 500 yards between ships.

Q:

A:
I've been using it for a long time, so I'm not exactly sure. However, I believe it's a modified version of the one that came with tmo 1.7. I resized it for 1920X1080 res, fixed the slight alignment issue, and chopped it down to 2000 yards because 3000 was too big and crashed the game. I remember doing the above modifications for a fact, but I'm only about 75% sure that tmo was the source plotter. If someone wants it, I'd be happy to put it online.

I tried starting patrol 1 of the video playthrough, and got a whole mess of technical glitches for my trouble. I would normally revert to an earlier save, but since I'm serious about the whole single life thing, I didn't have any. Since this is the case, I'm just calling this attempt a wash, and will save frequently from now on, just for stuff like this. Not sure what caused the problems, but I'm thinking I should probably check my computer fans. I'm cursed in that department, and it looks like the kind of problem they could cause.

Anyways, these are just some highlights of the problems I had.

Looks like you were going to have some fun with a task force. Shame that the game decided to kill itself and replace your crew with what looked like ghosts

Heh, maybe we all died in that last DC run and I was really seeing the afterlife... spooooooooooooky!

Or, you know, not...

Told you to start a Salmon/Sargo

How about a Tambor raiding Truk??

ColonelSandersLite · 12-23-12, 05:35 PM

I'll consider a truk raid.
