Friendly ships and Sonar and Submarines

[V13dweller]

Also, do the ship compensate for the depth charge thrower? because the Soldati destroyer only has these throwers and no racks to drop them.
the destroyer just passes over the sub with it's rack no scoring a hit, because it has no racks.

As per stock settings, from 1 Jan 1938 to 31 May 1941 the Soldati destroyer is equipped with two broken K-gun projectors. Try installing Cerberus62 Corrected Depth Charge Projector which replaces them with similar (yet working) projectors

Keep us informed

I just did another shallow water test with the K gun fix, and the Soldati seems to be happy to discharge ordinance with, hmm, relatively poor accuracy.

I will run a deep water test soon, to see if the German Destroyer will actually make some attempts to help.

OK, after the deep water test, it yielded the same results, bearly any action was taken, the German destroyers made no attempt, they just performed what looked like an attack pattern, but they dropped no depth charges, I am beginning to think that the German and Italian destroyers either only have a passive hydrophone or that they are not programmed properly.


From what I have seen the German Destroyers just stop and idle when an enemy is near.

Even the Montecuccoli Light Cruiser made more attempts than the German Destroyer, They Cruiser made a single pass, it was interesting to see a Cruiser depth charge a submarine though
Generally, they seem to avoid the submarines, but once enough destroyers were sunk it decided to come in, once, then it fled, to hang around the out side of the group.

your tests are very useful for tracking down broken equipments, V13dweller, please keep them on.

Nontheless, in order to undertand what is going on, we need for more information:

what date your last test mission was set to? And what about destroyer's veterancy levels? Have you update IRAI to the latest version?

Both Soldati Class and Type 1934A destroyers are equipped with active sonar and radar, but they use different models with different specs depending on date, and radars are absent till 1940-41
