Good missions for playing while learning the game?

It's definatley not a "bug festival". This bug appear in 1.47 and was corrected. In RA 1.46 Asura worked fine.
It's because DW engine is very difficult for modding - you fix 1 thing and 5 other thing starts to work bad.

Vanilla and LwAmi also have many bugs - which were never fixed.
RA is much more advanced than vanilla and Lwami - it adds dozens of features by only 1 person who is NOT professional programmer.

I have many of videos from tests - but most of them are from not released versions. But i had also so many videos from big battles and there is no "bug festival".

If you think:

messages like the "periscope #2 is flooded" when a torpedo shutsdown

have so big impact on game but submarine sail unable for detection by radar is not problem for you (vanilla and Lwami bug) you probably play this game for completly different reason than me.

I never said that a submarine sail not being detected by radar is not a problem. You're the one downplaying the importance of the bugs, not me!
Although in reality, detecting a submarine sail would not be easy, it would require a relatively flat sea and a higher mast.

There are many other bugs introduced by R.A. in interfaces, like for instance the magenta lines on the viewport of some periscopes and infrared cameras on planes, or the bug on some weapon loadout screens that show a rack free space number that is not correct and you try to increase some weapon count while still having 2 or more available spaces to fill but it just doesn't increase....

You can downplay the importance of the bugs all you want, but the great amount of them, small or big - whatever, only creates frustration when using the r.a. mod and ends up driving users away from it.

All big problems you counts are for me only smallest things - tiny "cosmetic details. It don't make me frustrated.
If its so problematic for you - you can play only vanilla platforms like you have in Lwami or vanilla

Bug with not correct weapon space is from vanilla kilo interface. It's funny in vanilla it isn't problem for you, but it is in RA

Magenta lines are effect of not correct scaling by game. Some people have this bug and some haven't. But it's still tiny details.

If i have to choose between version with small graphic artiffact or version where almost all major game mechanics works bad: radar bug, reduced speed of all missiles, buggy AEGIS work, wrong weapon speciffication (65-76 in vanilla is wiregiuded active-pasive torpedo) and many more, i will choose version with small graphics bug.
DW is not eye-candy game. Most of time you spend on map, sonar or TMA. So 3 magenta pixels are not problem for me.
World of Warship have beautiful graphic - maybe this is game for you?

Btw my first post was answer to ridiculous sentence "RA is only for MP". I showed many times this game is good in MP and SP. I have videos from many scenarios - also from single player campaign. I prooved that accusations "in RA you can't hide" are effect of not understanding submarine warfare. Empty words vs video - i think everyone can judge these arguments himself

@hamm - don't listen those malcontents

you should start with vanilla and FPSChazly tutorials - they are good for basic learning. After this you can check other mods - Lwami or RA
But RA needs more time for learning because some game mechanics are coded.

Don't listen guys who advice to make in editor "special missions" before playing simple scenarios. Its funny he gives this advices to all but he did't do this for himself. And he still have big problems with simplest mission

Its only game - you don't have to donate in your church before playing.
Making mistakes is natural process of learning.

No, it isn't. You're making RA bugs a vanilla game bug when they're not!
Which kilo loadout has that bug in vanilla DW? RU Kilo, RU Kilo Imp, CN Kilo, CN Kilo Imp???
I just tested all those in vanilla and that bug is not present there.

Is also the "blank loadout" bug on platforms that use the kilo weapon interface, a bug on vanilla DW?
You know, that bug, if you don't go to loadout screen before mission, then in mission your loadout is all blank.
No, it's not a vanilla DW bug, it's a R.A. bug.
And it happens on your precious Orzel too!!!

As I said before, you can downplay the RA bugs all you want.
In the end, your attitude resumes to a few keywords that you've already written "are for me only smallest things - tiny cosmetic details."

DW 1.04 kilo weapon rack bug.

1. count all torpedoes before reloading
2. count all torpedoes after reloading
3. no single torpedo was fired!

Any questions?

This bug involve all rest bugs for every submarine uses Kilo interface.
Its vanilla bug - having impact on all mods

Yes - i know about this. This is why you should always change weapon loads from default. And its also DW engine bug - it doesn't work correct if you change (by programming) weapon load for new submarines.
Probably Sonalysts didn't plan to make our product moddable.

But it all are very small bugs - easy to elimination. Btw how much in game you launch all of your weapon? For me it desn't matter in RA weapon storage shows 2 more space - matter is max number of weapon is correct.

My precious Orzel? Are you kidding? I never played this sub any single mission. Are you jealous?
I was just happy Orzel was added because i never asked for it. It was nice gift for polish players - nothing more.

All your pretensions doesn't changes fact: RA is most advanced mod - where most of vanilla bugs were fixed. Its playable in single as well as in multiplayer mode. This is only one mod where systems works really close to real, with correct missile speed, correct weapon channels for Perry, controlable torpedoes (changing side of layer) and many more major mechanic improvements. Of course there are many small bugs like some "bad pixels".
DW was released with ugly graphic at that time. Today this graphic looks even worse. But real DW players knows DW don't needs eye-candy graphic. I saw many times discussion there players says - "visual side of this game is ok".

In the end your attitude resumes to a few keywords that you've already written "R.A. is a Bug festival with new interfaces poorly done."
The truth is: people active playing this game havent your problems with few magenta pixels. They didn't call it as "bug festival"

Any questions?

Yes, Why do you post a video as a reply to a bug I described, showing another bug?
The video you posted shows a bug that is present on both vanilla DW and RA.

The bug I described in post #11 is a bug on the loadout screen, you know, the one before mission, not in mission:
"or the bug on some weapon loadout screens that show a rack free space number that is not correct and you try to increase some weapon count while still having 2 or more available spaces to fill but it just doesn't increase"
This bug is not present in vanilla DW, only RA.
Please, post a video showing the bug I described in the loadout screen before mission, on original DW.

No, in vanilla DW you do not have to go to loadout screen before mission to have a default loadout in mission.
Any mod adding playables should replicate that behaviour, and that is perfectly possible as I've done it several times.
RA introduced that bug for some platforms that use the kilo weapon interface.

I'm not arguing that. RA is the most advanced mod for DW, but is also the laziest one!
You see, the thing is: all these bugs that I've been describing are fixable, but they just don't care!

DW graphics were not the best at the time it was released but were not bad either.
But one thing is dated graphics, other thing is buggy graphics with misaligned elements and visual artifacts that don't belong!

EDIT: One thing I agree with you, RA is no better or worse in Single player than it is on multi-player.

because this bug causes effect described by you. Its not visible in vanilla - but it doesen't means bug not exist.

this is for preventing vanilla bug from my video. It makes "virtual" space for reloading. Btw number of maximum loadable torpedoes in racks 1-4 are correct (8). If it causes you don't play this mod my opinion about you is not good. You see small bugs but you cannot see all improvements - also vanilla major bug fixes. For me it's ridiculous.

no, its looks like you are "laziest one" - not RA modders :P
If you wish video - make it yourself, mr "laziest one"

Nobody except you see this as problem. Usually patches and new versions are releases for fixing major bugs. DW engine is not "MOD" friendly. Often one fix can make 5 new bugs - i have dozens of videos from testing 1 thing!
So nobody (except you) laments for not fixing 3 magenta pixels. Active DW community knows what have highest priority.

thank you.

Btw you should start to play. Many players still have fun from participating in big MP battles.

Playing is always better than talking about playing.

Today we will play big match (20:00 CEST = 18:00 GMT ) and we still have 3 free slots for players:
- Sierra I
- 2x Kilo improved
