[REQ] Sensor mods

Schlageter-JG26 · 03-22-07, 05:32 PM

I haven't gotten to sensors and attack ranges yet, but I will second the motion that we give this attention.

I tried the 1st Quick Mission which is against a combined CV and BB fleet and managed to SURFACE.... dash forward.... go to periscope when they finally began firing on me at roughly 4000m and continue forward, firing a barage that took out the Kongo and reloading to kill one of the carriers.

In the meantime, only two DDs dropped depth charges anywhere near me despite highly active sonar. At the same time, the fleet crippled itself. Ships stopped. Ships went to flank and rammed one another. Others just throttled back to 4kn and steamed slow wide arcs. That was IT other than a near-ramming incident and I was able to park literally below and between two heavy cruisers, a DD and a CV which were all just feet from one another at various angles. Ridiculous!

As for campaign AI, I have only done two patrols and both were on Easy career setting, but the DD escorts and their convoys continue to do the same tactic: DDs run in fear about 30km NW while convoy splits into 2 or 3 sections and basically drops anchor so I can bust out my deck gun and torch them with impunity.

Not sure if that is a sensor fix so much as AI tweaking and I don't know what is necessary to do that.
