Torpedoes run too deep (Bug)

Alnor · 06-06-07, 07:49 AM

Mmm... i'm talking with historians eh? Well, last patrol - december 1944 - i shoot all of my torps (twelve at th end) with no explosions. Each one, sets to zero depth - tun across (not above but... across) cargo and carriers. Someone "historian" has some report about crossing torpedoes in pacific thater, late 1944? Or maybe was in... area 51?

historic regards

I think they run too deep. The game originally was set up in metric and then apparently changed to Imperial yet I believe the depths and distances are still calculated at metric although we think we are using Imperial.

What.

Note to me, don't drink alcohol and read posts of this nature.

.

The game interface shows Imperial settings, feet, yards, yet, the game is still running as if it is metric. In other words, the feet/yards eye candy are there but the game is still running as if it is metric. So a meter is 3 inches longer than a yard. We see one yard (36 inches) set but it is actually 39 inches when conversion is made.

Well a "smart" skipper would be aware of this problem and set there torpedoes a litte less deep

He did say he set them to zero. The fact is that deep running was a problem; but it was fixed by late 1943. In 1944 he shouldn't be having that problem.

So it's a feature then.
