I am using UWAC mod with my own AI detection settings, if you have a problem of Uber DDs/DEs you can try my settings, you will have a good Silent Running protection if you dont have the bad luck to be pinged. You must to prepair your attack to be away from the active beam.

Thx for the reply. Yes, I am using SH3 Commander 2.6. I dl'ed your file and will try tonight, when I get home. Do you have any idea in what way could SH3 Commander influence the AI? Especially as in my case it wasn't even an uber DD, it was an uber Armed Trawler, which should have only poor asw capabilities. Anyway, I will try the next mission without SH3 Cmdr, to see if the uber AI is still there.

Nop... i dont know, but i note a wide variation on AI detection capabilities when i was using it.

May be you dont need my files then.... may be it is fited with too effective sonars and needs to be edited.

I never take time on an armed trwaler, may be due to this i never note this behaviour before.

I will "disturb" the next armed trwler i found in my campaign to test if i have the same behaviour.

nm: I got all from uboot realsimulation and got the game to work after visiting the help section on your website--minor suggestion: include some of that info in the readme.... Thanks for your work!!

EDIT: I love you!!! you included the big dials and the TDC Slideout mod so I don't have to manually install these indespensable mods!!! Thank you!

Year is 1940, during the Dunkirk retreat. I see the convoy activity, head there, hunt a convoy, stay at peri-depth. Escort sees my scope and in moments I get 1 DD, 1 armed trawler and an Elco on my tail. To see what happens, I keep my periscope up - a real beacon. They fall in and start ramming me like crazy. I got rammed about 7-8 times, the u-boat rolls +/-90 degrees, conning tower gets to horizontal several times, but... I GET NO DAMAGE!!! And depth remains the same, at 13-14 meters. And no casualty. All this while DC-ing me at pinpoint range. I play 87% realism or somewhere around (only eventcam and outside view activated), of course with realistic damage enabled.
Is this normal behavior if rammed, with UWAC?

Really no... i am UWAC user too, and when i am ramed, i receive lot of damage, coning flaks, deck gun, conning tower, both periscopes, antenas.... some times in yellow, some times in orange, and some times in read with no repair option. :hmm:

Then maybe it's some other mod I installed atop UWAC. I'll try to leave just standard UWAC 1.92 installed, without nothing else, and provoke a similar situation. I'm curious who the culprit is.

Do you use drifters realistic repair times?

Yes, I do, in the version designed for UWAC.

In that version there are realistic repair times but drifter changed the damage mode of the uboat so your armor is much stronger! With my next version the damag model will be like my old and realistic repair times!

Thanks for answering. What is the ETA of next UWAC, pls? I'm impatiently waiting for it. And apart from a new sub damage model, what changes will it bring, if you can disclose them?

[dcb]

Great news and great changes. My favorites are:
- the English radio log - adds a lot to immersion for non-German speakers;
- the sonar CTD removed - I identified it in the hydrophone message settings (.cfg file, if I remember well) of v1.92, which I replaced with those of stock v1.9 - after that no CTD; the problem mentioned by wovik earlier;
- removing sonar of armed trawlers - I got pinpoint DC'ed by them;
- and, of course, getting rid of the super-strong u-boot hull.
Keep up the great work!!!

May be posible to make this optional, the problem is, sure this mod change or needs a fatigue model dedicated.

Some of us are not users of fatigue behaviour, i had removed it, i consider it very anoying and not interesting, i am not the nurse of my crew .

May be posible an optional installation of Real Repair Time for non fatigue users ?

Many thanks for job and effort.....
