Destroyers destroying themselves (Or something like that)

V13dweller · 03-31-13, 04:12 AM

i have been trying to test a scenario using the type type 1936N destroyer, I have added some extra depth charge throwers, two pairs in the middle, and one pair at the front, and now the destroyers seem to just randomly explode, some survive, some just blow into 2 pieces, they are just exploding on the water, and this is ruining my tests on the hydrophones and Sonars.

Could anyone help me with this?

Edit, I think It might be caused by the blast radius of the Basic depth charge being too large, is there any way to reduce this enough that destroyers are not blowing themselves up?
Edit again, I believe that I have solved it myself.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Third Edit, It was that the Standard Depth charge has an explosion radius of 60, and the Kguns have a minimum throwing distance of 50 meters.

If people want this fix, I might upload it as a mod, it increases the Standard Kguns range to 60 meters.

I would be very interested in a fix because I'm experiencing the same problem. Alternatively I'd like to know which file I need to edit. In the FX Tutorial mission, I just need to dive to 30 meters and the two warships are practically sinking themselves with their own depth charges.

Very annoying issue

Maybe that's because they don't accelerate enough when dropping, and some destroyers are too close from each others when dropping too...

I fixed the problem quite a while ago, I reduced the blast radius from 60 down to 50, because the minimum throw distance is 50 meters, and if you want, I could upload this little fix for you.

Sure, V13!

I used the Default SH5 Depth charge radius, which is 40 meters, but this is for the safety of the ships, because small and slow ship like the flower corvette may be cruising at a low speed, and attempt to attack a sub that is close on it's port side, then fire it's Kgun and it might not be able to escape, especially if it was turning into the target to bomb them with the DC racks. If you object, or want it increased, just let me know. http://www.mediafire.com/?e2zc89jrmdkd8wk
