Tanker at ~ 7800 yards, SO reports no sound contact, but at the sonar station it sounds like a freight train. Fairly new... have I missed a checkbox?

Typical with fresh crews. Best to get them some experience and they will develop into fine young sonar ops.

I noticed two graphical issues. It could be driver related, I'm not sure. First off, while manning the deck gun (manning it myself), if I traverse the gun, I'll get some artifacting in the form of green blocks appearing/disappearing. Once the gun stops traversing, the artifacting stops. The second issue I noticed was during stormy weather. The sea towards the horizon remained flat calm and blue, while the sea in the immediate area of the boat was indicative of a stormy sea. It's almost as if the scene is not being fully drawn. I'm useng an ATI X1650pro, and the drivers are on the dated side. I haven't updated because I have no issues with any other applications, includeing a heavily modded IL2 1946. Any ideas fellas? Thanks.

Would it be possible for someone to tell me how to get the sonar lines back on the navigation map. Sorry to say that my level of play is not as advanced as most people.

I get the same thing. Could anyone tell me if it is possible to get the improvements of RFB 2.0 whilst at the same time keeping the visuals from stock (i.e the external environment, waves etc).

I'm having a problem similar to Camero, only more consistent... I've played a total of four war patrols in two separate campaigns (US 1941) with RFB 2.0 + patch, and have never been depth charged a single time. The DD's hear me just fine, come charging over pinging, then circle around, passing right above me over and over, without ever dropping any charges. Eventually I realized that I could run around at flank speed at periscope depth, loading torpedos and taking potshots at aircraft carriers, as if the DD's weren't even there. One of them actually ran into my periscope once while I was ignoring them, but again dropped no charges.

If I surface the escorts DO engage me with their guns (although their aim sucks big time), but under ten feet of water I am invincible.

Is there a fix for this? I have a clean 1.5 install with RFB 2.0 + patch as the only mod.

Interesting...

I should also mention that the sea was glassy smooth which does not help to explain the rapid rocking back and forth the DD's were doing. Must have been a hell of a party on those boats!

dacoobob · 03-20-10, 01:47 PM

Of the dozens of destroyers and cruisers who failed to depth charge me, a few were doing the rocking-back-and-forth thing, but they were a minority. I don't think it's related (at least in my case).

If you are playing with the external cam on take a good look at the escorts on the surface they all missing the deadcharge racks,they can hear you but they cannot damage you,i report this a while back

OlegM · 03-20-10, 06:12 PM

Any timeframe for the new patch? I was under impression few days ago it's mere hours from completion....

Thanks, I didn't think about the crew being deaf... I mean fresh.

Unfortunate I have had some that for whatever reason were very deaf. Its a real pain, but if you are patient get them a shorter cruise while still sinking some tonnage you can get back to port and that helps with experience and you can trade a few in for better folks. Its a maddening challenge at times but warts and all its what we have.
