[REQ] Need feedback on wamphyri plane attack mod version 1.0

wamphyri · 04-06-10, 12:30 AM

Topic sums it up. I've been doing more testing etc etc and have been able to reproduce that with version 1.0 planes that should attack aren't. Here's how to know what to look for. Near a small British airbase (almost all the ones around britain are these) you should get an avro anson with a speed of around 130kn and also a hurricane with a speed of around 230kn. The hurricane will be in groups of 2 and the anson by itself.

The anson shouldn't and won't fire on you. The hurricane should alter course and shoot at you. But i'm not seeing this. The only way to know the difference between the 2 is to check the speed of the plane or to go to external view and go and look up close.

I just need to know if others are getting the same results as me.

I've been running your mod since day one and still have not been attacked.
I thought maybe I just wasn't being jumped by the right planes.
I tried changeing the settings to be like the mod I have for ship's AI, but that didn't work.
I will start keeping a log of which planes I see, and fly over me from now on. Once I see a pattern I'll let you know.

Guess I need to get out my set of Plane Identification cards !

Interesting .. what version did you start with? Did you install my mod during a campaign? I just need as much info so I can figure out what to test and fix. Thx sgtmonkey

kylania · 04-06-10, 01:10 AM

I installed it during a campaign, but while in port. I've so far seen 5 planes fly over, hurricanes three times and biplanes twice. None attacked me or had external weapons.

Also they were all single flights, not two plane flights I'd always gotten before. This is during the Happy Times campaign, and all the contacts were in late evening into night just NW of Brest.

I'll take better logs from now.

Sgtmonkeynads · 04-06-10, 01:17 AM

I used the very first one and the lattest. I installed both in port. The second at the begining of a career.
There is only one release, right ? All I have is 1.0

I started with 0.1 .. I replaced the downloads with each release.

Sgtmonkeynads · 04-06-10, 02:02 AM

Alright, I've been up to date then. I will still give a report sometime tommorrow, if the R.A.F. cooperates. Maybe I will just sail around Britain and see what happens and right it down. Either way

Oh on a side note : I am curently in late 1940 and saw a flight of probably ten B-17's comeing in from the west over the ocean at high altitude. Nothing wrong with that except the date.

wamphyri · 04-06-10, 02:54 AM

Good info .. I need more variables to figure out what the dev's have done.

Sgtmonkeynads · 04-06-10, 02:57 AM

Oh, we know what the devs didn't

So my orders for the day are to sail around britain useing your mod as normal, correct. Will Do.

This may be the first "mission" that will actually accomplish something !
Maybe this is the way we all should start playing from now on, playing to gather intel for moders !

Been away from SH5 for a little, but did instal your mod (mid campaign) and did get straffed by Hurricanes somewhere off Scotland. They did some light damage to the sub which was quickly repaired. Prior to your mod everything flew peacefully overhead!

Regards

I have seen patrol of 2 planes in version 0.5
Haven't time to test 1.0 yet :/

7thSeal · 04-06-10, 05:00 PM

I've been using 1.0 since its release and have been attacked on just about every patrol. I find that its often when they're in pairs (hurricane) usually both of them will strafe me. I'm nearly always out of ammo when returning for a refill or ending a mission (AI hits them more often than I do

). I've recently started a new campaign and still have the VIIA so I'm not far at all currently.

I've also seen a fair share that will pass on by not bothering to attack... its always random if they'll attack you or not.

Edit\ Here's a shot I recently posted in the screenshot thread of me getting hammered.

SteelViking · 04-06-10, 08:40 PM

Same here with 1.0 Wamphyri. I have ran it for several months in game and have never been attacked by Hurricanes(pair of fast flyers). I have been attacked multiple times by some single planes, but I cannot confirm what they were, sorry......The second I see a plane turn towards me, things get kind of flaky.

7thSeal · 04-06-10, 08:51 PM

Try this area and see if you get buzzed by a pair of hurricanes, they seem to pay me visit whenever I take a shortcut through here.

SteelViking · 04-06-10, 09:55 PM

7thSeal, on your advice I patrolled the indicated area for 4 days, and though it is a prime area to see Hurricanes(a lot of them) I was never actually attacked by them. I know I have the mod installed right, for instance I almost never see planes at night with it, even in heavily patrolled areas. So I wonder what the difference is.
