If any of you play RA on maps that were saved in Lwami or Stock 1.04 you're going to get errors.

For example, when I loaded a stock map one of my enemies started not as a sub but as a torpedo and he disappeared when he ran out of fuel.

So know what you're doing people, know what you're doing.


The russian torpedos all work very well and I've used many of them with great success, especially the airdropped. I do not recommend APR-2ME's unless for extreme precision strikes on runners.

SSN ASW works very well when the third digit in 'run to enable' is put to "1", setting the torpedo to active (not documented in the weaps manual).


kind regards,

Paul

Well its refreshing to read someone that at least praises the russian weapons deadly accuracy.

As for the undocumented part, actually it is written in the weapons manual but in the section regarding the virginias subrocs. Thats why it is important to read ALL the weapons manual.

Wrong. It doesn't say in the UUM-125B Sea Lance that it's settings also apply to SSN-27 ASW.

Further, at 005 sealance is active, at 005 ASW is passive. At 105 ASW is active.


If there are modes to the SSN-27 ASW and apparently there are, they are to be explained under the section dedicated to SSN-27 ASW and they aren't, nor are they explained anywhere else in the manual.
