Thank you for making it clear Trevally, and my regards to TheBeast for his neat conclusion

What a pity - I have just a week ago cleared out my inbox.

It had the whole discussion, test files and missions where it was all tested

Don't worry Trevally, what matters is the lesson we have learned from those tests. If needed, test missions and files can be redone in a matter of minutes

I made a test for the enemy submarines and the Friendly Destroyers, The Friendly destroyers are useless when it come to depth charges, they barely use them, probably once in the test, they just circle around where the subs are underwater, and just wait for them to surface.
Is this meant to happen?

Depth charges were more of a harassing tool. You had to get really lucky to actually get a kill with one.

Boat commanders would use them sparingly to try to harass the crew into surfacing.

Otherwise, if you can ping away with active sonar, it's really only a matter of time before they have to come up.

Having said that, I'm not sure if IRAI is just trying to be hyper real in your situation, or if it is actually a bug.

Was this with IRAI enabled? What was mission's date? What veterancy level were the friendly destroyers set to?

what depth was the water

V13dweller · 01-22-13, 05:58 AM

The depth was about 40 meters and IRAI was enabled. The date was 1942 1st of December, and the crews of both the subs and ships were veteran.
