Thanks. I had that pesky Trawler at 650 yards when I fired and watched the Torpedo go right under him and not explode. I thought I had set it to 5 ft but I might have not.


At least when I torpedoed a DD 1 hit amidships and split her in two and the other hit the bow.

lol nice. Always fun to bag a DD. The bow shot aka "down the throat" when they come charging in, always fun. TMO escorts are tricky though, they wil usually start zigging back and forth, making it a difficult shot. I remember stock they would just come straight in lol.

MK 10's do run deep as well, not as much of a problem as MK 14 in 1942, but still run deep.

Years ago playing TMO I was on the surface running from a DD. At around 4K yards, I fired 2 stern torpedoes. And wouldn't you know it both hit. Couldn't believe it. I've bagged a DD or 2 with a down the throat shot.


Don't know if this is an issue or not but twice during Alaska patrols when my objective is to patrol near Attu for 5 days I never get a mission complete even after 10 days or more. It's been so long since I've played I don't recall if this is a stock or mod thing.

the issue is the patrol diameter and your presence inside of that patrol area for a specific period of time.
not sure if you are playing TMO 2.5 or BH's TMO-redux.

in TMO 2.5 it looks like most of the missions in the Aleutians use a 75 mile diameter for a patrol area. the mission description (home base) should tell you the patrol area diameter. In this mod-set the time spent in the patrol does not have to be continuous, meaning that you can come-and-go and your previous time in the patrol zone will count towards your total time objective.

in BH's TMO, the Attu patrols are 133, 108, 108, and 108 miles in diameter. In this mod-set, the time spent in the patrol zone must be continuous. if you leave the patrol area, the patrol-duration-timer is reset to zero when/if you return.

in order for you to get credit for a completed objective, you will need to remain in the patrol area for the specified period of time.

if you do that, the objective will change color and you will receive an objective-accomplished icon in the icon-box for a short period of time. (icon-box is where the battle station icon appears and the silent running icon appears, etc)


i hope this helps.

Nice! lol Always fun when those shots work. In 1944 when doing a lot of surface work, I try to load up stern tubes with MK 18's so if get a escort I can't outrun on surface like a DD or DE, down throat shot can save a boat from having to dive, often in shallow waters. Speaking of which, found the DTTS works well on tankers as well. Been inside large convoys at night after inital attack maneuvering around , found ships trying to ram me, cant get in for broad angle shot, so fired down the throat...big explosion when tanker is loaded.

In TMO, I have DD Harusame in Wewak Harbor Wahoo sunk in January 1943, which was torpedoed by WAHOO, the first successful use of a down the throat shot by US sub. Quite a challenge actually and waters are quite shallow, so its a do or die moment for sure. In V.20 I have the reconnoiter the harbor mission, which is what Wahoo was ordered to do.


Far as Attu patrol...

You have to stay within so many miles of the map mark for x amount of time and it has to be continuous. I did not alter patrol zones etc on last release so forget exact distance but within 100 nautical miles should be fine. Use tools to draw a circle 100 NM, patrol within for the 5-10 days as orders says, it should complete, but you have to stay within the area or timer resets.

That's what I was doing. I stayed inside the circle. Hmm.. It's strange that it will not complete for me. I think I had that issue before. Anyway, just asking. Since I'm early in my patrol I might just start over and see what happens.


Thanks.

Thanks.

I will look into it to make sure all looks right in the file. If you try again, just try 100 NM or less. Thanks for letting me know.

Opps, you replied before I finished editing. I think I'm wrong on the radius I just checked again and I was looking at the renown. The radius of the areas appear to be 150-200+ KM from center. Plenty of room.



I'm looking at the files to see how they are done. In the past I was tinkering around with some of the missions and I have forgotten how to do it. I lost all of my edited files and notes.



Just now radar picked up a target NE of Kiska at night and in a storm. Turned to intercept, and it was a freaking ICEBERG! Almost collided with it. Did you make it so that if your hit one it will do damage to the sub?
