:rotfl:, I too like IJN CA's are nice looking ships! but I do not like the IJN DD's or the F4F

Me personally, among ship nuts, regard pretty much anything IJN to be sexy...Kongo class especially...maybe that means i have an affinity for the brit ships too?:rotfl:

Also played with reducing number of engines etc. in the UPCGE file. Will have another go at messing with engine power, but susepct that it can't be done with the .SIM file.

Maybe there's a graph file or something somewhere to change. Am going to have a look around. Maybe a more experienced modder knows where to look ?

Polyfiller,

I have not done any testing but thought I might throw out an idea. What if you used your numbers for drag, etc to slow acceleration but give it a false max speed. Don't increase the power on the engines just a higher max speed. For example lets just say max speed is 20 Knots and your drag numbers make it max out at 11knots. So if you set the max speed to 30 knots, without increasing engine power, could it be possible to decrease the acceleration but get the top speed back to 20 knots?

Just an idea.

The AI don't do anything other than to follow waypoints, EXCEPT for Escorts (unit types 0-4).

It might be interesting to change surface units all to that type, and see if they will vary from their waypoints.

pozine · 01-11-09, 05:52 PM

yes, its what i think too,
make all surface units have an attack path /patrol
it will take time but it will worth it.

also, make the destroyers fear you, trying to approach you, zigzagging to avoid shells and then release a salvo of torps.

make the collision model better, when you ram a DD at flank, the destroyer will break in two.

good luck!!

add it to the scripted chunks of the campaign, the hardest part is the waypoints.

they already do that, minus the salvo of torps, zigzagging little buggers

i can swear i wrote about this before, but, you only ram when you are out of torps, shells, and your decks are ablaze. otherwise, ramming will make you have to go into drydock for far longer than you need to. its better just to blow the guy to mars with ur guns. also, im sure most DDs won't break in half if rammed broadside.

Chinese U-47 said he might be able to help us after his mod is done. So it is up to us to finish V1 atm

My patrol with the HMS King George V:

Left Liverpool, got to Fremantle, was attacked by 3CL's, 5DD's, sunk.

Thoughts: BB was a little weak to sink from the small force it was attacked by.

Sledgehammer427 · 01-12-09, 07:58 AM

that actually seems about right.
considering the force, even a human can die from so many beestings

weird, I succeeded in sinking 3 enemy BBs a while ago...
Guess it were my fabulous tactics...
Running away with ahead flank and attacking the enemy beyond the AIs engagement range

pozine · 01-12-09, 10:18 AM

i tryed a carreer with the North Carolina class ship and rammed a CL, the cruiser were destroyed and capsized ( i dont know if it is the appropriate term in english )

they think youre a sub and when they are at 10 meters of me BOOM, i relese a shell salvo and the DD explode.
