Hi everyone,
i have a question about sinking mechanic in this great mod. So, consider that i hit a ship with two torpedoes, it stopped and is rolling to starboard. how can i know, that ship is going to sink somewhen. or if there are no sinking dynamic (in, say, 30 mins), i should hit it more? thanks in advance. |

Return to NB Guam Issue
In Tench, left from NB Guam on January 11, 1945 to patrol ECS. Snagged 65,000 tons and headed back to Guam after spending all torpedos. Took a precautionary Save at about 1,080 NM from NB Guam as of Game Day January 28, 1945 and proceeded. Arrived on 1/30/1945, was awarded a NC, and went to dock. Nothing. CTD.
Reloaded the Save game from Game Day January 28. Took another Save at 100 NM from Guam on January 30, 1945 and proceeded to dock. Was awarded a Bronze Star this time (interesting that it changed) and requested to dock. Nothing. Another CTD I can email the Save file (either one), but they don't show an arrival back to NB Guam. Never had a CTD on arrival to a base!

If you have the Save with the Navy Cross, I'll take that, or the one with the Bronze Star, but you'd probably want to try to keep the higher award... lol - my guess is that the next mission assignment is crashing you... maybe...
- if you want to include the whole folder, I might be able to fix this and send you the whole thing back... but it might not be a small enough archive... |

elite DD exhibit different qualities/performance
ok, so i need this explained to me. in small words.
i encounter a convoy with elite DD as escorts. i am able to close to within 10,000 or 11,000 yds on the surface and go undetected, even in daylight. i encounter a task force with elite DD as escorts and approx 15,000 yds they are on me like ants on cole slaw. like pest bees on an open soda can. this is consistent behavior in each situation. oh, and there are no aircraft overhead, on patrol, in either situation. why is there a performance difference when the DD's are the same?

mod-set does not matter. i suspect that it is a build-in, unexpected feature (think bug) in SH4. Quote:
basically, we are heading toward the enemy head-on, whether is a convoy or a task force. the difference being that the TF escort is s few thousand yards more observant that their convoy counterpart.

Reply sent back, with an edited Save folder. All I can see is an early assignment of the Tench boat - which apparently does just like the Balao in that regard... The boat has mission assignments to be used for an early command assignment, but since the boat does not become active at Guam (or anywhere for that matter) until January 1st, 1945, and you are trying to dock on December 24, 1944, the game does NOT like it since the boat is not "officially" active... If the edited Save file does not function properly, then go somewhere for a few days and dock sometime after January 3rd, 1943 at 0001 hours, and see if it doesn't allow you to dock without crashing. Let us all know how it goes, please! Thanks. |

Insert Palau Island 01
PB,
we are about to embark on this mission assignment and there are notes to the effect that there may be some unexpected features. just wanted to give you a heads-up in case you are looking for some specific feedback. this mission has two objectives: drop-off and recon-photo. km

both objectives were completed without issue: the camera worked and the target ships were present to have their photos taken. we sank them, so my apologies if we were supposed to leave them for a later date. however, everything in this area of SoWesPac is deadsville. based on previous experiences, i expected some traffic between Davao and Palau and between the Home Islands and Palau but there is nothing happening. D-E-D dead.

Was that the Burfish mission? Was there a pictures, drop-off and recover, or just the drop-off and pictures? There were more than two missions to Palau for recon work for pre-invasion look-sees... The Burfish mission is the more complex version, with the insertion and attempted pick-up of the UDT fellows off Yap, that only a portion show-up for recovery. The landings on that island were cancelled because of the fears of the 3 swimmers of the team having been captured and tortured...
A link with several other links of the story: http://www.missingaircrew.com/yap2.asp They are still looking for them: https://www.projectrecover.org/search-wwii-udt-palau/ I think I put a pdf of the story in the Research folder - maybe... If not, I do have that somewhere on this computer... dig dig dig... As for DED traffic, what was the date? The "seams" between mis files from like 43a to 44a should not happen as badly as in stock, but there is still a bit of that... I'll take another look-see at those, and maybe put the "tweeners" back in that we built back in the day... |
