400 YARDS? That could REALLY be a big part of the problem. Some how, I had it in my mind that my fish were arming at around 250 yards.

Anyway, I'm taking my computer over to the place where I bought it and I'm going to get control of this thing. LOL

Well, I have discovered the source of my enemy's superhuman strength. I need to update my video card.

I was talking to my local 'puter guru about this and he asked me about the video card. He suggested that I bring a copy of the game and load it onto his Ferrari of gaming computers and so, we did. On THAT computer, I was killing destroyers like shooting beer cans off of a fence. (EMPTY beer cans of course

) The game was fun again.

I know that there is a technical explanation for this. Years ago, I was really into Grand Prix Legends. With that sim, the computer needed to maintain a minimum of 30 frames per second. Otherwise, I would put in some signal such as clutch, brakes or steering and the computer would put that command in the cue and process it when it got to it. I was constantly driving off the road, missing shifts and crashing my car. There was never any consistency. Now, it seems I've had the same problem and it hasn't been until I started getting better and the careers and missions started getting more complicated that the problem made itself manifest.

This certainly seems to be the proper explanation because I can go back and start a new career and run a sim from square one. I have no problems because, at first, I'm only shooting basically one ship at a time.

Uh-oh. Be advised attempting to run SH4 on a laptop with a Celeron CPU and integrated graphics is a court martial offense, usually punishable by keelhauling.

To check framerates hit CTRL F8 and you'll get an FPS counter at upper left.

Oooohh! Keelhauling sounds like fun! I've never done that before.

I just tried out the F8 while attacking a large convoy. Yup, frame rate dropped to 16fps.
