Then I attached a torpedo model to the shell, with the shell having an UnderWaterFloatingObject controller. When fired the shell didn't lose any height and the torpedo headed into the right direction. But for some reason it just disappeared after a seemingly random distance... Of about 20 torpedoes fired at a target at a distance of 1500 m only one made it to the target (and exploded as it should). |

You all are doing a great job on this mod. I am really happy that we are gonna have surface ships in SH4.

UPDATE: USS Idaho: (New Mexico Class) P1) Left Pearl Harbour for Marshall Islands, Got there with 64% fuel left, Refueled at a new moving re-supply ship(part of my new Re-supply ship chain). Engaged enemy shipping and task forces: sunk ~12,000 tons of cargo, ~23,000 of warships, sunk my Yamato class SBB. USS Colorado: P1) Left Pearl Harbour for Honshu, re-supplied twice, sunk by air attack.() HMS Tartar(Tribal Class): ran out of ammo, sunk, many problems with ships

This mod is something I've been waiting since Destroyer Command, but are you going to release the ships separately when they are completed or do we need to wait for them until the mod itself is released?

You really need to change the fuel values on these ships, they are supposed to last much more than submarines in the ocean
Also, change the missions, one doesn't send a BB to patrol off Honshu without air cover, not unless one wants the BB to die a horrible miserable death

Heck, I'd be surprised if any large ship had the range of a fleet boat. Asashio (DD) made 5700nm at 14 knots, but only 360nm at 34 knots. That means she'd use ~10% of her fuel for every hour at flank. Refueling was a constant issue for navies, particularly in the PTO. <edit> some CVs look to have had very long range.

There is a great article at combinedfleet.com about the Solomons campaign, and how bunker oil supplies (or lack, thereof) contributed to Japanese tactics. Look around there, you'll find it someplace. The gist was that the amount of oil required to sortie the whole fleet down the Slot was prohibitive to do often.
