Got to the firing position, launched three torpedoes from about 7 kilometers from target. Turned around and started to leave. The destroyers spotted my torpedoes and woke up and charged to my direction. Then I got a

moment: one of the escorts turned towards the torpedo and exploded! She took the bullet that was ment for the Battleship! Have to respect that... Then other escorts spotted me and started firing, I quickly dove, but got a little beating, hull to 79 %. The other two torpedoes continued their path and hit the Battleship. NO CTD! Hooray, the new IRAI truly fixes this issue.

So I continued my escape, could hear the escorts pinging, but it seemed that the got stuck (the shallow water issue) and they never depth charged me and didn't follow me further. Because the BB didn't seem to sink yet, I did another attack run, destroyers were still stuck and didn't bother me. This time the BB went down, no CTD.

So some clitches still, but atleast the big crash is history. The other crash remainded, no idea what could cause it. Oh, and I could see that many of the torpedo boats were on fire at the moment I saw them.

Still, it was fun!

Thanks Rongel - sounds like it is getting better

My thanks, Trevally! I, for one, can hardly wait!

Thanks Quink

Madagascar:
Majanga
Tamatave, now Toamasina Added

(several U-boat patrol routes indulged between northern Madascar, and Seychelles, probably for the presence of shipping around the islands)

Quote:

Seychelles:
Victoria Added

(see above)

Quote:

Gulf of Aden:
Aden
(this location, and still it is, a strategical port of call at the entrance of the Red Sea. Many ships form and to the Mediterranean stopped here)

Quote:

Persian Gulf:
Bandar Abbas Added

(this port is just at the entrance of the gulf, so it could be an hot spot for our fishing parties)

All have also been stocked with ships and defenses

Quote:

Also, it would be nice to have at least one port into the Red Sea or Mediterranean, just to see allied ships passing through the Mandab Strait, whenever we go to patrol that area.

The full Atlantic paths and harbours are still there - they are just not showing in the image as I have set the Asia objects/paths in new layers.
So you will see ships from the Med heading to the Indian Ocean

I will start on the air layer tomorrow

Good Lord, Trevally, talk about labors of love! I've no doubt that Operation Monsun will be one of the most comprehensive campaigns in the whole game.

After completion of this product you'll be ready for a couple of months R&R in Shady Acres.

IMO you should seriously look back at your decision of not adding Aden harbour, but... hey man apart from that excellent work!

The yellow icons are the mines - as you can see in the profile view on the left, there are 50 mines per group and are spaced into 7 rows with 300m between.

The green icons are single subnets

volodya61 · 05-04-12, 12:28 PM

Thanks Trevally!

I found the subnets, but couldn't find mines

EDIT: And now I can make the screen.
