Funny moments in SH4

Incubus · 08-29-07, 11:33 PM

There were a lot of funny glitches/odd behavior in SH3 that I observed- DDs blowing themselves up with their own depth charges in shallow water, Catalinas plowing into each other head-on, etc.

What funny weirdness exists in this game? So far, two come to mind, involving aircraft.

Sometimes when you catch a piece of an enemy plane, it seems to be unaffected as your watch crew shakes their fists in anger at the fleeing Val. However anger turns to joy when the aerial radar contact suddenly starts spinning like a top ten miles out and crashes into the ocean

Recently on a patrol near Hokkaido I observed a HK search plane fly overhead, head to the coast, and crash into a mountain

Pilot error?

The best I have had was a battleship that was slowly sinking by capsizing, i ran time compression and when i saw the red wreck on the map i returned to normal time and when checking out the horizon with the periscope the ship had turned 180 degrees but was almost entirely out of the water! I have a screen shot that i will have to dig out....

Kamikaze pilots

At least with TMaru 1.5 you could sometimes trick Jap pilots to fly into the sea, provided that they didn't hit your conning tower on the way

Planes would often come in very high, and then try to dive bomb me. When I complicated things a little by turning into them and ordering flank speed, they would try to keep my sub in their sights by pushing the stick forward, resulting in a growing diving angle. AI pilot + steeper than intended diving angle + higher than intended speed = KABOOOM. If I was lucky they would only crash into the sea, and not straight onto my sub

I tracked two merchants heading straight for a island. The gleefully sailed up on the beach and exploded. Perhaps a new arm of the Kamakaze:hmm:

I ran over the sumberged aft section of a Kongo BB. No impact modelling for the loose.

Early on in the game, I didn't realize that there was a 'Rescue Survivor' icon that had to be clicked in the binocular mode in order to rescue the pilot in the life raft. I got so fed up with him bouncing down the side of my boat that in the end I ran his ass over and went about my business!
