Re: A tactic in Sea Power...real or bullshit?

I think the biggest issue is setting up an enemy AI reaction to the firing. In Sea Power, you are very limited in getting the AI to do anything but a basic reaction. In CMO, you have a number of tools to react to being fired on. From firing down the bearing, running away, breaking ships out of the ...

Re: AutoSave Issue

Are you pulling the autosaves from the subfolder with the game name under the autosave folder?

I just tested it in 1706 and it seems to be working as expected.

Re: Any Smoke for Concealment?

To create something with more flexibility, a "visibility" setting might be better than just depending on fog/smoke specifically. Other games use that setting in every scenario and connecting it to zones would make it much easier.

Re: Day and night

I just started the Aegean Live DLC and after an hour, the datablock was still toggling periodically between night/day as I scrolled across the map. Zooming in seems to reduce the toggling slightly.

Re: Day and night

I wonder if you overlay time zones across the map, you might find a correlation. It doesn't change night/day, but might screw up CMO's interpretation of it as time zone exceptions are not considered.

Do you see any kind of performance hit with large overlays? And what can you expect file sizes to be? For example, the example you just showed.

I found this very enlightening and fairly easy to understand around how information was transferred for setting targets.

Re: Realistic Assessment of Mk48 Mod 4 Torpedo Damage Against Large Tankers in CMO

All I have seen in real life is a supertanker hit two mines during the Iran-Iraq war and all that did was superficial damage and the ship continued on its way. That's a 500 lb warhead on a very heavily compartmentalize ship. In the incident above the ship took on a negligible amount of water. In CMO ...

He is an expert on the matter so his speculations may be considered gospel truth compared with others opinions, rumors, etc.

In fact the game is using those 200 kms as max range, for a reason.

The truth is only known by the chinese military, and will only be public when tested in combat, and ...
