Maria y Victoria Torpedo Problem(s)
Posted: Thu Dec 26, 2013 2:02 am
Playing the scenario "Maria y Victoria" I noticed two issues.
1) The ARA's torpedoes (edit: #2216 - SST-4 Mod 1 Seeal) have a ludicrously conservative DLZ estimate. We're talking torpedoes with a nominal range measured in double digits and speed of 35kts that won't fire within 2.5nm of a target as its "outside of DLZ.
2) OK, maybe employing torpedoes is meant to be a player skill-cap exercise. No problem, I launch the torpedoes bearing-only... and they detect nothing. I confirmed that their sonar was on, weaved them back and forth over the target (with ease, I might add, the DLZ is far too conservative) but nothing bit. The fish simply ran out of juice eventually and went silent.
Now this could be operator error of some kind, perhaps there is a step I'm missing in DLZs and manually guiding torpedoes, but re-reading the manual gives me no hints.
Save game attached, the submarine is already in striking range of a RN frigate.
