[Resolved] Mine Sweeping is working?

[morphin]

Hi

I'm on latest version (Build 1134.1) and trying to sweep mines for houres. The minesweeping mechanical and magnetic and mine neutralization sensors are all over the mines but none explode

(For example the USS Gladiator MCm 11. See attachment)


I'm stupid or is something wrong whith this version?[;)]

You can clear this. The mines are not activated.
Maybe it should in future give the opportunity to clear also "not" active mines? ->Feauture Request maybe?

Thank's

Thanks morphin, we'll take a look and see what we can do to improve this [:)]

How do you sweep non-active mines?

With the exception of cutting mooring lines, "sweeping" generally means "trigger the mine fuze prematurely to make it explode harmlessly". How do you do this to a non-activated mine ?

How do you sweep non-active mines?

By placing an explosive charge adjacent to it by diver.




Or by placing an explosive charge adjacent to it with an ROV.




Or by striking it directly with something like the Atlas Elektronic SeaFox ROV, which carries its own warhead.




Unfortunately, I've had no luck getting any of these to work in play. I guess they're not implemented yet?

[Dimitris]

That's hunting though, not sweeping.

[Dimitris]

And hunting has been implemented from the very start, see here: http://www.warfaresims.com/?p=4408

If you come across any case where it's not working please open up a new thread per case, with a suitable save. Thanks!

The mine warfare tutorial though has helo’s that are equipped with the above mentioned ROV hard kill drones - dose not go into there use ( or at least that I saw)

[Dimitris]

We are adding some tweaks to the code that deal with:
1) Divers with explosives hunting specific mines
2) Cable-cutter sweeps that can sweep moored mines even when they have not activated yet.
