Matrix Games Forums

I am having a memory lapse, and sadly my search skills of the forum have degraded to the point of non-existence.

Recently looking at the torpedo devices, I note that the following in a Ironman 3 special file:
Allied torpedos
Load cost = total torpedo wgt in kg
Effect = total torpedo warhead in lbs

IJN torpedos
Load cost = total torpedo wgt in kg
Effect = total torpedo warhead in kg * 0.90 (approximately)

I understand the 0.90 reduction of the IJ warhead effectiveness due to their challenges in manufacturing high grade explosive, but the lbs v kg. I seem to remember a discussion about this WAY back, but of course I can't find it.

I suspect this has been corrected in the more current updates and I just am using an archaic file.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Yep confirmed that all the corrections that JWE, Symon, et al did are in the latest version and my version simply did not have them all. So, all is good.

FYI: in the "corrected" version, the LC does NOT = total weight and the Effect does NOT = total warhead weight. They clearly looked at the alogrithm and while the two values are likely derived from the weights, they have been significantly 'adjusted' for factors that have not been disclosed. This is not a surprise, they stated that this is what they were doing. With the torpedoes, the values have just been 'adjusted' more than most other devices. This would indicate that detonator type and effectiveness are key factors in the torpedo effect and that the torpedo engine type is a key factor in the LC. Just goes to show the depth of the engine in this game. Again, kudos to the devs.

Hey Pax, Which version are you talking about. I think I missed something....GP
