Mysterious Fog??

Hi all.

Is it just me or does the light fog only ever appear when a convoy (or for that matter, any enemy ship) comes within striking distance?

I'm finding that when i'm just cruising along to my next waypoint the sea's are (mostly) calm and visibility is perfect but as soon as a convoy or small group of ships are detected by either radar or sonar the dreaded fog always seems to not be far behind them!!!

Its getting a little frustrating.

Anybody else notice the same??:hmm:

Not me, I don't see fog all that often, In fact, I don't think I have ever seen fog outside of my quick missions

Anyway, Welcome to the Twilight Zone, We almost have enough people to start our own Army (or Navy)

Default Debug your shader scripts.

Bugs are eating your lightshaft or fog shader scripts.

I find fog a great opportunity. If I get a sonar bearing and head to them for the most part I will always see them visually before they pick me up so I have a field day with my deck gun and torpedoes firing on my visual bearings.

I will either avoid the escorts knowing they can not see me and do not hear me since I am surfaced or I pick them off first by sitting at periscope depth and allowing them to hear me. When they come towards me I will plot a quick coarse so I have my deck gun lined up on them and fire at them before they can ever see me.

I sink them first then go after the merchants.

fog is your friend
