Funny Testing moment with BB

[Bubblehead1980]

Testing out some new visual sensors for battleships in TMO Update V2.0. I have them engaging at 15-20000 yards now, wanted to see if could get even close to historical ranges would engage with big guns so tweaked sensors a bit.

I set up a Yamato v. Iowa. They were slugging it opened fire at roughly 18000 yards from one another. Clear calm down, believe detected on radar first judging by behavior.


They sped up so I surfaced in order to catch up. I was far enough away Yamato did not detect me. However, I was a little too close to Iowa . I was watching via binoculars and the external "next prev unit" cam.


Yamato let loose forward and aft 18 inch gun salvos.. I went back to look at Iowa and heard sounds of my sub being hit...damage reports piled in, crew screams, pipes bursting. I went to interior view and then to external view, my sub was gone. I went back to internal view, nothing worked. When went to external view, nothing under water, saw a few bubbles near surface.


Apparently 18 inch gun fire which missed Iowa hit my boat, destroying it but sim did not end the mission, even though boat was dead. lol


I've ran into this bug before...never been taken out by gunfire like that. Freak thing too, with gunfire missing Iowa and hitting me. No they had not detected, they cant detect a sub at such ranges. lol

was this a single mission or a war patrol? or a career mission?

Campaign. I set the engagement up in a traffic layer in 1945 to test the visuals will delete before release) . I pretty much always test in campaign since things tend to work differently in stand alone missions. One would think they do not but they do.


In final release there will be opportunities s for Iowa and Yamato to engage in battle, not one on one of course. Actually in V1.0 of the update. 50/50 chance Lee's battle line will be blocking San Bernadino strait when Kurita's Center Force is retiring from Samar battle evening of October 25. As we know it did not happen because Lee was dispatched too late, but I added it in as a little what if scenario and as said 50 percent chance it will or will not happen. , depends if Lee's group spawns or not. Observed it twice in testing for V1.0, it was pretty cool. I have not tested it in V2.0 yet, look forward to seeing how the engage at longer ranges now.


Second chance is off Okinawa, if Yamato makes it through air strikes, will run into the Battle Line , believe was under Admiral Deyo, which was in position to intercept but planes sunk her first.
