Battle of Kuban..the good and the bad

[WWGeezer]

It looks wonderful.  The morning mist clinging to the ground.  Waves lapping against the shore.  The enclosed bays have a flat green tint, other side of the break water deep blue.

 

The bad right now for me is the functionality of the mission builder and key components.  The torpedo boats kick but, flying across the water, but right now I can't seem to get any ships to engage in battle

 

 

Convoys and trains are not doing exactly what I would have expected either.  

 

One of the stranger graphic animation ones wast the torpedo launchers on the destroyer.  It didn't engage, but the guns did rotate, but the torpedos stay in place.

 

 

As always will remain patient, this team always comes thru in the end.

 

 

 

 

sorry about the double post!!

Hi WWGeezer,

 

I did hide the double post, no problem

Edit: Im sure some of the bugs/problems we find now wont be there by December, official release date, and other may take longer but hopefully are looked at.

How are convoys not doing what you expected?

Please elaborate 

[WWGeezer]

Spent a good part of the day on this, but most things are working now.  If I fly in the mission the ships take plenty of shots at me what was suprising me is they did not shoot at each other. Even at close range.

 

Movement was fine, just not attacking each other

 

Did manage to create a practice mission with an airstart at the highest altitude on the map.  Sunrise and snow caps getting my but handed to me by spitfires was pretty wonderful to look at

 

Here are a few screenies

I'm guessing your convoy problems were user error then.

Some train tracks through mountains are cut off at points that supposedly was a tunnel. In another occasion a little bug that I found, trees on the track that again brake the line (grid 328). If this happens then they train doesn't spawn at all or spawns and doesn't move. So check the length of the track for any problems.

 

Car convoys on mountain slopes depending on type of car can't keep the same speed, so better set bigger distances and slower speed overall.

 

Hope it helps.

Are torpedoes activated in this release. I was wondering how to trigger them to fire.

Now this is helpful information (take note Geezer)

That gives me something to go test - especially since I'll be making heavy use of large convoys as well.

Yes, if you set the waypoint on low, they fire itselsf like planes who engage as soon they see a target. It should work to if you use the command attack and command attack area.

Thanks for the heads up Habu

Hi dear colleagues,

 

while trying to setup a train convoy in the north between 0328 (TIMASHEVSKAYA) and 0624 (STARO-NIZHNE) i found a missing section of railway in 0328-4 after the bridge heading south-west.

Indeed, trees are replacing the track.

 

Cheers.
