[FIXED v1.11] pb with sub when transit to patrol

Post by figabo »

Hello

i have a problem with subs (for instance a type VIIC submarine) going on patrol (ASuW).

i put for transit Throttle full/milatry speed, transit altitude 0, but they go systematically on batteries instead of fuel
and at a depth of -131.
if i change mission to cruise, loiter, or flank, there is no change.

how to get them transit to their patrol zone using fuel, surfaced (or periscope depth) ?

thanks a lot !

ps : after some times they go at 4 kts at -66 ft....

just make others tries :

transit : rank/Afterburner.

submarine go at 131 ft/ speed 9 kts (battery). After some minutes, submarine go to -66 feet, speed 4 kts (cruise).

At full speed using fuel, the submarine can go to 9 kts.

Submarines in real life would never transit on the surface.

Also cruise/loiter/flank/afterburner are aircraft speeds, not submarine speeds.

Also much more than 4 kts would be impractical for diesel-electric submarines over much distance.

Did you set the mission to use the overrides instead of the loadout defaults? I've been bitten by that in the past...

i have put the scen attached. Load it with editor, switch to japan, and assign one of the japan submarines to japPATROLsub mission
(which is defined at transit throttle full milatry). After some minutes, it will go at 4 kts (and same if i put rank or cruise)

Yeah we're gonna give that part a workover :)

Speed/altitude pre-sets currently only work for aircraft.

It drops to 4kt, -66m because its battery drops to about 75%. Consistently for all boats, it goes to snorkeling depth when battery its 75%. Not sure why, but it does. And after the battery recharges, it never goes back on the profile for the mission. In fact, if you unassign it from the mission, let it get below 75% battery, then assign it, it stays at -131 until battery is drained and never switches back to engine snorkel.

Devs might have to look at how diesel boats run their profiles.
