[FIXED] anti-torpedo torpedo will not launch

[kritter]

According to the DB470 Packet-NK[MTT ASW] should be able to launch at depths of -800 to -10 meters. However it says
when I try it invalid depth. It wants to be at the surface or above. It makes sense that a sub should be able to launch this weapon under water. I have included a sub and just try a BOL with the weapon and see what it says.

Thanks

I couldn't launch a spearfish at first either but changed your WRA to free and no problem with a BOL.

Not sure for the anti-torpedo. Never used them. Possibly something else needs to be changed in WRA to use them bearing only? Or maybe they aren't eligible to be used bearing only and need a hostile target? Sorry I can't be more helpful than that.

Ah, now I see. Had to set the BOL direction at close range and now I get the message that it's too deep. Valid 0-1000 ft.

F1 window image attached that shows the error. Used his attached scenario.

[kritter]

Yup, but in the database it is allowed to launch to -800 meters.

Bump any ideas? Looks like a bug....

Thanks

The max altitude is AGL which means the game treats the weapon as surface or air-launched. For submarines, the weapon needs to use ASL depth for all stats.

For various reasons, submarine-launched and surface-launched torpedoes are separated in the database. The Paket is surface-launched.

Oh, yeah, now I see what happened (slaps head). He ADDED a surface launched weapons system to the HMS Astute - including 4 small diameter tubes the Astute doesn't have.

Surface and they shoot BOL (but why? )

[kritter]

Ok but it says -800 agl to -10 agl. Is that not below the surface? Also it does say ASL in the database.

Fixed for the next update release.
