Tarawa shortcomings

[BrzI]

Just a few that I have noticed with the latest DCS :

-not showing in encyclopedia

-taking missile hits creates no damage

-taking missile hits does not slow it down

-ship defences do not work - they just look pretty

 

 

Thanks

It's not finished yet??

[AG-51_Razor]

Yeah but, can you spawn on it in a helicopter???

[Gerbilskij]

I did a quick test with the AV8B and when I tried to spawn hot on the LHA-1, either runway or parking, the aircraft spawns without the landing gear extended, somewhat floating above the deck.

 

I did not have time to try cold and dark also, will check again after work.

 

UPDATE: problem confirmed, it happens no matter the state if I try to spawn an aircraft on deck

Spawned hot and no issues whatsoever with the gear.

After additional testing, I realised the bug was caused by a MOD. Removing "LHA Amphibious Assault Package" solved the issue.

LHA Amphibious Assault Package works for real players only at the moment..If you have it installed then the Tawara can be only used with AI...We are hoping for a fix from ED for the AI issue not taking off. Just an FYI

[gunterlund21]

Statics on the Tarawa are now sitting 5 ft off the deck....Anti gravity suits are on

AI also start off at a hover.... good news is they are actually doing a running take off instead of trying to launch vertically...... Good progress

 

odd behaviour.... AI wont take off from Runway on Tarawa but will from Ramp.

 

Hovering due to LHA mods. Remove and they are back on the deck.

So Morpheus was right after all.

With the updated Tarawa, helos (AI and player-controlled as well) still spawn over water left of the ship's deck.

Thanks Gerbilskij. I sure wish they could figure this one out. After all, these type ships were originally designed for the helicopters. The "Jump Jets" were thrown in as a bonus.

This is an ED issue

[AG-51_Razor]

I understand Prowler. I hope you don't feel like I am busting your balls for this. I just wish they would get it fixed. Compared to some of the bugs they are squashing, this seems to be a fairly minor one.

[uscstaylor]

I'm sure this will get its self all worked out in future but I cant speak for everyone but my install works fine for real players just not AI at the moment which ED will get it sorted..

Helicopters spawning beside ship instead of on deck

 

When I heard that the Tarawa model was being updated, was hoping that this was corrected. Unfortunately no, but will keep the fingers crossed and hope for something in the Future. Great job on the ship by the way.

[Prowler111]

Some stuff really is out of our hands, but we know ED is working on a solution

[uscstaylor]

Thanks Prowler its nice to hear...

Open Beta was pushed to the release branch, so there have been no changes to the Tarawa since post #16

[Shadow_1stVFW]

I'm assuiming this is an ED issue. But at some point will the smoke effect from the Tarawa be removed?

 

As seen here, she doesn't smoke nearly at all, if any.

For info:- the latest Open Beta 2.5.2.20036, contains the updated Tarawa model with lighting and working CIWS. The only obvious WIP bug is the Phalanx CIWS opening fire at 6km (3.3 nm) rather than close in.
