Harpoon broken?

Anyone tested it yet?

At least my harpoon had killed the target. Don't use sea-skim.

Looks like the harpoon went for the sub correctly, it tries to hit a few feet above the water but the sub's hull is too low and it doesn't connect. The 270° turn may be a bug, it does the same if it misses a regular ship. Using pop mode instead of skim seems like a good suggestion indeed ;)

Has been there since day 1. Try to engage the sub from the front or from behind. Definitely WIP imho

Yep. On my second test I programmed 4 Harpoons for different profiles, 2 in BOL and 2 in R/BL (wpt as tgt fairly close to estimated sub position). 1 missile in each mode was set to pop. Both of these hit within few feet of the sub. If I approached from front or back, would've nailed it.

The "skim" missiles looped around... so, I got that streighted up:D

I haven't used Harpoons for quite a while before this test and the programming part seemed sort of weird. I guess I was expecting sub-menus when setting parameters for each program. Once I noticed the program data changing with each press of the OSBs I was cool:doh: Then just the UFC part and the missile was ready. Next step... "STEP" and that's when I got slightly confused.

The parameters for PROG1 got reset.:noexpression: OK, I continued setting it up for PROG1 and missile #2. Same for missiles 3 and 4. It worked fine. Each missile remembered the mode and different parameters I had set. So basically it didn't matter which program I used as long as I stepped through all of the missiles and typed the parameters.

Well Tom, this approach worked every time. Another method to the madness...:joystick:

The sub actually sank after a secondary explosion.

Looks good. Hope that Subs that can be tracked from the side can be hit, too... some day. May not be on the top of the list though.

I have reported an issue with Skim to the team

 

if you have a different issue please attach a short track replay showing the issue and we will take a look

 

thanks
