Sub now ok.

Re the technics tool here's a pic of the Expert mode technics. See the CoastBunker_PTO difference compared to standard HSFX I sent on TS.

PTO bunkers may not actually hit anything. Check out the recent attack ranges thread.

Kopf mentioned testing showed how dismal the PTO performed. I queried the attack ranges on some of the subs & discussion lead to the technics tool which he is very interested in.

Expect a lot more questions

We have replaced the coastal gun with 122mm Soviet howitzer, shoots out to at least 10 km.

Subs shoot torpedoes to just over 5 km range.

Ar 196 test T/o & land circuit with seaplane tender. Planes are turning on final waypoint & cutting engines & either crashing or setting on water away from tender.
I thought it was due to jettison of sc50's but default loadout does same.

Can someone else confirm this, I used total 6 waypoints (incl t/o & land).

That's what seaplanes do when they land, they cut their engines. It's normal.

By the way Ikey, we have replaced the coastal guns with howitzers that will actually hit a target. The drawback is that they are soft to air attacks. Ikey if you add the camouflage nets (object 1140 Filet_VERT-F) to them in your template and send the file to me I will add them to the campaign as scenery. This will make them a lot harder to spot from the air.

Flight of 3 all cut engines together @ finals waypoint . No go around & if the last waypoint is some distance from tender then they don't land anywhere near it.

off to work now I'll continue looking into it & the camo nets tomorrow.

Cheers

There shouldn't be a case where a tender puts down a flight of 3 to take off. Just singles, really. And yes, you do need to put the penultimate waypoint near the tender.
