Mk46/48s

[Enrico Pallazzo]

Is anyone else having an issue where the torps mentioned above have been performing differently since the latest patch? I've have several instances where they randomly lose track without any noisemakers to throw them off, and often within the seeker range. They just "Ignore" the enemy units. This didn't happen much, if at all in the previous weeks but now i've seen it happen at least 10 times in the last couple days of playing.

Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this or am I just getting some comically bad RNG?

Just played a scenario, had several Mark 46's nearly hit a sub and then suddenly veer off. I mean literally another second and they would've made a solid hit, then.....OH! SHINY OBJECT!!

So damn frustrating.

Okay that's kind of a relief for me. I've been having to use a lot more due to that happening so often for me. Ironically it's usually against targets who have no noisemakers left/deployed. They turn into ADHD kids at a toy store.

I have seen the same. MK46 seem dumb now.

Agree on new reaction in latest update. I had a P-3 and SH-2 dump 8 tops on an Oscar and only 1 hit. The other 7 would pass within sensor range of the Oscar and went 180 degrees from Oscar afterwards

Or when they acquire it and start moving only to randomly decide they're not interested. That sure makes the anti sub experience fun.

In my experience since the last update all ASW torpedos are insufferable to use. Extremely hard to hit anything. Applies to all heli-borne torpedos, like Mk46, UGMT, etc. I shot 6 UGMTs in my 3rd attack wave against a Kobben (which had expended all its noisemakers previously) and only scored one hit. This was surrounding the sub with all my 6 helos. Insane.

Well, I'm glad I asked now. I hope it gets resolved soon because so many user made missions are going to be a lot difficult with this going on.

Even missiles feel way off now. Game is shelved for now. Shame.

[strykerpsg]

Agreed. Seems like one step forward, 2 steps back.

I went into my custom scenario and made all subs now a 25% possibility of showing up, instead of 100%. Hopefully the developers fix this soonest too.

I have to wonder why this was so closely held onto, in closed beta, for so long? The amount of shortcomings seen and reported since release into EA is just staggering.

Which ones are you referring to? I'm noticing that the Aim-54s are almost pointless lately. Takes 2 fully loaded F14s to take out one recon plane.

I noticed that the NoiseRejection value in the Mk46/48 .ini file has been set to 0. After some testing if you change this value to match the value in CounterMeasuresRejection it behaves more like it did prior to the update.

Wow! This struck a chord with someone. They gave us all warm blanket awards....lol. It seems they lack verbal input.

Oh that was me. I have a lot of points and I wanted to spend them on other fans of military games.
