[_UK_] IanEglin Players 23 posts 18,932 battles Report post #1 Posted June 18, 2016 Has anyone else come across destroyers that are completely undetectable even at ranges less that 4000 yds? Just had two games ruined by this. Completely unrealistic, no smokescreen, just some masking method, its like playing Star Trek with cloaked Klingons. Completely ruining the realism of the game. Has someone got a cheat? Spoiling the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kennydbt Players 308 posts 7,857 battles Report post #4 Posted June 18, 2016 not seen them with no smokescreen. might be the smokescreen did not show on your pc. are you both in open water land can hind DD a lot even now land? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[_UK_] IanEglin Players 23 posts 18,932 battles Report post #5 Posted June 18, 2016 Open sea, no smokescreen, its like submarines launching torps at less than 1000 yds, no chance of evasion, no chance of shooting at anything. In last game I played 2 Tirpitz 1 Yorke sunk, with no ship detectable in the vicinity. Completely changed the outcome of the game. Completely crap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[TACHA] triumphgt6 Players 1,870 posts 22,641 battles Report post #7 Posted June 18, 2016 In the Minekaze, you can get to 5.5 km undetected and have a 7km range - is it that you only saw the torps at 4km or less? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[_UK_] IanEglin Players 23 posts 18,932 battles Report post #11 Posted June 18, 2016 No the accuracy and spread of the torps indicate a close launch range, nothing within 10k Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[_UK_] IanEglin Players 23 posts 18,932 battles Report post #16 Posted June 18, 2016 Group of 3 ships, 2 Tirpitz, 1 Yorck. No sign of any enemy ships less than about 17k, wasn't closely watching but the lead Tirpitz destroyed with no fight. I became a little suspicious and zig zagged but was hit by 3 torps from mystery ship & sank. Switch onto last Tirpitz, hit again in open water, tight torpedo pattern, no warning, no ship in the vicinity. No aircraft carriers in the game. Somebody has got a cheat.

Also there are destroyers that can get as close as 5.4km without getting spotted at those tiers. But if all of you got sunk by him that easily then you really need to learn to use WASD. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[WJDE] Khul Beta Tester 520 posts 2,891 battles Report post #19 Posted June 18, 2016 (edited) It needn't have been "long range". 6.1 km if it was a Minekaze or Fujin or Kamikaze or Hatsu or Kagero (less IIRC on Kagero) with fully-spec'd captain, & you wouldn't have known they were there unless you flew a plane over them or they fired their guns or you had sonar going. Six KM. Not "long range." EDIT: Yeah, as matey says above. 5.4 km on some DDs. Five. Point. Four.Not "long range" at all.

[SSPNG] Remi_Drexel Players 204 posts 1,962 battles Report post #22 Posted June 18, 2016 Aircraft would have to get within aprox 3km of some enemy DD's, so not completely reliable.
