destroyer bug

[dasc1ple]

I took a destroyer to willemstad a little while ago and got into a fight with another destroyer. At one point my sights got completely messed up, it seemed like they were upside down. I didn't think that optics could be damaged in this game? This is why I'm wondering why this was either an exploit or bug. My ship was fine, still completely upright and while looking at my main cannons from position 2, they were still pointing forward in a normal fashion. But the sights to those cannons were totally messed up. This happened once all of my opponents main cannons were disabled, at which time he charged my boat firing AAA lol.

So does this sound like a bug, exploit, or can ship optics be damaged?

Thanks,

Dasc

This is a bug from the beginning of DDs. It has to do with when you adjust your AAA gunsights to their minimum range setting, the main guns suddenly aim straight up. The only way to fix is to set the AAA gun sights to some medium number and then go back to main guns, adjust and fight on.

TL;DR. They know about it.

Ah ok gotcha. Thanks very much for the reply. Yeah im new to navy and was clueless when this happened. Wish I had known how to fix it, I had some guns left and all of his were disabled. Well now I know, thanks again.

I've got a ticket for this. We need a min range setting on these.

On a side note for you Navy heads I saw the coolest damn thing today. RAMP is adding the "ez mode" controls to the Fairmile for RA. Position 4 is the AA Fire Director. When you go to pos4 you get an external 360 view with a reticule. All of the AA, 20s and mgs try and track to this aim point and open fire when you pull the respective triggers. Very cool. I felt like a crew on a boat.

Then I thought about how cool that'll be on DD or a bomber and I got a little woosie.

why not have each gun have it's individual range settings??? I know personally I requested this about 7 years ago..and it's been asked for many times before/after that
