Fleet test in beta arena. found some bugs beta 29
« on: May 14, 2004, 04:34:16 AM »
set up two enemy fleets and put them in formation with eachother in the beta arena.

1. mossie attack:

while they were moving into range i rolled a mossie and attacked 1 destroyer.

I hit every gun on the destroyed after a few sorties then switched sides and looked at the damage and indeed all guns were gone.

rolled again and flew by the gunless destroyer and all its guns were still firing at me and killed me.


2. enemy fleets in formation:

closed enemy fleets to point blank range of a few hundred yards and fired 40mm at all enemy guns.

destroyed soft gun batteries armored gun batteries and gun emplacements.

found 8 inch guns of CA to be either very tuff or undestroyable but they didnt die to nonstop 40mm fire.

I then destroyed all escorts and cruisers for both fleets so only carriers remained.

I then shot off all guns on the enemy cv to make it so that no gunfire should be seen. I then launched a pt boat but unfortunately spawned underneath the enemy CV! haha so i fell through the terrain and had to alt f4.

3. returned into beta arena:

upon logging back into the beta arena I found both fleets had all ships back. the server didnt load the info on which ships were sunk when i logged back in. and the sunken ships were now indestructable and couldnt sink or have gun emplacments shot out.

I started firing at enemy cv and as i was shelling it with 40mm and gun emplacements were getting destroyed (this ship wasnt sunk before exiting arena but it was de-acked. all guns were back though)

as i was shelling in an area around the conning tower the radar exploded (though i wasnt shooting at the radar but an area next to the rear 5" armored gun batteries)

once the radar was destroyed the cv smoked pretty cool. was strange bug with the fire from the destroyed radar. the small flame stayed stationary at the point where the radar was destroyed so it was just a flame behind the cv while the smoke eminated from the cv and looked pretty cool.

upon logging out and back in I found all gun emplacements back on all ships and the radar still smoked but the graphics for the radar were present again.

more bugs:

once cv is destroyed the hangar is destroyed with it and you are unable to access the pt boat lvt and gun position ordnance and position settings since everything is gone with the cv.


but if you were last in a gun position on the cv you can still man this gun and hit stuff even though there is no gun and no cv.

found one 20mm gun on the destroyer that is mannable when destroyed also on one of the destroyers on the right side of the cv.

also shadows for the cruiser and carrier are still visable after the ca or cv is destroyed.

Another 1 I noticed, 2K of bombs from F4U will sink a carrier.
