Friendly fire incident

[ThatOneBounced]

While I quite enjoy the fact that battles are more realistic in the fact that tight formations have the chance to blow each other out of the water, I am currently testing a cruiser battle to see if battlecruisers can actually turn the tide of a battle until a destroyer (apart of my fleet's screening force) decided to drop a full spread of 10 torpedoes at on of my own heavy cruisers because on the other side of it was a hostile heavy cruiser. With that said, is there a targeting algorithm for friendly ships so that they can avoid sinking their own ships in broad daylight?

Torpedoes definitely should be treated as a special case. All ships should never fire torpedoes if there are friendly ship in their fishes' path. There should be a separate condition in the game's code specifically for that.

Concur that AI ships should be competent enough to NOT fire torpedoes through a friendly.  This should not apply to the player, however.  In addition, if an AI ship fires torpedoes and THEN the player decides to alter through the spread...that's okay too.

Guess its dem weekend players.

Never had any of my ships torp a friendly however, wish we had manual aim still.

MOGAMI fires a spread of six Type 93 torpedoes at HOUSTON, but misses. Post-battle analyses indicate that MOGAMI's and FUBUKI's torpedoes probably sank or disabled minesweeper W-2 and the transports SAKURA MARU, TATSUNO MARU, hospital ship HORAI MARU and the CinC of the invading 16th Army LtGen Imamura Hitoshi's flagship, landing craft depot ship SHINSHU (aka RYUJO) MARU. Imamura jumps into the sea, but survives.

 

Game turned out quite historically

Been one of my fears in the game, why i rarely put DDs on my side. Im scared shitless that a friendly DD or CL will just derp a big boi spread into my capital ships
