Title: some fun with rescue boats
Post by: ozziesailor on November 27, 2007, 10:12:12
i juz finished the mission were u need to do a emergancy roll out. after the mission i thought it would be cool to juz tow the 2 pilot boat and rescue boat around the harbour.  ;D but then i saw the vamess coming my way and thought lets see if i can stop an AI ship but mouring the boats to it and or by making a belt around the front with the rescue boat and pilot boat in full reverse and the emergancy vessel full throttle.

i dont think it worked to well. but the damage looks worse then it actually was, after suffering a blow like that and being pushed through the harbour and into a wall the vessel suffered only 44% damage

"only 44%?  :o

44% of the hull and systems destroyed? ONLY? Wow! I hope you aren't a real world skipper!

ahhh come on give me a break. i finished the mission no problems and i thought since i had nothing else to do i wanted to see what happens. now the reason i say 44% only is because was the vamass kept going i would of thought with puncture wounds like that it definately would of sank but it didnt.


which also makes me wonder. the vessel was close to capsizing but didnt. is it possible to do but?

Do you mean the harbour support vessel? Is it not of a design that is difficult to sink?

Thats something that doesn't happen in the game. Vessels are unable to capsize because I have tried this many times yet the vessel simple bobs back out of the water.

I hope VSTEP model capsizing, as it's a very important feature when weather and wind is against you :)

yeah well thats what i was thinking like. in bad weather surely a ship will capsize if overcome by water
