Default Tell me if this is bull.

Playing on coral sea, my sub used all of its torpedo's on an aircraft carrier and cruiser, every torpedo hit. Cruiser was hit by 10 torpedo's, plus 14 more for the airplanes and was still alive. Aircraft carrier was hit by 14 torpedo's plus 11 more from the airplanes and was still alive. Cruiser also took 176 artillery shells from the Atlanta, and another 45 from my destroyer.

The medium artillery is weak. I hit a Fuso BB nearly 300 times with medium artillery from my CL and it never sunk (not to mention the torpedo bombers, dive bombers, PT boats, a few shots from a weakened Renown class BB and who knows how many hits from DD artillery).

It doesn't sound impossible (from what I know about this game).

Well a cruiser vs. cruiser should do damage due to the fact that they both have medium arty, but still that many torpedos!

i give in, that gets the Bull award.

My only guess is lag (?) maybe.....I know yo0u can sink a carrier with 9 torps if you hit quickly enough so who knows.

This is not Bull,
There is a trainer out that allows infinitive health, instant reload, massive damage, burst of speed forward and backward, full stop, and infinate torpedos plus some other stuff.
We were told to take down peoples names and not allow them back our servers!!!!!
Or a better fix was to play in a closed group.
All that play MP games are aware of the cheats and hacks that are available and this is no surprize. What is surprizing is that they hit the net before the patches to fix these problems are even considered.
We really enjoy this game but if this is the way its gonna be count us out.

Shame.

I'm not going to disclose the site link, however if somebody has a little bit of brain and knows how to google can find it in no time...

The file description tells ya:
Unlimited Health, Create Massive Damage, Instant Reload, Freeze World (freeze planes in the sky to shoot down), Enhanced Boat System (super handling, speed burst), Unlimited Torpedoes. Made exclusively for *. Written for the original (unpatched) version of the game. May not work with all versions.

I did not try it but without doubt this is the one the others were talking about.

I checked it out and...WOW. I clicked on the 360 link for the game and it says:

There are no cheats or files currently available for this title.

Yet another reason to switch to console gaming.

Well LoL.
Unfortunately it is much more easier to "destroy" than to "build". Creating cheats takes much less time than to do something valuable. If you know how to debug a program and identify a part that handles damage and modify it you're set to go. Creating a skirmish mode needs much more talent and time...

Too bad that after a month the cheater rats are already out...

Sorry to ruin everyones fun but the trainer doesn't work in multiplayer.....it only effects single player...i know cause i just tried it.

Yes you can press F1, F2, F3 etc to activate the various effects and it certainly seems like its working (you hear the option 1 enabled etc) but you don't get infinite health, the instant reload doesn't work (the lights on your guns stay green but you can't fire them) and your hits don't do any more damage.

This is down to the way the netcode works...i.e you shoot then the server works out the damage you did NOT your PC. The server also controls when your guns reload etc and how you steer in fact everything you do is has to be run past the server first, which is why when you lag you often can't turn or shoot.

It is possible the trainer works if you host, but i didn't test that.

I don't understand. So it does not seem to work in multiplayer?
Then what is happening here?
Is the story just simply "made up"?
Are there other cheats for MP?
I'm at work but I'll have to try it out when I get home...
...we need to help EIDOS to locate the source of the multiplayer cheat otherwise they won't be able to act against it...

it could have been a trainer , in which case curse the sod's who use it and may there cammels be infertile.....

But - Damage Control is Extremely effective....

For intance i was playing a buddy (no lag, no trainers) and hit his CL with 7 torps in a matter of seconds, because he had 3 men on pumps before the torps hit, he went down to 75% health then repaired to close to 90%.

In my opinion a small delay before being able to seal leaks would make flooding a bit more realistic. A well micromanaged Cruiser or Battleship is nearly impervious to torpedoes, its then u need combined firepower so that if all damage control is on pumps you will slowly grind down the rest of ship until every hit causes a major leak.

These ships were extremely tough for example...

The Prince Eugune a German Hipper Class Heavy Cruiser was taken by the Americans after the war and used for, get this ATOM Bomb practice at Bikini Atol.



Two Atom Bombs of similar size to hiroshima were dropped on the ship, it remained afloat with only superficial damage .... and that was a Cruiser with no crew or damage control !
