Asqerix -> a question and a thanks (5/4/2009 2:17:07 AM)
Hi everybody, after years of playing it finally occurred to me that I never understood the meaning of these small stars (*) in the ASW combat screen, for example : Near miss damages sub, near miss rattles sub. Do these denote the amount of depth charges or the severity of the hit? Oh, and a big thanks to all you fellows at the DC summit yesterday, i had a great time.[:D]

Hmm, inquiring minds want to know.

Otherwise all you would see is always the same message and you wouldn´t notice that something happened. Near miss rattles * (first time), near miss rattles (second time), near miss rattles * (third time), near miss damages sub * . DD Shimakaze fires 4 depth charges, near miss rattles * (first time)... etc. near miss rattles never does any damage, it´s just chrome.

Might be wrong, but IIRC some of those sub near-misses might increase the chance to detect, (to simulate oil in the water?).

As the man said: it's chrome... it might in real life, but it doesn't in WITP (from what was said about such things when they changed the ASW routine.)
