1,086 [NDA] Aivris Supertester, Alpha Tester, Beta Testers 5,754 posts 4,574 battles Report post #9 Posted December 11, 2016 I've seen ships doing horizontal and vertical spins. It's hilarious when you're just cruising along and suddenly in the corner of your screen, you notice a ship messing around with physics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

581 [FOXDN] Angel_With_A_Shotgun [FOXDN] Beta Testers 1,030 posts 5,029 battles Report post #11 Posted December 11, 2016 Its a bug, BUT, there were reports of some ships that had taken damage on one side and where sinking and flipping, only to take torps or gunnery hits on the other side that let in SO much more water that the ship righted its self before flipping the other way.

221 DelroyMonjo Members 1,116 posts 10,974 battles Report post #12 Posted December 11, 2016 (edited) It's NOT a bug. But it's arcade action at its finest. I get the impression from the patch notes that it's coded but the chances of spinning and leaping have been reduced. Physics Model Improved the physics model for destroyed ships. We significantly lowered the probability of the following events happening in the game: Destroyed ships “leaping” out of water. Incorrect behavior when several ships are destroyed in the same place. Small ships twitching when they were destroyed by ramming. Rotation of the ship's wreck when she was destroyed while maneuvering.

214 Mister_Rawr ∞ Members 806 posts 5,710 battles Report post #17 Posted December 11, 2016 Very disappointing to say that I have just learned I'd forgotten to reset the replay line in my preferences xml file. Last night in Gneisenau I boneheadedly drove straight in to a full broadside of torps from a Nicholas and died. I dropped my mouse and stared, not believing what a dumb move I'd just made when much to my delight the ship shuddered - mid-sink - spun 360° horizontally, then flipped 90° vertically, bow down, spun another 360° horizontally and plunged into the depths like a brick. I really, really wanted to put the clip in a loop, overlay some oontz oontz and make a short video out of it. -R Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

32 [BORK] Doors_The_Dwarf [BORK] Members 253 posts 9,130 battles Report post #22 Posted December 12, 2016 I think it should be left in but the chance of it happening should be very low. It is a bug but it just screams Elder Scrolls to me. Those games are notorious for hilarious glitches that the developers left in or put there on purpose because they where hilarious. I don't mind either way but there has been a few times where i'm a bit irked at how i died or whatever reason and it happens and all I can do is chuckle to myself and I feel better.
