Description
Changes ship properties to put the results of a torpedo attack more in line with expectations. Aim is to make it possible to sink any ship without resorting to depleting it's HP; i.e. sink it by flooding. Just to be clear, it's not about strict realism (what would happen in real life), but subjective realism (what we expect to see in the game). Comes in 3 modules: BARF full: flotation tweaks + flooding times increased BARF lite: flotation tweaks only BARF HP balance: changes HP to be more in balance with the mods objective Just extract the contents of the zip to your JSGME 'MODS' folder and enable: 1. Either "BRF 1.3 full" OR "BRF 1.3 lite" 2. "BRF 1.1 HP balance" if desired HP balance is optional, both for convenience and for avoiding possible incompatibility. Should another mod already mess with the .zon files for the ships, you can still use the core mod; ie. the HP balance is not strictly nescesary for proper functioning of the flotation tweaks. Feedback is more than welcome, in fact it is needed to further this and refine the modifications. More info and comments: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=164953

christopher_450 04-06-10 at 11:13 AM	Hmm, how can I that it works??? Plz help!!
UBOOT_fan 03-15-11 at 05:25 AM	What does exactly your mod ? I am asking because it's confusing to me. Maybe my English is not so good. You wanna say that your mod solves the "hanging" of ships which took a couple of blows , they are tilted and seem to sink but they still are floating ? That is what you mean ? Cause I encountered this aspect and it was annoying. There were ships at 45 degrees , stopped and still refused to sink...Nasty. Please PM me if you have an answer.Thank you
Petike82 07-26-11 at 06:46 PM	thank you

Seafireliv 05-14-12 at 11:25 AM	`it's not about strict realism (what would happen in real life), but subjective realism (what we expect to see in the game).` That`s what I call thinking too hard. Real life can`t be all that removed from what we might expect. The only thing that tends to be different is stuff sinks not always that fast. I`m not one for pretending I`m looking at realism when it`s not like how it would look. That`s just sort of deceiving yourself. I`d just do it like reality so it`s like looking back in time at the experience itself. Oh great, now I`m thinking too hard! oh nvm,
habib911 07-04-12 at 09:56 PM	Nice mod, keep up the good work. From all of us who benefit from your work

brrrät 01-08-13 at 03:41 PM	Thank you, thank you, Thank you.
ShadowSlayer1 10-21-12 at 10:14 AM	Thank you for your hard work! I could not find the folder to extract the mod to, and when I do a search for SH5 it is in my startup folder. So I hope it will work for me when I can figure out my current problem. Right now, when I click the icon to open SH5 I get the error message (widows cannot access the specified device path, or file. you may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.) When and if I figure this out I will let you all know if it works for me. Ken
D man 11-05-12 at 01:08 AM	Problem fixed, for refernce, version 1.1 of SH5 will not work with this mod.
herrkaleun_Leon 02-09-13 at 08:08 PM	Great Mod, Great Work... i've always hit a ship right in the keel and i was But this mod saved me, now i can save my salvo shooting!!!
