Nothing new/removed. Just code revised and shuffled around

Next patch that will be coming out here soon will deal with units taking damage and radioing for assistance (when they have no contact). This is needed for harbor raiding as currently you may torpedo a unit and all the escorts and warships around the unit do nothing This upcoming patch will make them react and come over to the unit that took damage and investigate. The patch will be very experimental and I will be releasing test versions of it for testing before final release. Expect a test version tomorrow

Applied the TDW_GenericPatcher_v_1_0_127_0 and enabled the electric engine ratios . Dived and then went to flank speed . Surfaced and then went to all stop but the sub keeps going at flank . Full reverse or other speeds only decrease speed by 1 knot . Do i have to enable some cfg file or something ?

maybe dont use independend engine control it was working for me

3) yes - small box will incur no damage (if patch enabled for reducing AP value then the box will suffer AP damage)

Excellent, I see that SH5's impact/damage model is quite accurate.

The only thing I am missing (not related to the patch we are currently working on though), is ballistic range and impact angle to be taken into account for shell damage calculations.

The game is not that sophisticated. Ballistic range and impact angle are not taken into account when calculating damage. All that matters is point of impact, AP of zone, AP of object hitting the zone, min/max radius, and MinEF and MaxEF.

No you don't have to do anything to the cfg file. I tried every possible combination of diving/surfacing/changing bells and I couldn't reproduce your problem. Sounds like you have a corrupt sh5.exe somehow

Nevermind, the damage model sucks

I had just a moment of euphoria due to your answer to my last question (AP and possibility of a zone to protect a lesser armored zone behind it), as it suited an idea I had about gun shields

• If Penetration is successful: (else skip to 5)

4. Apply ED at point of impact, and skip to end; armor is ignored for penetrated object and all compartments inside it.
5. penetration was not successful:
6. apply explosion blast damage in impact point. Armor is considered as follows – for all objects in MaxRange, ED (corrected for range) is compared to 4 * A. If ED is greater, it is applied, to the object.

Came from a document I got from Dan

A small tidbit of info: the function that calculates the signal strength of where the hydrophone needle is does not let it calculate signal strength for type 104 units. Wonder why

How is ED calcuated? And what is the "A" parameter (the one multiplied by 4 and compared with ED)?

Instead of the currently four values governing damages (AmmoDamageInfo – Hitpoints, ArmorLevel, MinRadius, MaxRadius) we need a little more

• AP – Armor Penetration
• MinEF – Explosive Damage Factor – the HitPoints of old
• MaxEF -
• MinRange – as before, for calculating the damage done through explosion
• MaxRange – as before, for calculating the damage done through explosion

In the calculus below, we may also use the value “A”, being the armor value of the considered object.

A projectile will deal damage:

• Explosive damage (ED) – damage done by the explosion

ED = random (MinEF, MaxEF); will be modified for range as before.

Steps to check damage dealt by a projectile

• projectile hits object O in part P
• Penetration check
  • Penetration roll:

k = 0.2 – subject to change
x = random (-k;+k)
Pen = AP * [1 + x]
Pen > = A results in penetration

• If Penetration is successful: (else skip to 5)

4. Apply ED at point of impact, and skip to end; armor is ignored for penetrated object and all compartments inside it.
5. penetration was not successful:
6. apply explosion blast damage in impact point. Armor is considered as follows – for all objects in MaxRange, ED (corrected for range) is compared to 4 * A. If ED is greater, it is applied, to the object.

first of all d3d_antilag101 and Generic Patcher v1.0.128.0 arent a mod
copy the all files from d3d_antilag in SH5 main folder.
Use TDW generic patcher als stand alone cos the genericpatcher it's a application not a mod.
now your mod list isnt in right order.
take a look on this thread for mod list order

would there be any use/benefit from running electric engines instead of the diesels on the surface
