[REL] Better And Realistic Flotation - Page 10

How does this mod affect your ability to successfully complete Campaign objectives? Being as they are so rediculous (sinking cap ships like merchants is just silly) or tonnage so high?

Should make it a little easier; ships are overall easier to sink, since you're not forced to deplete all the ships hull HP. 1 lucky hit, typically 2 (need good aim though), sometimes 3rd coup-de-grace hit to sink 'm (HP tweak allows for 4th hit, guaranteed kill). That's assuming freighters with the HP tweak in place, stock HP is a little lower, typically depleting HP with 3rd or 4th hit. It varies a lot with warships, but they certainly aren't any more difficult to sink.

I'm looking to assemble several mods in a large easy for new people to install "Community Mod pack", and full, prominent credit would be given to you and the other mod authors involved. Would you be willing to help the community by allowing your mod to be used?

Awesome Matt!!

Now if someone would just make a Grammphone/radio function mod.... this would really be a nice add-on into your Community Mod Mega Pack.

Ok...finally made it back to port after my 90k patrol

gotta love arcade level

Ok...so will BARF work with the Uboat Historical Specifications mod?

Arclight · 07-02-10, 07:53 PM

Good question.

Depends on what it changes, I'm guessing it includes zones.cfg, so the short answer is no.

If there's demand though, I'd happily combine the 2, with the authors permission.

Arclight · 07-02-10, 08:01 PM

Oh, never mind. That mod does not change anything BRF does, so yes, it is fully compatible. Including the HP re-balance and Damage Assessment.

Faamecanic · 07-02-10, 09:15 PM

You are the man (i think...if not dont take offense)..... you must live on these forums (like me

)

Thanks bud! Trying out both BARF and U boat Historical specs now.

Arclight · 07-02-10, 10:07 PM

I wouldn't say live, but yeah, it's always open in a browser at any point in time.

thread title updated, cheers on getting her out of beta

Arclight · 07-19-10, 06:45 AM

Thanks, much appreciated.

Should have asked long ago though.

Royale-Adio · 07-21-10, 02:12 PM

So this mods works kinda like NSM4?

Arclight · 07-21-10, 02:20 PM

Same principle, yes.

Royale-Adio · 07-22-10, 12:41 PM

So... with only one torp hit, it will eventually sink? (and this WILL take a long time)

Just to be absolutely sure, and I read your first post, no more F-ING HP bar depletion to sinking?

It's important for me to know because your mod could totally change my interest in the game, and for the better.

Arclight · 07-22-10, 04:00 PM

It will sink if you do enough damage. If you install the HP tweak as well, it's possible to sink any ship through flooding, instead of depleting all of it's HP. The HP system is still in place though, as a fallback, so ships don't absorb more torpedoes than you would normally need.

Think I'll have a more hardcore HP tweak this weekend, forcing you to sink through flooding.

Well I guess now it is VERY unlikely that Ubisoft are gonna release another patch for the game. That kinda sucks, but that's what mods are for! Right? Anyways, on topic. Have you made any progress with Capsizing ships?
