[REL] Torpedo Data Tooltip

uzihead · 03-27-07, 04:18 PM

I don't know if it can be called a mod, as it only modifies the torpedoes tooltips from submarine Torpedo Room. Maximum range and speed will be displayed for those who are not familiar with them.

Here is the download link and readme:

Torpedo Data tooltip
Basically, it just ads Maximum Range and Speed in the torpedoes tooltip for all the 6 types of torpedoes used in SH 4

Mark 10 3,500 yards (3,200 m) at 36 knots
Mark 14 4,500 yards (4,100 m) at 46 knots OR 9,000 yards (8,200 m) at 31 knots
Mark 16 13,700 yards (12,500 m) at 46 knots
Mark 18 4,000 yards (3,650 m) at 29 knots/Electrical
Mark 23 4,500 yards (4,100 m) at 46 knots
Mark 27 5,000 yards (4,570 m) at 12 knots/Electrical

The mod is JSGME ready. If you don't use JSGME, just ovewrite the menu.txt file in Silent HUnter 4/Data/Menu

Cheers,

Oh, it is definitely a mod, and a very good one. A very handy tool indeed.

Sweet job mate! Is it possible to add weapon descriptions as well?

This is so u guys have some idea at least historicaly how the torps worked i had put a bunch of detail in this message but it was to big so I lost 2 hours of fact finding on the wepons so here are some foot notes

Mark 10 was a slow unmagnetic tipped war head torp that was slower then the mark 14

Mark 14 was the primary use wepon that had the option of either running slow and a distance of about 7000 yards or fast at a distance of about 4500 yards Primary Function: Anti-ship torpedo for submarines
Power Plant: Wet-heater combustion / steam turbine engine with compressed air tank
Length: 20 ft 6 inches (6.25 m)
Weight: 3,280 lb (1,487.8 kg)
Diameter: 21 in (533 mm)
Range / Speed:
Low speed: 9,000 yards at 31 knots (8.23km at 57.41 km/hr)
High speed: 4,500 yards at 46 knots (4.12km at 85.19 km/hr)
Guidance System: Gyroscope
Warhead: 643 lbs (291.7kg) of Torpex
Date Deployed: 1931 Date Withdrawn from service: 1975–1980
mark 23
The Mark 23 torpedo is a Mark 14 torpedo from which the speed-change mechanism has been removed, leaving all five nozzles open. The restriction valve is locked in high power, and thus the engine can be operated at high speed only.
Torpedo, electric, passive acoutic homing torpedo. Also known as a "Cutie".
Mark 27 Acoustic Homing Torpedo or "Cutie," seen in this compartment is electrically propelled and is intended to home in on the propeller noise generated by an attacking ship. Unlike conventional torpedoes that are blown out of the tubes by compressed air before their engines are activated, the Mark 27 is designed to slowly swim out of the tube so the sound detection equipment is not deafened and the enemy is not alerted by the noise from the rush of compressed air. ( should be a great wep for killing destroyers)
Mark 18
an electrically propelled torpedo designed for use in submarines. It is single-speed, designed to run for 4,000 yards at an average speed of about 29 knots. The primary advantage of the Mark 18 is that it is wakeless.(no bubbles)

then is Mark 16 is the best Against DDs?
