[REL] Stormy Seas Sub Gun Fix

**Released!**

Stormy Seas Sub Gun Fix v1.01 for SH4 v1.1

Changes/Fixes in 1.01:

-increased all submarine surface depths. Subs can now run on surface with decks awash.


This mod will allow your crew to use the sub deck guns and AA guns during storms. Sometimes you will be submerged when using your guns during storms. Stay warm.


*please note:

I will release a Depth Charge Shake mod compatible version later.

In the Gato and Balao folder there´s the sim file, not the cfg.

Thanks! BTW, "Gar" isn´t there.

Great deal...thanks. My one and only observation was that for the newbies (myself included ) which folders do they go into. I looked at the help file and it just says put in appropriate folder. Some peeps here probably have no idea.

Again thanks for the mod

Lol. Thanks Gizzmoe. And no, I'm usually not drunk when I do modding (though it may appear that way).

Quick question...can the crew use the guns whatever the storm conditions ? I mean would they really be able to man the guns during storms with high waves ? Could you clarify ?

Cheers....

Yes, with this mod they can use guns in any weather conditions up to 15 meters per second wind speeds. I don't even know if the game models wind speeds higher than this. Sometimes the crew may go under water when a big wave passes by. This may not look realistic, but it's all about compromises.

In reality no. Unless you want your crew washed away.

There was a big debate over this with SHIII. I guess it ends up being a personal gaming choice. I for one do not believe a captain would order his deck gun crew out to the Guns in a raging, pitching storm. I have read accounts of sub skippers from the war saying the same or things to the effect, "the seas were too choppy for a surface gun action"

But it all boils down to how you want to play, or your interpretation. All and all I think it is great someone has made this mod to give players a choice.

I agree and disagree with your post. SH3 and SH4 don't model this aspect very well. In the vanilla game, it's just too sensitive. Even with smaller waves you get the message "can't man gun... sea too rough". In my opinion, this is ridiculous. I am talking about small waves that don't even break over the main deck. The main reason I did this mod is for playability reasons. Sometimes we have to compromise some realism for playability to balance it all out.

But, I suppose I could release another, more realistic version and make a half-compromise. Say... no gun usage on anything over 10.5 meters per second wind speed. The waves would be fairly big, but not huge.

Also in SH4 the boat barely moves in a storm. The waves just role on by. Id imagine in real life the boat would be moving quite violently.

Great mod
