What this mod does:
----------------------------------
The 4 variables that determine the destructive power of each of the six USA Submarine Torpedoes in the game were each inceased by 25%. The MK10, MK14, MK16, MK18, MK23, MK27.

There only 4 moddable numbers for each torpedo's hitting power in the game. These are the minimum and maximum RADIUS of the area on the target that is effected by the torpedo's explosion. And the minimum and maximum EXPLOSIVE POWER of the torpedo warhead. These ranges in value simulate the fact that in real WWII naval warfare, when a torpedo hit a ship the resulting explosion was never guaranteed to be always the same. This MOD keeps true to that simulation. So in this game, when you shoot a torpedo and it hits your target, the resulting damage could be 50% less than the possible maximum.

I checked and rechecked this MOD for mistakes. Like wrong numbers in the modded variables. There are no mistakes in this MOD. So this MOD can be used with confidence.


Why this mod?:
----------------------------------
In my opinion the original torpedoes in this game were underpowered. I wanted to increase that power just enough to balance things out in favor of having more fun and satisfaction. Which has to also include maintaining the game's challenge. So it's not too easy. Easy is no fun.

How much is too much torpedo power to MOD into this game? I've tried a 50% increase and it resulted in some oddities. Like hitting Destroyers straight on in their bow as they are chasing you and having them too often be crippled, floating motionless with bow deep down in the water. That seemed unrealistic and too easy.

The flip side of that coin is an underpowered torpedo that too often hits too weakly. Too often wasting the shot. Too often causing frustration. I really believed something had to be done to Mod back into this game the realism of the true devastating power and the dread of being on a ship and being struck by a torpedo.

Let me know what you think about this MOD.
