[REL] Fixed Ship Collision Damage v1.0 Test

Fixed Ship Collision Damage v1.0 Test

This mod changes the ship collision damage model in SH3. What it does is make U-boat compartments and equipment much more vulnerable to rammings. A direct 90 degree high speed ramming by a destroyer will probably destroy the U-boat compartment that was hit and kill everyone in that compartment, thus ending the game with the death screen. A lesser angled ramming might destroy some equipment and heavily damage the compartment. The amount of equipment and compartment damage will vary depending on the angle and force of the ramming.

Comments and suggestions are appreciated.

Almost forgot... I haven't been able to find a way to make the periscope get destroyed when it is rammed. But still working on it.

Cheers mate, thanks for your mod.

Venatore, thanks for downloading and testing!

One thing I have noticed in v1.0 is that the conning tower doesn't take much damage when rammed submerged. It seems to have it's own separate collision damage setting. I am adjusting it now and will try to have it fixed in the next version.

Great one thanks!!!

:hmm: Another step closer to reality.

Ok. It appears that I found the value that adjusts the conning tower collision damage.

Now all I have to do is find the value that adjusts the periscope collision damage.

Good news. I found the settings to make the periscopes, antennas, etc. get destroyed by ramming.

Just left port last night in GWX 2.0 but I'll try it as soon as I get back.

OK I'll test v1.1 as soon as I get back to port.

Is the submarine .zon file an official part of the mod or just for testing?

Not an official part. I just included it in the first version for testing only. Not included in this version.

Hi,

thanks for your Mod I'll test it on my next travel. But I want to know, is the Mod only for stock SH3, or can I use it with GWX2, WAC, etc.?

Thanks for Your answer,
Paco.

Being as it's a change to the SHCollisions.act file, it will work with
all mods per say.
I'm interested to see if it effects collisions of shells.
Will Aircraft rounds cause more damage?
What if you "bump" the dock when returning from Patrol?
This is a very interesting area.
