View Full Version : Looking for Hardcore Torpedo Mod
Looking for the HardCore Torpedo patch. (Yes--I am a glutton for punishment). I tried the Filefront link but can't find this particular mod. I think it was created by CCIP.
Thank You!

I think the latest version link is buried down in the later pages.

Try here (http://files.filefront.com/Torpedoes_USsim/;7349009;/fileinfo.html), which was in Post #58 (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=514792&postcount=58) of that thread tater just mentioned. I tried it last night, and was unable to download it... filefront stated it was temporarily unavailable *helpless shrug*.

Is it compatible with 1.3?
PD
It's not based onj the 1.3 file, no. It doesn't crash though, it just wouldn't have any changes made from 1.2 to 1.3 in the base file.

Thank You Gentlemen (a little assuming on my part :lol: )! I just finished evading 3 DD's while I was in 180 feet of water. So I'm pretty tired. Downloaded the Torpedo file and installed it just now. I look forward to trying it out tomorrow. I'll be heading out on my 7th patrol to the Java Sea (again). It's so shallow that I have the lads do some clam digging up there.
Salute!

Peto The way i play is to quit a campaign if my sub gets sunk. Only exception being bloopers related to speeding up time. My mouse wheel moves left-right and is my rudder and bumping it at high time speed knocks my sub into land occasionally.
So that said, i have to play like dying in the game is very real. Shallow water attacks are very serious business. No DD Dueling allowed. Destroyers have a huge advantage when they get a sub running away underneath them in -200 feet water. So i only shoot from afar now in shallow seas if a DD is around. Had to learn that the hard way. Shoot and skulk away from a great distance. Outside their scan range. That's why i still am forced to us MK14 torpedoes in the early game when they are so prone to duds. (i'm going to mod that down 50% in the near future). On a recent cruise in a Salmon Class i think i had 9 duds.
In my current mod set i have now, if i sit on the seafloor in under 200ft of water a DD can always eventually ping the exact location. So getting an injured sub in the shallows is a huge serious problem with even just one DD if you cannot fire at him anymore due to whatever reason. They stay on you forever if they still get pings. Statistically it's all over once it begin after being crippled. Odds become zerop unless by some act of God a friendly Task Force or bomber passes by. :|\\
I couldn't agree more :yep: . The only time I've been sunk by DD's in the game is when I got caught shallow. The other night I pulled it off though (I call it lucky)--got away from 3 DD's while running at 180 feet (10 feet off the bottom).
And I play like you do--when I get sunk my carrer is over. Lately I've been playing with external view disabled which really makes it a buggar. Raises the pucker factor by a factor of 10 though! :rock:
Downloading TM 1.4 now and will start a new career using that. Tater's campaign scripting is exceptional (and looks like it's included with TM 1.4). I used to be a modder but these guys make me look cheap and used (not that I would have it any other way :lol: .
Happy Hunting!

I'm using Tator in my MOD collection. That must be why i'm running into the veteran or elite DD's. I like to duel so i've been killed in the past couple weeks since the 1.3 patch around 12 times. They say you learn from experience. :rotfl:Fortunately it's just a game or my education would be brief.
I've created my own battery and crush depth MOD. With both increased a modest amount. With a slight increase in sub hitpoints as well. I guess because i play so seriously when having fun i want to have a solid 25% boost in everything as well to match my greater aggressiveness as a sub captain. Keeps the game the most fun for my style, but i'm guessing most other players are aggressive as well.
I'd prefer to have all warships be given elite crews for instance. I've found the AI in most games is most interesting when given a full set of brains to work with.
I agree in all points but one. I'm a coward at heart and when the DD's are coming I'm almost always heading deep LOL. I bet my crew likes me more than your's likes you :hmm: .
Happy Hunting!

The only changes made in the "Library" for 1.3 are
AI_Sensors.dat
Cameras.dat
Materials.dat
Sensors.dat
In "ShipParts"
guns_radars.sim
guns_radars.zon
guns_radars_03.dat
guns_radars_03.sim
guns_radars_03.zon
Towers_Colorado.dat
In "USSubParts"
Sensors_sub_US.dat
Sensors_sub_US.sim
Sensors_sub_US.zon
As far as i know the Mod from CCIP, uses the "Torpedoes_US.sim in data/Library"
And is not affected by 1.3.
Like I said, it hasn't caused me any crashes.
Thanks! Downloaded and installed.
