hey everyone,

last time i played sh4 i was stalking a convoy. Some merchants,tankers,sea plain tenders, one mogami and some destroyers. Did a first attack and sunk one merchant and one sea plain tender,reloaded and did a second attack sinking one tanker en damaging one large merchant.By this time the destroyers got a fix on me and they homing in on me. Time to be a hole in the water so i tryed to escape "Otto Kretshmer-style" ,meaning that i raced to the damaged merchant and crash-dived under him to shake the destroyers off. All went well until i was under the merchant,i was ad 60m (200f) when the message came "she's going down" , then all hell broke lose,the merchant exploded and broke in two and ad the same time i got damage reports from everyware and the sub was lost instantley :dead:.The two halves still floating and the thing exploded on the surface and i was 60m(200f) under it, no wreckage hit me because i checked with the external cam.Seams that i got destroyed by the blast. Is this normal ad that depht? I had this one other time but then i was on the surface next to the exploding ship and thats pretty normal that you got destroyd when you are to close.

PS: i use TM 1.7.6,RSRD,NSM4

Just pure speculation but perhaps the concussion above popped some of your sub's seams? The S-class were old boats. :hmm:

Check the NSM thread in Mods workshop. It seems there is either an issue with NSM4 itself, or being used with RSRD. Either way, ships are blowing up all over the place with unusually large blast radiusesss (or is that radii?). I myself sank two ships with one torpedo in an encounter last week.

Thx for the info Galanti. I take a look there.
Two ships with one torpedo, cool ... :cool:.
Never happened to me, i did once shot a sampan skyhigh :arrgh!:.
