Hi
I'm currently trying to modify the depth charges in SH3 but got stuck with two issues, and I can't find any helpful topic in the forum. Maybe one of you guys can help me out:
1. In the early years, the DCs don't get any deeper than 100m before they explode, even if the sub is much deeper than that. Later in the war (around 1943) they can reach depths of ~200m. I'm aware that this has a historic background, but it's still boring if I'am perfectely safe in 140m during the first years of the war. Does anyone know if and how this time-linked maximum detonation depth can be altered?
2. Using Timetravellers SH3 Mini Tweaker, I modified the files depthcharges.sim & .zon to change some of the DC stats. Afer I failed several times I found out, that these files contain values for 5 different types of DCs, each with its own characteristics (eg. fallspeed, max/minEF, explosion impulse,...). Does anyone know how these different DC types are used in the game? Are they used by different nationalities or at different stages during the war?
Thanks a lot
