TMT v2 + Thomsens Ships - Combimod
=============================

This Mod combines makman94's "Tribute to Manual Targeting V2" mod

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=153937

with the Thomsens Ships mod, which (hopefully) makes
acceleration & maneuverability of surface ships more realistic.

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=143775


Changes to TMTv2 .sim files according to Thomsens idea:
----------------------------------------------------------------
Only for ships with tonnage > 300:

Unit_Ship/Propulsion/eng_power: 30% of original value.

Unit_Ship/Rudders/drag:
0.02 (MERCHANTS)
0.025 (BATTLESHIPS)
0.03 (DESTROYERS)
0.04 (ESCORTS)


Download: See my mediafire page.

Greetings,

By the way: I only merged these two incompatible mods and so I give no further support on this mod, because I am very tired.

Choosing between these two mods has been a year-long headache for me. You've just cured it. Thanks a million.

PS: Did you by any chance include the 'Enhanced Funnel Smoke' in this release? I understand it was paired with Thomsen's Ships at some point.

Hey,

no I didn't, because I don't like this Enhanced Funnel Smoke.

Sorry.

Makman gave me a version with this smoke. With that the ships looked like if they were burning. and the smoke direction was funny. GWX smoke looks better in my opinion.

Thank you, h.sie!

I would gladly hear some comments from people who are using Thomsens ships mod - is it good? more realistic? without problems?

I don't know if it is really realistic but for me it is more real with than without, a tanker can't accelerate like a rocket. And also i prefer with Tomsens tweak ;)
I did not see big problems but i have not a lot of hour of gaming with it.
I think that in a "solo" encounter there is no problem; in a convoy perharps there is more confusion and some boats may be stopped but i also saw this behaviour in GWX3 "unmod" (or vanillia but i did play with it).

Also, i think it facilitates a bit shooting but for me it's good :haha:

Bye.

thank you H.sie :up:

is there a programme that we can measure new ship's lengths fast ?
with s3d it is a little time 'eater' ....
i mean that adjusting the X,Y,Z values to a node to make it positioned first on bow and then to stern is a little uncomfort
if we could find a way to do this fast then we can import and the FMF's new ships (when Iambecomelife release a stable final version of his mod)

Hi makman,

please excuse my unexact description. I did only add Thomsens changes (acceleration and gc_height and so on) for the new ships, but not the TMTv2 related data, because I only use TMTv2 but really don't know how to mod it by myself. So I hope that the ships dimensions of the new xtra ships are exact. If not, I'll live with that and call it historical inaccuracy. Did the Kaleuns in WWII know the exact length of all ships with high accuracy?

h.sie

no, they definetely didn't have that accuracy but i had noticed that some ships had very big errors at their data ....in some cases the length was more than 50 meters off .
i am sure that germans were always updating their manuals so i believe that their values were very close to the real ones . it will be extremely impossible, a u-boat to finishing its war career with the same manual that had at the start of its 'trip' .

i am looking for a programme like this ,only for checking fast the values and then is pretty easy to create an intended innacurate rec manual .(but if we don't know the correct values....then the innacurate ones will be in some cases more than....innacurate....)

if I remember right, most of the xtra ships that were added with BBWs WilhelmshavenV6 Mod are axis ships. Only a few allied, which are relevant for TMT.

Does this also work with the St. Nazaire Schluese Mod and the extra ships? Do I have to use the TMT fix?

Yes and yes.

Go to the "Merchant fleet mod" thread and have a look at post #159. You will see my mod list there.;)
