the bigger question to be asked is do these invisible depth charges explode underwater?
dpajic

The invisible depth charge explode but there is no texture of those depth explosions and when they get into water too

I found that SH3 has good display of DC (Depth Charge) barrels when they get into the water and when explode underwater. Is there a way to convert this SH3 files to SH5??Can anyone help??
TheDarkWraith
02-10-12, 01:23 AM
SH5's depth charges show. They even show underwater and they show the explosion. You have some kind of mod conflict problem if you're not seeing this :yep:
dpajic
02-10-12, 04:27 AM
I do get DROPPED depth charges on all escorts. But the destroyer class like BLACK SWAP that also FIRES depth charges sideways DOESN'T show barrels at all.
Anyway I did managed this problem after all because I used some files of the SH3 that made DC's VISIBLE and I can actually see all depth charges NOW. The only thing Im still researching is the WATER REFLECTION after explosion ( Like the ones in SH3), do you know solution to this problem?? :)

Sometimes they will fire hedghogs at you - these are smaller and hard to see

In SH5 there are three different types of projectors to deploy depth charges to the sides of a ship. One of them isn't functional:

- K-gun projector: Mounted on the sides of the ship, delivering the depth charges to either port or starboard. These projectors don't work. The projector is firing, you can hear the noise and see the smoke of the propellant charge, but no depth charge is delivered, no splash is indicating the depth charges impact on the water, no depth charge explosion can be seen or heard. Mounted e. g. on Black Swan class sloop, V&W class destroyers and (early in the war) on American destroyers and destroyer escorts (Fletcher, Buckley, Everts class).

- K-gun projector with Mk 9 depth charges: As above, but with faster sinking depth charges. Works fine. Appearing later in the war, these projectors are mounted on some American ships that were previously equipped with the standard K-guns.

- Y-gun projector: Mounted on the centerline of the ship with the arms of the "Y" pointing outboard, two depth charges are cradled on shuttles inserted into each arm. Works fine. In SH5 you'll find them on Wickes/Town and Clemson class destroyers.

That's the reason why some folks find the projectors working correctly (K-guns Mk 9, 1942/43 onward or Y-gun) and some don't (standard K-gun, 1939-1942). I found the destroyers that are equipped with the faulty K-guns to be less dangerous as they should be, because their projectors are not able to generate the wider dispersal pattern when used in conjunction with rack-deployed charges.

As a temporary solution I replaced each line 'LinkName=KGun' with 'LinkName=KGun_Mk9' in the equipment definition file (.eqp) of the ships concerned. And the DCRack with the DCRack_Mk9 respectively, so the racks deploy the same type of depth charges. Perhaps someone can build a proper fix for the K-guns...

Depth charge projector fix available here:

How can I get better depth explosion ( Like in SH3). In SH5, he water is suppose to reflect after depth explosion but only shows the water splash. can you help me with that?? :cry:

yes ! is there a mod for this ?
