Hi there!

I´m very happy with Rub 1.42, Improved Convoys, Hollywood Damage and all the fantastic stuff out there!
Thanks to all modders!

I only got one problem. Just playing at full realism settings, only map update with Rub 1.42 approximate feature on, i start my campaign most the time in 1943, because the attack on convoys and evading destroyers and their depth charges is too easy :hmm:
In Ubisoft patch 1.3 the game was really challenging to me, i was scared when any destroyer came up.
Now, with SH3 v1.4b i think the level of destroyer skill is downgraded and i´m very unhappy with it.
So i overwrite the Rub 1.42 Ai_Sensors with an old Sh3 1.3 file, but after many hours of testing i guess that DC just shake around my boat. Most the time without damaging my boat or just very less effects, at very low depths too like 30 - 50 meters!!! Toooo easy!!!
I want the hard game back.
My idea is to overwrite the Rub 1.42 Depthcharges.zon file which was downgraded in the DC / sonar fix with the original sh3 v3 one, but i think the blast radius 40meters is too unfair. Now i´m looking for a tool to open and edit the depthcharge.zon file for myself.
I searched the forum but find nothing about tools to modify .zon files.

Thanks for your help!!!

Excuse my bad english, i´m just a german kaleun
:arrgh!:

It is on the forum, way back. RealDC_1

The DC is set for 20 meter blast instead of 15 meter blast radius.

Default was 40 meter.

Also, you can put back in the Ai_Sensor.dat file from 1.3 into 1.4 (there was no change to the file by the patch 1.4).

:sunny: Here is a new mod of an older mod SonarDC (that version was used in RuB).

SonarDC_20

It is not as nerfed to the DD sensors as used in RuB. The Minimum distance to detect is better now at 150 meters instead 200 meters.

This allows the DD to track you better using active sonar to nail your ass.

The DC blast radius is increased from 15 meters to 20 meters for more deadly Depth Charge.

Enjoy!
