I've lost like 6 ships coz of this. Fire every, two torps into them below the water line and they don't stop at all.

I really miss the listing, dragging, slowing feedback of damage. The slowly sinking ships that you know are flooding but not quite when.

As far as I can tell ships in SH5 are perfectly fine, albeit on fire everywhere, until they lose all their Health Points then they are dead. No middle ground.

Unless someone is already on it, or thinks they can do better, then ill gladly drop the idea, as im not too enthusiastic about the idea of reliving SH4's early days again. Gonna play, not mod this time around.

As long as you do not abandon TMO!!!!

While I await my copy "better be hear this morning or lunchtime , got delivery notice from Shopto Wed lunchtime" I agree on the damage model , the explosions of fire on all pics and videos Ive seen it over the top. As other have mentioned, the base engine is still the same and in some videos I've seen cranes and "goalpost" rigging over holds slide off the ship in one piece.

Looking at a lot of ships behind hit by Torp(s) most have huge billowing black smoke explosions with splinters of ship being blown out.

and Ive seen other pics where there's little fire but masses of smoke

I would like to have randomized flooding rates for individual ship compartments, but I am not yet sure if this is possible. If I'm satisfied with the results I will release my changes as a mod.

Good to hear. Likewise, I plan on eventually looking at the ship damage models and if need be, mod them for RUB.

Is that a hint that an SHV RUb is already in the plans?

Do you see any damage from the deckgun on enemy ships ?

Yes, you get similar holes than you get from torpedo hits, only smaller.
