Ability List
here is a complete ability list i ripped of the game files. i added some notations, as well as my own experiences with that abilities. the reason i did this list is due to the fact that the ingame description are very vague, lack of details or are simply wrong.:down: some of them have hidden effects you possibly do not even be aware of.
since sh5 become much more rpg-style and abilities have great influence on game mechanics you should know a few things about them and how they work. exact knowledge of these effects should maximize your performance out there. remember: in war, knowledge is pure power.

Good job raziel, this should be stickied and edited from time to time so that everyone can better understand what every ability does.:up:
|
"50% speed increase?"
http://blog.tmcnet.com/blog/tom-keat...-star-trek.gif "Ya canna change the laws of physics!" A few tenths of a knot here or there, maybe (which can be significant nonetheless), but not a u-boat with a 27 knot surface speed?!? |
Once that SH5 Wiki Neal hints about with his stuck thread is up, this should be put in posthaste.

CHIEF ENGINEER Repair All Subsystems Level 1: Instant Repair Subsystems Morale Cost: All Points Duration: Instant Cooldown: 8 Hours Type: Active Note: currently highly bugged, also highly unrealistic. I mean, seriously, what does he do, wave a magic wand? Hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete on some central u-boat computer? This one should definitely have to go. Increased Repair Rate Level 1: +10% Repair Speed Level 2: +20% Repair Speed Level 3: +30% Repair Speed Morale Cost: 1 Duration: 10 Minutes Cooldown: 1 Hour 12 Minutes Type: Active,This one can stay. An officer should be perfectly able to yell at his guys to get them to do double-time when needed. Having never worked on u-boat engines, I can't comment on the efficiency rates. Reduce Flooding Times Level 1: +20% Flooding Time Morale Cost: 1 Duration: 10 Minutes Cooldown: 1 Hour 12 Minutes Type: Active Note: at the current time simply awful. 20% does not help to prevent sinking in most cases. when you are sinking you are ****ed... How do they reduce flooding rates in the first place? Telling the water to flow slower:-?? Isn't the evacuating of water, too, an automatic thing done by pumps? I'd be more in favour of an ability that stopped flooding faster. EXECUTIVE OFFICER Battle Stations Level 1: +20% Ability Times, +30% Passive Type Effects Morale Cost: 1 Duration: Turn On/Off Cooldown: 30 Seconds Type: Active Shortkey: F7 Note: very useful. cheap with big buffs. for bigger battles dont hesitate to turn it on See below. Silent Running Level 1: Almost Invisible For Sonar Morale Cost: 1 Duration: Turn On/Off Cooldown: 30 Seconds Type: Active Shortkey: F8 Note: Needs Submerged State Note2: slow speed should do the trick too...Why are these two "abilities", tied to this officer? I should be able to order Silent Running whenever I wanted to, and not have to wait for some stupid cool-down before I can use it again. "Sorry, Herr Kaleun, you can only tell us to be quiet through the Executive Officer, and he's wounded at the moment"? What? MOTOR OFFICER Overcharge Diesel Level 1: +10% Surface Speed, +20% Fuel Consume Level 2: +20% Surface Speed, +30% Fuel Consume Level 3: +30% Surface Speed, +50% Fuel Consume Morale Cost: 1, 2, 3 Duration: 10 Min, 15 Min, 24 Min Cooldown: 72 Min, 48 Min, 24 Min Shortkey: F9 Type: Active Note: useless ability. you will run out off fuel quickly and warships are faster anyway. Agreed. This one needs tweaking and I don't know if it should even stay in. Is "Overcharge diesel" even a meaningful phrase? Sounds like technobabble from someone who knows zilch about motors. Overcharge E-Engine Level 1: +10% Dive Speed, +20% Battery Consume Level 2: +20% Dive Speed, +30% Battery Consume Level 3: +30% Dive Speed, +50% Battery Consume Morale Cost: 1, 2, 3 Duration: 10 Min, 15 Min, 24 Min Cooldown: 72 Min, 48 Min, 24 Min Shortkey: F10 Type: Active Note: see above Indeed. Speed Increase Level 1: +5% Submarine Speed Level 2: +10% Submarine Speed Level 3: +15% Submarine Speed Level 4: +20% Submarine Speed Level 5: +25% Submarine Speed Type: Passive All these very likely need tweaking. Reduced Battery Recharge Time Level 1: -10% Recharge Time Level 2: -20% Recharge Time Level 3: -30% Recharge Time Level 4: -40% Recharge Time Level 5: -50% Recharge Time Type: Passive Reduced Engine Noise Level 1: -5% Noise Signature Level 2: -10% Noise Signature Level 3: -15% Noise Signature Level 4: -20% Noise Signature Level 5: -25% Noise Signature Type: Passive NAVIGATOR Reduced Diving Times Level 1: -5% Diving Times Level 2: -10% Diving Times Level 3: -15% Diving Times Level 4: -20% Diving Times Level 5: -25% Diving Times Type: Passive Maximize Diving Depth Level 1: +5% Diving Depth Level 2: +10% Diving Depth Level 3: +15% Diving Depth Level 4: +20% Diving Depth Level 5: +25% Diving Depth Type: Passive Another totally unrealistic one which should just be removed outright. Increased Manoeuvrability Level 1: +6% Surface Turn Rate Level 2: +12% Surface Turn Rate Level 3: +18% Surface Turn Rate Level 4: +24% Surface Turn Rate Level 5: +30% Surface Turn Rate Type: Passive Same. TORPEDOMAN Preheat Torpedo: Level 1: +25% Torpedo Damage, -10% Torpedo Speed Level 2: +50% Torpedo Damage, -20% Torpedo Speed Level 3: +75% Torpedo Damage, -30% Torpedo Speed Morale Cost: 1, 2, 3 Duration: 10 Min, 10 Min, 10 Min Cooldown: 72 Min, 48 Min, 24 Min Type: Active Shortkey: F12 Note: Works or all torp types! currently bugged with manual tdc. just use it for straight on shots or close distance!!! Needs tweaking to be realistic; should only be usable on torpedoes that needed pre-heating. Overcharge Torpedo: Level 1: +10% Torpedo Range, +5% Dud Chance Level 2: +20% Torpedo Range, +4% Dud Chance Level 3: +30% Torpedo Range, +2% Dud Chance Morale Cost: 1 Duration: 10 Min, 10 Min, 10 Min Cooldown: 72 Min, 48 Min, 24 Min Type: Active Shortkey: F11 Note: Works or all torp types! fire from safe distances!!! I don't think it's possible to over-clock torpedoes. They're a bit different from graphic cards in that respect. Increased Torpedo Speed Level 1: +4% Torpedo Damage, +4% Torpedo Speed Level 2: +8% Torpedo Damage, +8% Torpedo Speed Level 3: +12% Torpedo Damage, +12% Torpedo Speed Level 4: +16% Torpedo Damage, +16% Torpedo Speed Level 5: +20% Torpedo Damage, +20% Torpedo Speed Type: Passive Again, how is this achieved? If your torpedo guy knows of a way to tinker with his eels to make them 20% faster, you'd think it'd be a good idea for him to tell the engineers back in Germany. Reduced Torpedo Loading Times Level 1: -6% Torpedo Reload Time Level 2: -12% Torpedo Reload Time Level 3: -18% Torpedo Reload Time Level 4: -24% Torpedo Reload Time Level 5: -30% Torpedo Reload Time Type: Passive Needs nerfing, I suppose, but makes sense for your torpedo loading crew to get better at their job over time. Reduced Torpedo Dud Chance Level 1: -10% Torpedo Dud Chance Level 2: -20% Torpedo Dud Chance Level 3: -30% Torpedo Dud Chance Level 4: -40% Torpedo Dud Chance Level 5: -50% Torpedo Dud Chance Type: Passive Should probably be removed outright along with the other "let's see if we can open this thing up and make it twice as powerful" options for the torps. BOSUN Propaganda Level 1: +10% Effect Times, +10% Cooldown Times Level 2: +20% Effect Times, +20% Cooldown Times Level 3: +30% Effect Times, +30% Cooldown Times Morale Cost: 1 Duration: 10 Min, 10 Min, 10 Min Cooldown: 72 Min, 48 Min, 24 Min Type: Active Note: watch out, it will increase the cooldown times for all other abilities!!! Besides from that bug, should probably be left in, and possibly nerfed. Riposte Level 1: -80% Torpedo Reload Time Level 2: -80% Torpedo Reload Time Level 3: -80% Torpedo Reload Time (no error by me!) Morale Cost: 1, 2, 3 Duration: 24 Min, 24 Min, 24 Min Cooldown: 72 Min, 48 Min, 24 Min Type: Active Note: never used it. you have 5 tubes, that should be enough. the level up bonus is minimal. also there is no shortkey for it.Apart from the fact that you have to go all the way down to the torpedo room for it, I guess this one is okay. But an 80% increase is of course way over the top:nope:. Reduced Morale Decay Level 1: -4% Morale Degeneration Rate Level 2: -8% Morale Degeneration Rate Level 3: -12% Morale Degeneration Rate Level 4: -16% Morale Degeneration Rate Level 5: -20% Morale Degeneration Rate Type: Passive Needs nerfing? Reduced O² Consumption Level 1: -10% O² Decrease Rate Level 2: -20% O² Decrease Rate Level 3: -30% O² Decrease Rate Level 4: -40% O² Decrease Rate Level 5: -50% O² Decrease Rate Type: Passive "Hey, let's play a game, 'see who can hold their breaths the longest!'". Aw, come on. COOK Special Meal Level 1: +1 Morale Point, -5% Passive Effects! Level 2: +2 Morale Point, -10% Passive Effects! Level 3: +3 Morale Point, -15% Passive Effects! Morale Cost: 0 Duration: 10 Min, 10 Min, 10 Min Cooldown: 12 Hours!, 336 Min, 140 Min Type: Active Note: only use it before combat or in an emergency! Good idea, but needs some work, and really should be blocked during combat. Max Morale Level 1: +1 Max Morale Point Level 2: +2 Max Morale Points Level 3: +3 Max Morale Points Level 4: +4 Max Morale Points Level 5: +5 Max Morale Points Type: Passive Leave in? Don't know enough about the morale system to tell. SOUNDMAN Reveal Convoys Level 1: 120km Revealed, +20% Enemy Engine Noises Level 2: 180km Revealed, +50% Enemy Engine Noises Level 3: 300km Revealed, +100% Enemy Engine Noises Morale Cost: 1, 2, 3 Duration: 10 Min, 10 Min, 10 Min Cooldown: 72 Min, 48 Min, 24 Min Type: Active Note: very useful for those special target missions. lvl3 reveals half england!!! Remove outright. Psychics aren't real. Visual Contacts Level 1: Sonar Contact Becomes Visual On TAI Level 2: Sonar Contact Becomes Visual On TAI Level 3: Sonar Contact Becomes Visual On TAI Morale Cost: 1, 2, 3 Duration: 6 Hours, 12 Hours, 1 Day Cooldown: 72 Min, 48 Min, 24 Min Type: Active Note: combined with "reveal" and "overcharge" a snipers wet dream!!! go, get 10km kills!!!

Reduced Sonar Darkness Penalty Level 1: -5% Sonar Range Penalty Level 2: -10% Sonar Range Penalty Level 3: -15% Sonar Range Penalty Level 4: -20% Sonar Range Penalty Level 5: -25% Sonar Range Penalty Type: Passive Nor that they worked less efficiently in darkness:rotfl2:. RADIOMAN Safe Communication Level 1: -25% Chance Of Being Revealed Level 2: -50% Chance Of Being Revealed Level 3: -100% Chance Of Being Revealed Morale Cost: 1, 2, 3 Duration: 10 Min, 10 Min, 10 Min Cooldown: 72 Min, 48 Min, 24 Min Type: Active Note: i very doubt the need of that ability, but whatever... Needs heavy nerfing, or outright removal. Boost Radio Detection Level 1: +4% Detection Times/Range Level 2: +8% Detection Times/Range Level 3: +12% Detection Times/Range Level 4: +16% Detection Times/Range Level 5: +20% Detection Times/Range Type: Passive Tweak this and the one below. I buy that one would get better at picking up stuff using radar and radio with time, but 20% and 25% seems overdone. Boost Radar Detection Level 1: +5% Detection Times/Range Level 2: +10% Detection Times/Range Level 3: +15% Detection Times/Range Level 4: +20% Detection Times/Range Level 5: +25% Detection Times/Range Type: Passive Tweak.

Accuracy and damage, I get, although damage should of course just be a natural by-product of increased accuracy -- but range and shell speed? Reduced Gun Reload Times Level 1: -10% Gun Reload Time Level 2: -20% Gun Reload Time Level 3: -30% Gun Reload Time Level 4: -40% Gun Reload Time Level 5: -50% Gun Reload Time Type: Passive Note: lvl5 doubles the deck gun rate of fire!!! Needs tweaking, in other words. So basically, many of them need to be nerfed, and some need to be removed outright or replaced by other, more realistic abilities. |
as i said: i took the values directly from the game files. 50% increase in speed results in 25 knots surface and 10-11 knots dive speed, yes true story.
for my liking the abilities make the game unrealistic and far to easy. maybe i do a realistic mod for that once the bugs are fixed. edit: safe-keeper, your absolutly right with your comments. i think that overcharge should be tweaked because you suffer drawbacks as well and the rest that enhance your boat should be highly nerfed. torpedo and guns need more realism, no doubt about that. silent running has only 30 seconds wait time, but what the hell!? in my version i made it already instant recharge. flooding times are explained by "faster pumping speed" O_o riposte: since there is no shortkey for it, u have to leave the periscope, climb down the ladder, turn left, speak to the officer. then it is active and you have to do the targeting again.... in that time the torp is already reloaded. and 5 tubes are enough to kill most convoys, at least for me. shell speed: the projectile travels faster and more straight. its far easier to hit, since the angle doesnt matter that much anymore. 8,8 projectile= ~1100m/s after buff ~1600m/s unrealistic i know |
the abilities need a serious "nerf" because this isn't a simulator anymore, it's turning uboats into friggin modern age nuclear submarines :arrgh!:
|
Reduced O2 consumption is really dumb as passive ability. You simply can't breath less than you need.
As an active ability it would be fine -> Crew has to use their "Kalipatronen" (CO2 absorbers) which extends the time you can stay submerged. Flooding/Pumping Bonus also makes sense, good trained sailors are better/faster with damage control. |
Yes, this ability list is cheating in one word, and some really ridiculous
It must be heavily modded or patched to convert shV in a true simulator :nope: it´s a game killer that with abilities at full the sub can work well or better than a XXI boat |

absolutely. going to release my mod, however it will be plain simple and beta state. to make this game realistic and get rid of this casual gamer/arcade disease will require a ****load of work...and i do not have the time/effort to do that, ecspecially as long as the bugs are not fixed.
however i see what i can do. |
To my mind every single one of those is stupid and unrealistic. Any bonus gained in any department should be based on the crew's experience, not morale.
If you're going to have morale it should start at peak, and maybe department efficiency goes down as it falls. The captain needs to keep morale up, not create it from scratch. This is one of the things that needs to be changed completely, not just 'fixed'. My opinion, anyway. |
Absolutely agree. I dislike the RPG system of spending experience on fields of your choice enough as I do in RPG's, but in a simulator:nope:?
As you said, I've got nothing against morale and experience being in the game, but they should be realistic -- morale should be dependent on events (and perhaps the overall strategic situation), and crew should gain skills only by using them, not by getting magical "promotion points" from their skipper. Oh, and why on earth is morale a kind of "Magic Points" or "Mana" that you spend on doing something? No abilities should have "Morale costs", that's just ridiculous. Quote:

Other than that, I think an "About the game" thread would be nice. And I'm not talking about an "OMG SH5 sux" or "this game is the best thing since special soup!" thread, but a kind of "mini-Wiki"/"community manual" thread where we list the game's features, like abilities, such as how the ability works, the above ability list, etc. |
