[REL] sobers reduced deck gun range mod SH5
 

sobers reduced deck gun range mod V2 SH5
The deck gun range is reduced .
The reload time for the deck guns are slower .
The barrel traverse speed is slower .
Say goodbye to high tonnage with the deckgun .

''The U-boat however, was a poor gun platform since it rolled a lot, and ocean waves frequently washed over, making the gun platform slippery and hazardous. To prevent the crews from being washed over, they were fastened with life lines. A further factor was deck guns had no range finders, so engagements had to be done at close range.''
install with the mod enabler anytime .
Dont let it be overwriten .

...finaly a bit more realism for the deck gun, what about the rate of fire... can you also look over it, as it is unrealistic high, even with a green crew.

The scripting is in Silent Hunter 5\data\Scripts\Stations\DeckGun
I dont do scripting .

I will have a look at goblin and see whats in the sim file .

i saw you edited the cfg file to reduce the range, shure the ships are not effected ?

i think it would be better editing this files, range and rof should be stored there.

\data\Objects\Guns\Deck_Gun_GE88mm.sim
\data\Objects\Guns\Deck_Gun_GE105mm.sim

...never real worked with goblin, not shure if you can edit the sim files there, but hex would go ... maybe TDW or his new tool ?

Done , download version 2 . Anything else ?

wow that was very fast :DL

THX !

...you still send the cfg file with it, can`t you adjust the range in the sim file also ?

...just affraid that the ships are affected :timeout:

I will have a look . There is nothing to change regarding how close you have to be to an object for the gun to fire in the sim file . Does the cfg file alter the ship guns or as i hoped just the sub AI ?

Just as i thought . The cfg file only affects the submarine deck buns .

i had a look at the sh4 sim files, there is a gun range value...

i know that \data\sim.cfg change the range for all ai, but iam not shure for the cfg file you use, its just that iam affraid :)

I just had 2 dds blow the ship out of me from a long range :yep:

nice thats ok then, but what if the player guns by himself... this restriction wont work then or :06:

... on the other hand, if the range value isnt stored in the sim file or isnt changeable, its a large step forward !

Dont know what you mean .

the cfg file only affects ai, no the player... so if you enter the deck gun by yourself, the range restriction isnt working any more.

I dont know .

if you also or only changed the range in the sim file, it should also affect the player, but iam not shure if the balistic is working corretly then :D
