what mods for DC
 

i just bought DC and i am wondering what mods i should use.

The first and absolutely essential thing you need is the official Ubi 1.1 patch.

Next you need the unofficial patch that fixes the problems the official patch didn't, mainly making DC and SH2 work together properly.

Then just go down the list here:

The Vickers mods in the Graphics section make a huge difference.

thanks

any others i should be arare of optional ones like gsraphics gameplay? a supper mod?

about the main battery, DC
 

The main battery guns in DC seem a bit too ineffective. I often have multiple hits against a target-Japanese Destroyer in one-on-one combat, but my Destroyer is always killed first, even when I have crossed the T, and am shooting with 5 guns and the Japanese Destroyer is only shooting with 1. Is there a mod that will make the US guns more effective in inflicting damage?

Thanks,

Ted

I just saw this post on the subsim archive which should help...

The part at the bottom seems to be most relevant.

"""Most of the range dispersion data I have come across appears to be at "BattleRanges". For the data I have this usually works out to about 80% of maximum range. Therefore, I set the ElevationError and TransversalError entries in the *.ddf files as follows:

ElevationError = 0.192 ; Extremely tight range pattern - 1.5% of range at 80% maximum range
ElevationError = 0.321 ; Tight range pattern - 2.5% of range at 80% maximum range
ElevationError = 0.641 ; Average range pattern - 5% of range at 80% maximum range
ElevationError = 0.962 ; Large range pattern - 7.5% of range at 80% maximum range

Naval guns usually have very tight deflection patterns. For all guns I set:
TransversalError = 0.285---"""

To change the US 5"/38 gun go into Destroyer Command/Sim/Sytem and experiment and edit the file : GunUS.5inchSingle.ddf
