So what does this have to do with NYGM?

The "almost definitely sunk" I think sums it up nicely...

I might have done a save in between - but not reload - is this forbidden too?

Never caused me any issues.....

The 'when' a ship is sunk is still a mystery to me in so far as I have had AG124's Park ship during tests listed as sunk before any part of the deck has been tounched by water and at other times have had the same ship, with the same values when hit in a different location being 2/3rds under the water before being listed as sunk.

There is little NYGM can do about this

All torps were set to 11m depth, magnetic impact, and all hit different parts of the ship. I use time compression between torps to see effects of hits.

I have not seen how many HP's the GW ship has. If it uses the NYGM Ship Damage Mod file then it would require 12 torpedoes to run out of HP's.

And yes, I had other ships which sank fine.

The german destroyers still have the old damage model right? They usually blew up from one torp.

Yes the German ships have not had thier HP raised in the NYGM SD Mod, however they still by default use the NYGM SD values as that is how the game works.


It is obvious that the NYGM Ship Damage Mod is far from perfect, I am not trying to say that it is. Never have, never will.

But as I have always stated... "within the limitations of the SHIII Damage Engine"
