I'd be interested to know if TGW and NYGM use the same damage model. Most of the complaints such as that given by VIICDriver seem to come from TGW. I use NYGM, and I've not had any experiences even close to that.
I also think Sailor Steve is correct in saying them number of catastrophic explosions are excessive in stock SHIII. Certainly major warships are far too easy to sink, and aircraft too easy to bring down.
Guess the issue is how to make it more realistic without ending up with stupid results at either end (i.e. for small ships or large warships).
BTW, please read carefully my initial paragraph. It is a request for information, not a suggestion that one mod is better than another. I have acknowledged that they appear to differ in some of the reports as to sinking behaviour, but that is merely as an explanation of the reason for which I have asked my opening question.
In other words, I don't want to get jumped on by people feeling they need to 'defend' either mod, nor is it a discussion of both mods - apart from the question as to how they treat sinking and people's different experiences with them.
I hope that's clear!
