SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - View Single Post - [REQ] Simple way to tweak deck gun damage levels?

Searched around a bit, but couldn't find what I was looking for. I D/L'ed the set of tweak files I found in the modding tutorial link, and tried the sub gun tweak files, but they only let you tweak a small number of factors and the amount of damage inflicted didn't seem to be one of them

Here's what I want to do - been playing around with RFB and generally I really like it, but I am a little tired of pumping almost all my deck gun ammo into a small/medium freighter and seeing no damage or effect until maybe the 170-180th hit or worse. I don't want to get involved in the "realism wars" of discussing whether Beery's RFB settings are correct or not - I suspect they're pretty darn close, and I don't want to revert to stock values and start sending DDs and 7,000 ton freighters to the bottom with 10 or 15 shots. But I would like to up the damage levels inflicted by the deck guns by maybe 5-10% or so, and see if maybe I can start doing some visible damage and at least disabling if not sinking at least some of the smaller merchants with maybe 70-100 shells.

Anybody know if there's another set of tweak files or some other way to easily play around with these settings without totally screwing up a bunch of other stuff in the process?
