When the preenable button is clicked for the fourth time I send the torpedo to the floor depth instead of the launch depth. I wanted a way to launch torpedos deep and then pop them up to attack surface ships.
Another nice change would be the ability to increase the torpedo's speed to max speed without making it go active. If only we had a few more buttons. :hmm:
Luftwold/Amizaur, are either of you interested in this? Is anyone?

Hi!
Well, doing the complete ATC and weapon physics mods are the ultimate project for me, since I have asked another SubSim member to do the database expansion and SCXIIc unit imports. So, my project is currently on hold until this person finishes that project, since the DW structure dictates that only one project can be done at any time, unless someone wants to do their project twice.
Basically, the project involves duplicating all the playable weapons so they have non-playable counterparts, then reconstructing all the torpedo doctrines, creating mulitple doctrines for each playable weapon, some of the non-playable weapons, and all of the non-playable torpedo types. I have a reasonably ambitious plan for expanding the AI's use of torpedoes by allowing them to selectively fire passive weapons and weapons at speeds lower than their max speeds, but that's a finishing touch.
At this time, I'm not in a position to add the ATC to the 3.08 database, so if anyone out their wants to work on it on their own and pass the files around, I actively encourage you to do so, however, the number things in the air at any given time necessitate signifcant testing for most changes so I think it'd be best to think of it as an ongoing project.
Also, some of the weapon doctrines need a bit of work, although they all were working as advertised in the old ATC test for DW 1.03, at least as far as I could tell with the limited amount of testing I have done.
Let me know if you have any specific questions as you go along.
Cheers,
David
