I downloaded this awesome mod 2 weeks ago and you have done a real great work.

In the start post of this threat i think the most used word is reality. And this is the keyword through the whole thread.

....." RFB 1.5 introduces a new submarine damage model system that is a departure from earlier models. The important thing to note here is that small-caliber (i.e., 20 mm) fire can and will damage your submarine and have a negative effect on your crew's health. In short, this means your sub's hull integrity will slowly be eaten away if you allow an enemy ship to rake your hull with cannon fire, not to mention the crew casualties you will suffer as well. This new system is a work-in-progress and will be improved upon in further RFB releases."

But i think that the damage that all deck guns do to apparently wooden ships is absolut unacceptable.

I am no expert in the behaviour of wood when a shell explodes but i am sure there will be great leak. Why suffers my crew injuries from small caliber weapons as my sub takes damage when i cant do the same to a junk or a sampan ? I have seen sampans a few years ago on the discovery channel in a clip about fishing in old japan. A Sampan is a bathtub with a canvas ! Sometimes with a hut on it which would be very bullish to call a bridge.

I have given up to try to sink just things. My favourite example is a junk in which my crew fired about 8 shots with the 4"50 . Because of my former experience in this case i allowed the crew to start firing @ 800 yds distance. It was clear night with calm sea. The reloading time got a little boring so i went to AA Gun and opened fire. Round about 1000 shots most of them because of the good conditions hits.

Ya off course the junk started burning and so on but that is crazy---Too much for such a little nothing. Next time i give my WP an axe and order him to sink this f.....g junk with his own hands.

Perhaps you can tweak this a little more to reality. Again...this mod is awesome.
