Ships sinking mechanic

spardha · 08-01-11, 10:55 AM

Hi,

Would it be possible to mod SH5 so the sinking of targets is more like SH4? Or is the game to restricted to enable this.

Have you tried the BRF mod? Theres one you can download on here called better and more realistic flotation (or something similar) that re-works the flotation dynamics of the ships so they sink more realistically in game. Just search for it in the downloads section!

I have Heard of BRF but was told not to use it with MO mod i use

FX_Update mod changes the damage/sinking model

And just a day or two ago there was a thread complaining about how unrealistic SH4's sinkings are.

Hi the reason I asked in here is if it hadn't been modded I considering the possibility of me modding it myself

This has been posted to the mod section too http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...173193&page=35

But I thought id post it here for TDW to see this is me sinking what i believe to be the Ark Royal last night, it was a messy situation with a long story but I hit the Ark with 3 Torps to the bow but it still sank level until it was fully submerged.

Video of Ark Sinking.

That vid is very similar to what I see on most of my downed vessels... wonder if this means that I've done something wrong with the FX update, or is it meant to be like that? Sure I've never seen one tip sideways or sink heavy from one end in SH5 as they do in 4, but I have seen a few break in two. Maybe TDW knows?

This is why I posted the vid, much easier to get the point across.

By all means, please go for it. People who can mod are at a premium these days.
