Ship acceleration mod?

[Fubar2Niner]

Ok so here it is, I have crept into Gib, sank Nelson and also a Southampton class. Crept out, then back all the time being stalked by a pesky ASW trawler. After 2 hours d/c I slip him and return on course back to kill a destroyer and another Southampton class.

Here is the scene it's 23.55 the weather is abysmal, I'm running at slow decks awash. Suddenly I get warship 500m ! I look thru the uzo, it's that damn ASW. Check the recognition manual.... Hmm 15 knts max speed, draft 5.3.....

Sweet I already have a fish set to impact at 3.5 meters, slow speed setting, thats 30 knts, tube door is already open in prep for the destroyer.

I shoot at 490 meters..................... the bloody ASW takes off like a F15 on full AB!!!! How in hell does it accelerate so fast ???

Now I remember a long ways back someone made a mod to try correct this absurd speed, but buggered if I can remember who made it or what it was called.

Any of you knowledgeable kaleuns with some history remember this mod?

I'm kinda getting peed off losing eels to ships with warp drive

Best regards.

I've never seen such a thing in SH3. What mods are you using ? And whgat precise ship was it ? I really want to recreate such a thingh in my game (i'm just curious) ! And I agree, that's ... shameful.

To get in there, there are mines at different heights and it is no cakewalk if you have a high realistic level of the game regarding ASW Travler are they always there waiting out one, a rear shot, tends to help, they're pretty simple target,and btwregarding the mod, I have unfortunately no help to assist with...not yet but I still search.

Ship was as Vendor stated, an ASW Trawler.......... retro fitted with Nitrous Oxide boosters it seems

@Vendor

Getting in was a breeze mate, mainly owing to the appaling weather. Agreed re the easy ASW target, or so I thought. But when the little bugger accelerates from 0 to lightspeed in no time ??????? Like I say my eel was prep'd, tube doors open, fish fired @490 mtrs, speed 30 knots, impact fuse. Should have been a dead cert !!

Playing @84% realism (would be 94 but can't live without external views, for screenshots!).
