I use the 20% MOD. Because 25% was slightly too powerful in terms of trying to achieve my own preferance in balance between fun and challenge. You may like 25%.

What this mod does:
----------------------------------
The 4 variables that determine the destructive power of each of the six USA Submarine Torpedoes in the game were each inceased. The MK10, MK14, MK16, MK18, MK23, MK27.

There are only 4 moddable numbers for each torpedo's hitting power in the game. These are the minimum and maximum RADIUS of the area on the target that is effected by the torpedo's explosion. And the minimum and maximum EXPLOSIVE POWER of the torpedo warhead. These ranges in value simulate the fact that in real WWII naval warfare, when a torpedo hit a ship the resulting explosion was never guaranteed to be always the same. This MOD keeps true to that simulation. So in this game, when you shoot a torpedo and it hits your target, the resulting damage could be 50% less than the possible maximum.

I checked and rechecked these MODs for mistakes. Like wrong numbers in the modded variables. There are no mistakes in these MODs. So they can be used with confidence.


Why this mod?:
----------------------------------
In my opinion the original torpedoes in this game were slightly underpowered. I wanted to increase that power just enough to balance things out in favor of having more fun and satisfaction. Which has to also include maintaining the game's challenge. So it's not too easy.

The true devastating power and the dread of being on a ship and being struck by a torpedo is enhanced slightly by this MOD. I'm guessing that at least 20% to 25% fewer cripples will occur. Replaced by single shot kills. And the occasional requirement of pumping 4 MK14 torpedoes into a large cargo ship to sink it should be reduced or perhaps even eliminated now. Three strikes and your out, if you work for the Japanese Merchant Marine Fleet on a heavy transport.

Let me know what you think about this MOD.
