[req] ships draught

Is it possible to make a mod where ships have deeper or shallower draught according to their loadout?

I.e. heavily laden ships that have a greater draught than ships with empty cargo holds? And, would that als have any effect on how they sink?

One problem with ships riding lower in the water is that there is a good chance they'd sink because of the way the game deals with shipping water.

It's odd that we've all seen ships with a couple fish in them steam away, decks awash, and at the same time we've all likely seen undamaged ships wallow and sink in a storm with less water over the decks, lol.

Lade: to put (something) on or in, as a burden, load, or cargo; load.

Laden: burdened; loaded down.

I don't see the problem.

I've complained about the same thing in SH3: the most likely ships to sink in a storm are the Flower class corvettes. While they were uncomfortable to be in (Nicholas Monsarrat said they would "roll on wet grass"), the same short, tubby shape that made them uncomfortable also made them stable overall. Destroyers tried to plow through waves, corvettes rode over them. Several destroyers were lost to storms; no corvettes that I can think of.

I don't see the problem.

Me neither, people sometimes think they have a better grasp of a language then they really do. In the end its just funny.

To my Dutch compatriotes: Geeft inderdaad niks hoor. Zeker niet wanneer het klopt. (Dit is overigens niet venijnig bedoeld, iedereen vergist zich weleens. )

Back to the subject though, its not a big deal to me if it can't be done.
It would just be a nice touch, beeing able to tell if a ship is carrying a lot of cargo. It could help in guessing in how many torpedoes would do the job.

My guess is that empty, or near empty ships would go down faster then ones carrying a lot of cargo. But I'm no expert, ideas anyone?

Laden is fine.

I remember I was trekking in Nepal in the 80s. There was a Dutch couple that we ended up staying with in many villages since we all seemed to walk at the same rate. We played a lot of scrabble with them.

They could beat us in multiple languages, lol. (the wost game was when my buddy and I played in english, and they got to play in dutch, they always got to add endings to our words and cream us, heheh.
