Any charts of ships sweet spots.

Armistead · 01-15-11, 02:54 PM

Seems like someone made a color chart in SH3 of all the ships sweet spots. Each was different. Just wondering what different componants make up a ship. Seems in SH3 was

Propulsion
Machinery
Engines
Magazines
Keels/bunkers

Each of these had different damage responses for the ship and the load out carried. I assume mods damage zones may have changed things from stock. Really wonder how much more damage keel shots do, moreso with TMORSRD. You can blow a hole in the bottom of the keel, just wonder if it doe's more damage in game regarding updated damage zones, ect.

Anyone know of a chart for SH4.

G'day Armistead,

Can't help you with the chart I'm affraid but I once had an odd thing happen while playing sh3:

On one patrol only, and for no apparent reason, the recognition manual was displaying the various compartments ("sweet spots") superimposed on the ships' images!

Don't know if I accidently stumbled on a cheat or if it was just a bug, but maybe someone will know why it happened and whether it can be made to happen in SH4.

IIRC that happens with automatic targeting (with the green triangle) in SH3, not sure if it works the same way in SH4.

It doesn't work in SH4 that I've ever seen.

In SH3, I believe, you had to be within a certain range, a certain AoB, with automatic targeting. You could then click on the "sweet spots" that were displayed, and pretty much get a one shot kill when you fired.
