No acoustic torps??

Denson · 02-21-10, 08:46 AM

Since the game ends in 1943 we wont have acoustic torps to our disposal.
They were used from september 1943.
That's a shame.
I liked to play mouse hunting the big cat.

I should imagine it won't be long before someone mods in an early introduction of the Falke.

Yes, but the basics of the "follow the sound" behavior should be included in the game engine, in the code, I think. Otherwise, I see no way someone could "instruct" a torpedo to change its course and simulate this very specific behavior.

If the game is going to be as mod friendly as some suggest, will this not be doable though

Depends how they implemented the 'moddability'. There needs to be some way to instruct the torpedo, either by a hardcoded controller, or by access to some scripting language and game variables.

All will be revealed in March

It wont be possible...
they would shoot themselves in the foot if it were possible,
bacsue it would make a 43/45 addon redundant...

I tend to agree with Gustav, with a twist. I think it will be moddable when/if UBI releases an add-on or DLC that finishes the war wth those torps included. That way the code is there for the modders as needed. I liken the SH 3,4,5 modders here at SUBSIM to BASF. "They did not make Silent Hunter, they just made it better (WAY BETTER)."

It depends,

if the dev team use SH4 as a base for SHV and they don´t remove the files or code perhaps could exist the possibility of use or add radars, and homing torpedos.

I remember sh4 instalation with uboat files and references of sh3 inside

But if they want a future DLC perhaps it could be deleted to make it impossible

Eh, not quite. The T IV 'Falke' was first tested under combat conditions with 6 U-boats in February-March 1943 (U-603, U-758, and U-221 among them) and cleared for general operational use on 1 July 1943.

Wilcke · 02-21-10, 09:16 PM

FIDO also comes to mind and the idea of being able to implement this air drop ASW weapon that added additional horrors for the U-Boats. Would be nice to see in SH5.

The first known sinking of a U-Boat by a FIDO occurred in May of '43.

March will tell all!

There's no hardcore limit for how far you can play in the world, it's just how far OUR campaign goes.

From the few bits of info that we've got I take Neals interview as a solid. So 1944 etc. should be modable. However, whether you are able to adjust the behaviour of torpedoes to such an extend is written (or rather not written) on another page.

I apologise i was reffering to G7es aka Zaunkönig T-5.

You have to be a level 20 captain to use acoustic torps.

In torpedoes_g7-e.sim I found this:

They are real playable torpedoes.
