Deck Gun Viewport Camera to be destabilized in GWX 2.1

Kpt. Lehmann · 02-19-08, 05:47 AM

For the release of GWX 1.0 we detabilized the laser guided aim of the player U-boat AI crew using the deck gun.

Following the release of GWX 2.1, direct usage of the deck gun by the player is now destabilized effectively destroying the uber-accuracy when used by the player.

Warning... arcade players will HATE this modification. It will become default GWX material and no optional mod to remove it will be included with the GWX 2.1 update.

This change should help knock the incessant deck gun debating on its head. Reload times, rate-of-fire, and potential damage debates won't matter much when you have hell just hitting the target. Indeed, your AI crew (even though they are not very accurate due to their own previously existing destabilization coding) will be much more effective than your own manning of the deck gun.

Ammunition expenditure should go up... and early war "uber tonnage deck gun patrols" should be lessened as a result.

Way to go Privateer! Another game limitation smashed.

(Theoretically, I guess we should destabilize the UZO as well... but methinks even the hardest of the hardcore guys may want to lynch us for that one.)

This is the zoomed view/range fiders for the deck gun, just to check. As for the UZO, that should be destabalised as well. If the bridge is moving, the master-sight should move as well. :p

Just to clarify. All zoom levels for the deck gun are affected. The camera destabilization is more evident with each zoom level.

Good call, El Kapitan & the team.

Sailor Steve · 02-19-08, 06:16 AM

Just watched it.

Brilliant!

FIREWALL · 02-19-08, 06:26 AM

Hi S.S. Good Morning.

It's 3:30 am here I guess were both up early.

Sailor Steve · 02-19-08, 06:30 AM

Yep, 4:32 now here in Salt Lake. I went to bed early, and was awakened just after midnight by my two roommates crashing things in the front hall. Seems one of them found a 40" TV advertised online for free, and they made a 60-mile round trip to get it.

I loaded up SH3 for a late dinner, and then came here for dessert.

Could you turn stabilization ON for the attack scope?
This would be historical as it had a device to stabilise the image.

I can't view the video.
Is it V1 or V2?

That option will still be in the realism menu... right? Why is this a realism option anyway?

because the SH3 devs wrongly assumed there was no stabilisation device.

Sounds like your roommates scored bigtime

Erich Topp · 02-19-08, 10:22 AM

Well, do you want to have your leg cutted instead of curing your kneel one day?)) I guess not. In reality ships could take 70-80 shell hits to sink. Hits. Not shots. Reducing "killing shot" probability didn't removes the split problem at all. And why? 'cause of "hollywood effects"? Eyes-candy of flying debris? Bah.
Good news, anyway)) More work to do after release for tweaking mod.
Problems are in the heads first, in the mods second. Damn, it's so hard to lower damage radius? Few mins in the tweaker program. "Hollywood effects" is more important, yeah?

Meridian · 02-19-08, 10:27 AM

Sorry, doesn't seem that realistic to me.....

I've always hung bernard by the throat from the end of the barrel so it doesn't move as much. :rotfl:

Nice job guys.
