Weathering

Andyman23 · 08-21-09, 11:25 PM

What do you guys think about having weathering occur on your boat during long patrols? I'm not sure exactly how you would implement it, and it may be nit-picky, but i think it would really add to the immersion and realism of the game, seeing you boat come back into port with a fine weathered, battle-hardened look to it. (especially since I'm an IX fanatic and my patrols are usually several months long, so a significant amount of weathering would take place.)

what are your thoughts?

Great idea.. rustiness, paint fading and chipping..

Battle damage as well, any kind of battering maybe from severe weather even.

When.. say your periscope is damaged it should be bent or burnt, realistic turm damage, mangled railings/AA guns etc...

I like this idea.

We can only hope.

Good idea. Will go well with the bearded crew.

It's not so far fetched, it would just require for new textures to be loaded at certain intervals during a patrol, looking progessivley more weathered each time.

That would be a great idea. I know in SH3 if your deck gun or AA guns were destroyed, they would show up as slightly bent. I'd like to see some nice damage effects...twisted metal, busted deck plates. But nothing as ridiculous as the gaping holes in your sub a la SH4.

Exactly... I mean.. the gaping holes can be replaced with the crumpled beer can look.

yeah, while the weathering would be cool, i think good damage effects are also needed
