Any information about physics (ship dynamics, depthcharging,...) available?

LGN1 · 02-13-10, 06:12 AM

Hi,

we have seen and heard a lot about the graphics and the RPG stuff, but does anyone know something about the ship's behavior? Has it been improved? Or do they still accelerate like cars, turn like biplanes,...? I guess for a decent sub sim, getting the ship's dynamics right should be of most importance.

And what about the escorts? Can they still hear you while depthcharging? Do they still depthcharge close to own units? Can you use silent running all the time or do you have to stop it for the pumps from time to time? It would be really great to have more information about these aspects.

Best, LGN1

Up to the modders (as usual

).
Your only hope is that SH5 is claimed to be more "moddable" than its grand-pappies.

i think diopos is right.

small hope, to have improvments in sh5 until the modders got hand on it.

well the last video trailer UBI did was showing briefly that ships looked to follw the wave action in a more "real" floating manner so i think this needs more lookingbut so far im happy with what i saw for floatation dynamics.

as to the rest

we will know in 3 weeks

we are NOT going to have that much information before release.
We are going to find out ourselves. Yeah, you know what to expect....

thank God for modders.

Wonder if the deck-guns are gyro-stabilized.

i would FFFFFUUUUUUUUU if i see subs on rail

One other question, do you have to get you crew to flood tanks and handle trim at all?

This is crucial to the correct operation of a submersible craft and has ALWAYS been left out. Miscalculations in this aspect caused many accidents in training and action which is why it was drilled so often.

When will we get a subsim that acutally simulates one of the most important parts of being a submariner?

Hey Tater, I wonder that too

remember, this is a revamped version of the same engine.... where the hell I read they said they were coding a new engine!?
