It's raining battlehips !

[SteamWake]

Okay this was weird.

Running all stock except mighty fine crew mod.

I attacked a DD oustide some harbor and wow musta hit the powder magazine because he lit up like the fourth of july. I surfaced to admire my handy work and watched the ship sink.

Well then thats when I continued to watch when woosh from out of the sky comes falling the sunk battleship ! it hit the water with little splash bobbed once and immediatly sunk

So glad i wasent underneath it

I dident blow it up into the air I watched it sink and it was shallow water. Very strange.

U sunk a DD or a BB? Sounds like u mixed them up.

DD is destroyer

BB is battleship

I think he sunk a DD and then a flying BB dropped from the sky.

This is realistic.
Lancasters, Halifaxes and Short Sterlings where all modified to
drop lifeboats down to stranded crew.
Dropping battleships in the same way would be much easier
because it is far easier to drop a heavy thing like a battleship
than it is to drop a light thing like a lifeboat.
Heavy things are just easier to drop because gravity drags them down more.

Science!™

I witnessed something similar on the training mission. On the way back to Kiel I stumbled upon a lone merchant, and I just wanted to see how the "salvo" shot worked. So I lined up on him, set the shot for salvo and fired.
Man, all four torps hit each in succesion, and that ship just went apart like I've never before seen in any previous sinkings in SH3.
Then just to see I went to external view and raced to the sinking, broke in half ship. Was in somewhat shallow water probably about 20-30m so it didnt take long to hit bottom. Well the stern half sank stern up, while the bow half landed on it's bottom.
But the stern half hit, then plunged right through the sea floor, and disappeared.
The fore half remained though, just lying there.

It's possible that thats what happened with yours, and by plunging through the sea floor, it then cycled back into the world from above.
Just a geuss.

When you struck ship in shallow waters this is what happen. Some of ships do the barrel rolls,other dance like Fred Astaire or simply clip thru the bottom in seizure.

Science actually says that an object, heavy or light, accelerate with a constant speed towards earth (9,82m/s2). What matters is resistances and as a liftboat has a higher wind drag-ration to its weight compared to a BB, it will 'sink' slower than a BB.

I belive the buglist for the stock SH5 will defy reason. Luckily we are all beta-testers.

Seafloor clipping is commonplace. I wish I'd see one dropping from the sky though.

Apparently, also liners and transports sometimes fall from the Heavens

Found this funny image a few days ago while browsing some other forum:
Notice that also lifeboats do fall, too (just to contradict that earlier post).

Yeah, and he didn't take a screenie of that? Dang'it.

[OakGroove]

It's perfectly normal. I see this every day:



Looks like they licensed BI's "alternate reality" physics engine.

[Diopos]

Nothing unusual. The guy living in the flat above is also playing SH!

Perhas an anomaly worty of beeing called an easter egg?

Its raining battleships! Hallelujah!
