[lorka42]

Unrealistic and extremely fun warning!!!
Silent Fire SH5


This mod is dedicated to the memory of
Snaptrap 1971-2008

JSGME ready



Known bugs
-Some depth keeping problems while turning at high speed(@20m +/-).
-Auto TDC does not update entirely correctly for the increased torpedo speed, If your torpedoman is upgraded, same as vanilla sh5.
-Sub "Wriggles®" at high speed/TC(moves like a snake) when using way points. Under 25kts this goes away/under 32x TC this goes away. After ordering midship rudder this goes away.
Feature List:

1) All currently playable subs now travel at 50 kts surfaced and submerged with virtually unlimited range
2) All guns now have 32000 ammo for all shell types except SS
3) All torpedoes speeds have been increased by 100kts
4) All torpedoes damage, and explosive range have been increased by a factor of 10,magnetic detonation range increased to 20 m, and storage increased to @250 fore and @100 aft loading speed decreased to @ 3 sec
5) All currently playable subs and subsystems are now invincible to anything other than land collisions
6) All currently playable subs have increased diving and surfacing speeds
7) All sub guns fire at an increased rate of fire, and have increased ranges

update 4/24/2010, fixed subsystems taking damage, uboat still vulnerable to land collisions but I hung out with 8 destroyers shelling and ramming me for 8 hours, everything was still 100%, even hull. rammed bottom 3 times @50 kts to kill hull...


update: 4/28/2010
added camera tweaks:
increased magnification to 10x on UZO, binoculars, to 5x and 10x zoom levels with obs. and attack scopes, small tweak on free cam clip radius (changed from 1.4 to 0.4).

Most worthless mod, ever.

This forum AFAIK is not for arcade gamers.

No, this forum is for all types of players. If you'd be bothered to look over at the SH3 and SH4 mod forums, you'd see all kinds of mods, realism oriented and fun oriented like this one.

Just because someone doesn't want to play the game the way YOU want them to, doesn't mean they're not welcome here. So shove off with that attitude.

Not everyone whats to take the time and energy to play this game as realistically as possible. For the casual gamer like me this mod makes the game far more enjoyable. For those who crave realism don't use it, but don't condemn those who do. I don't think that I have ever seen casual gamers attacking the hard core realists. To each his own as long as everyone is enjoying the game what's the harm. I for one am greatful for SnapTrap's legacy.

He was a member of this forum who wrote the original "Silent Fire" unrealism mod. He was in a car crash and died from his injuries. (Warning, that's a pretty heart-wrenching thread).

Thanks lorka42 it's been fun testing it.

SubV get over it

[lorka42]

You're welcome, kodiak, and thanks for testing, I'm still looking for a way to make the subsystems invulnerable, at least the engines and batteries, anyway....

My brother did that with the original SF mod. At least from what I've seen him do while play testing the mod it certainly looked that way. I'm currently refreshing my mind with working on the original and maybe I can give you a hand when I'm done.

I hope you plan to add all the other things he put in his mod? Of course I've never really played SH5 much to know whether or not things such as upgrades apply.

Not a mod I will use myself, but one that I could see making the game lots of fun for a typical gamer with interest in something a little different. sounds like a fun way to waste some time killing pixels and keep the tempo up a bit. To the point, good job, and not all of us folks that want the game so real that we can smell the rust will give ya a hard time for making space invaders on a boat. would also make for a good template for more modern subs with faster fire rates and better endurance.
two thumbs up man.
