sinking ships never roll over??

simon.c · 10-08-13, 07:24 PM

Just been watching some vids of SH4 and sinkings of big ships and they look great when they roll over and capsize,how come they never did that in sh3?
and is there a way to make that possable in sh3?

probably the game engine. but I call it the titanic affliction because as far as shipwrecks are concerned the titanic is one of the only ships not to capsize while going down.

It may not happen often.

But it happens.

Yeah, it's been quite awhile, but I have seen both merchants and warships turn 'turtle' in SH3.

I recently witnessed a ship sink almost vertically:

I believe it sank like this because there was one deep torpedo hit in the bow (a meter to port side and it would have missed).

I would think the capsizing would be more possible if the hit was exactly on the middle of the ship and almost at the edge of water line?

Hell, I'm just happy when they sink!

Depends a bit on modelled top-heaviness ...
... the model of the extremely top-heavy Takao class cruisers (converted from SH4) seems to be rather well done

Usually happens for me when I hit them with 3 torps, 1 in the front 1/3, 1 in the middle 1/3, and 1 in the back 1/3. They usually roll over before going completely under then.

Same here. It doesn't happen often, but I have seen it happen.

I personally fancy this Titanic style. Or a bow shot with fast ones that makes the cut under like a sub.
