[REL] Critical hits for torpedos - Page 2

Juliano · 03-19-10, 01:37 PM

Yesterday I managed to get into a convoy and fired a salvo of 4 torpedoes and 1 from the stern. 4 of 5 of them hit, none of the ships sink.
I used the external cam to see what was going on and all ships hit had fires and where flooding but none sink.
Al the torps hit the bow or stern of the ships (I think the ships go down faster that way) but ir was useless

I was so frustrated that after waiting some time in TC to see what would happen, I imediatly closed the game

Maybe I just had bad luck?

Im using this mod with the BARF + Increased flooding time mod with fantastic results, I know that sounds like overkill but it means that ships sink with 1-3 torpedos now instead of 2-3, especially if you hit something that causes secondary explosions. Critical damage is done potentially with one torpedo but it doesnt just blow up and sink right away, it floats around for a while before sinking, usually by the nose (i tend to aim to far forward, cant explain why) Not in the vanilla game where they blow up and sink flat.

I still say the mods should be combined and tweaked to work together. But even as it sits it makes the sinking in the game top class. Kudos to both modders.

Well, I think that this mod is way better than stock.

Besides, even with 'stock' torpedoes you will probably sink a carrier with just one eel, and that's because everything on its deck will explode causing really big damage. It's this games one of many bugs.

Also, with stock torpedoes, I've sunk QE battleship with only 2 eels (shot 4, two missed), torpedoes hit the bows.

In stock, often even two torpedoes didn't start the flooding effect in even small merchants, which was quite... irritating.

Great mod, Darkreaver, thanks.

I also tried my mod with realistic flooding mod and having a blast now, its like both mods work perfectly together. i love how bigger ships are halfway under water for some time before they finaly sink

The critical hit spot must work, I wanted to be sure that I sunk a carrier that I setup on (3550m) so I fired all four tubes at him after getting dialed in. Well much to my surprise when the first one made impact the entire carrier began exploding. The second two hit afterward but he was already history with the first hit. The last one went a tad in front of him as he was stopped and already sinking.

Yep, just added the BARF mod with yours after reading the comments about it and its indeed a match made in heaven.

Watching the ships slowly sink and seeing the pressured air spewing up from the ship as the waves slowly begin to wash over the deck never gets old.

Are you using the 2 mods together?

03-22-10, 08:44 PM

Yes i am.

Sank a battleship with 1 or 2 torpedos. G7A from 1000 yards, is this unrealistic? I say "one or two" because i was so deep by the time they hit i didnt hear the explosions. slow speed can be useful sometimes.

edit: log says it was 2

A reality check for you. In SH4 I checked every single RL u-boat attack on Hog Islander types:

50% of the Hog Islanders sank after 1 hit. 73% after 2 hits (I counted coup de grâce here in the 2 fish hits, including the couple that were finished off with 30 and 60 DG rounds respectively treated as a single added torp (the only alternative to the DG)). 83% of them hit with 3 sank (one not sinking out of 6 attacked).

So there is a way to check your mod (roughly).

Only 18.18% of Liberty ships attacked by U-boats sank with 1 torpedo hit.

Just got a nice one shot kill on a Cimmaron Tanker in the English Channel. She split in two directly center-beam and both halves went to the bottom in flames. Nice work man.

Your links are broken. Are your mods hosted somewhere else?

pythos · 03-24-10, 09:30 PM

You do realize it was ONE torpedo that took out the shokoku. It was because their fire and flood control was so horrible. But I think it was one or two torpedos out of 6 that were fired.

Torpedoes kill ships if they hit. The reason so many were fired was because they missed a lot. Either due to lousy aiming, or do to mechanical problems with the eel itself.

Go to you tube and watch vids of torpedoes hitting. They are devastating. A ship with a broken back was usually finished. A tanker hit just right, KABLAMO!!! A destroyer....vaporized. I don't understand how people can think torpedoes don't do all that much damage. depth charges compared to a torpedo are a joke.

I like the randomness of this mod.

I am sick of a burning tanker maintaining speed after getting hit by 3 stock torpedoes. I am hoping this will remove this issue.

Fixxxer46 · 03-24-10, 11:57 PM

I downloaded this mod + the "Better and Realistic Flooding" because i thought it was more realistic. (from YouTube videos)

I can usually sink ships now with 1-2 torpedoes that took 3 or more!

That's what should really happen, if you hit the ship is dead; and i love it!

Great mod!

Darkreaver1980 · 03-28-10, 06:44 AM

How is the damage now? To strong, to weak? Seems like i got it right

7thSeal · 03-28-10, 08:38 AM

In addition with the BRF mod I'd say you got it right. Sometimes I find myself tailing them after putting one or two hits in them and sometimes they eventually sink and others it takes another shot or just finishing with the deck gun. It changes up with each size of the ships which makes it great.
