Many thanks Werner

I have to cut my current patrol short so I can get back into port for a refit of NSM 4.0.

Good job Werner

Me and NSM4 had a great start together: After enabling NSM4 I fired up the sub school torpedo training mission to get a quick look at the changes. I fired all four forward fish at the Mogami and started counting the hits: boom .... boom ... boom ... BOOOOOMMM! "We're taking damage!" etc. Not hard to guess what happened, eh?

THANKS WERNER YOU BLOODY GENIUS. PC was fixed just today aswell!

Wonderful! Now I can start playing SH4 again in earnest! Well...uh...in a couple of weeks, that is. G/f's exams are still running, the computer is still off limits!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!

Hey Werner- I noticed in the torp sim that you've changed the impulse to be a negative number.

Does this simulate the vaccuum effect? If not, what the reason for it?

Just curious.

negative impulse lifts and pushes the target on impact. positive number pulls it down. It just looks unrealistic when ships get sucked down on impact and then slowly bob up.

M. Sarsfield · 01-31-08, 01:31 PM

Does pushing the target out of the water help to break its back? Or does that parameter strictly change the visual effects?

Werner

Thank you very much for your continued work on this. It's a fantastic mod.

I love the keel shots in 4.0.

no its just eye candy, you can flip it back positive if you like it does not effect the damage system

M. Sarsfield · 01-31-08, 01:53 PM

I like the way that you made it. No need to change a thing.

So if I wanted to increase the damage of a torpedo (i.e. rip a HUGE hole in the side of a ship), what stats would I change?

depends. Do you want just a larger hole or actualy more flooding?

Congrats on the new version WS, will be trying it out soon

Both, actually

I see the "boxes" in the ship- I assume these are flood containers. If I rip a hole big enough, shouldn't 2 fill up instead of just one?

Thanks for even responding, dude. I'm just incredibly curious as to how this all works.
It's my nature to try to know everything about something I'm doing- much to the dismay of my wife

I'm very curious about this as well, but it's hard to tell which torpedo is which in the ZON file.
