Realism- and gameplay-related hardcode fixes for SH3.EXE

[h.sie]

i cannot help you regarding stieblers addon, but you can activate the torpedo failures mod in any order, it does not matter. update to v16a4 only was cosmetic. thus i cancelled it. look at post 2787

Changes compared to V1.0c:

• Cosmetic change: Version sticks at V16A3 (no more update to V16A4)

Oh, h.sie, this is a devilish update! With my little IIA U-Boat I managed in 1939 (4. Feindfahrt) to sink only 1 of the four spotted merchant ships (5 torpedoes, 3 dudes)!

I hate you for this realistic mod


No, no, really, thank you very much. SHIII got a whole new dimension, I prey now, that each my torpedo explode

Really thanks for this great job!

H.sie, please, can you upload on your site again the previous Torpedo Failure Fix 1.0?

This version 1.1 is uncredible hard for me. Two another patrols in 1939 with IIA boat and all torpedoes (10) are failure (perfect positions, magnetic or contact pistols, various depth) again and again too deep even in small waves...

Not surface runners, but all torpedoes runs too deep, even set up 1 or 2 m deep...

Whenever the surface is like glass, torpedoes runs too deep.
I like realistic torpedo failures, but I can´t even in small waves attack any ships. 100% torpedo failures in 2. Feindfahrten is for me unrealistic.


Please reupload previous version for me. Thanks!

Similar experience here. Is this an intended effect? Were torps really so faulty back then?

[Sepp von Ch.]

Faulty yes, but not so (check http://www.uboataces.com/articles-wo...orpedoes.shtml ). Here, I can´t use any torpedo excepted the surface is like glass. And this is not correct.

I used the Naval training mission in order to reproduce your problem but without success. All worked as intended. Time: 1939. Windspeed=2. TorpedoDepth = 1 and Impact pistol. I had about 20 - 30 % duds.

If you don't hit a ship that does not automatically mean that it was a dud

Anybody else having the same problems???

Actually, I must confess I play with the event cam on, so I actually saw the eels pass way under the target, despite setting them to something like 2 meters depth. But this is no problem with me. If things get really bad, I'll revert to the 1.0 version of the Torpedo Failure Fix.

h.sie and all other modders, thank you. Your effort makes SH3 better each day

Seems about right to what I got in testing also, Increasing to 50% in heavy winds

:-))))))))


Can you h.sie please again upload the previous version 1.0?

[h.sie]

@Joseph: 2 Problems:

1) I havn't the V1.0 anymore. Maybe some other person has?

2) Even if you can find it somewhere:The JSGME version is only a temporary solution for testing purposes that won't be compatible to future patch versions V16B, because after testing and parameter fine-adjusting period, it will directly be implemented into the next hardcode patch V16B. That means: I have to restrict on ONE single version and one single parameter set that the majority of players prefers. V1.1. has been made due to some user requests, because dud rate was too low. I enlarged it a little bit, but surely not to 100%.

If you have a dud rate of 100%, there is definitely something wrong - either on my side or on your side.

DO OTHERS ALSO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS AS JOSEPH???

wolpack attack
16 June 1941

bad sea state
magnetic pistol
1 hit
4 duds(?)
1 missed

good sea state
impact pistol
1 hit
0 duds
0 missed

Is it possible to have a message like "Torpedo is a dud"?

[h.sie]

@Robin: I'm not programming ATM.

Hi. I've tried the wolfpack fix. However I'm not sure how should I send contact reports properly ? With course and speed info ? I think I know how to report speed of the convoy, I have to input it into my TDC dial, but how should I set it's course so the report wouldn't look like a bad joke ?

BTW H.sie while I was setting up your mod, I just merged the Campaign_SCR.mis with yours and saved it like scripted layer, is this way ok too ?

I peeked at your .mis file alone and I see the wolfpack boats sitting at Hudson bay . I thought Canadians were the allies

Hi all,

I've tested h.sie's torpedo patch in campaign mode. I've shot 180 torpedoes with a magnetic pistol in 1939 and got 39 duds, i.e., roughly 22%. Taking the randomness into account, I think it works as intended.

Thanks again for the patch, h.sie

Cheers, LGN1
