What's the Best Ship Explosion Mod?

Mowinz · 07-24-07, 08:26 PM

Hi Kaleuns!

I am currently modding my GWX build and noticed a few mods deal with special effects. Which mod would you say has the best ship explosions?

Yesterday, I watched a documentary and the exploding ship shot smoke and debris waaaay up there. I just downloaded the GWX special effects mod and I know there are a few smoke mods out there....

Haven't sunk a ship yet with my new GWX....so....am I good to go or do I need a mod?

Should I assume tankers in GWX have the most spectacular explosions as compared to other ships?

Cheers

You know that for all this time I don't think anyone has ever done a mod of this type, only the smoke, water spray, & ship damage!

Maybe I have missed something ... Here's hoping!

Thanks Steve! Did a subsim "search" and found a few threads indicating this Mod is already included in GWX to some degree.

I have the Special Effects Mod ready to install so I will use that one and see what it looks like. I torped an armed Liner ship yesterday and although there was what appeared to be slight damage on the hull there was no explosion and I almost cried.

I was under the impression the Hollywood mod only added the flying bodies not the explosion, fire, debri etc, been awhile though, maybe I should check it out!

I thought the Hollywood damage mod wasn't GWX compattable ?

I LOVE the torpedo damage mod. That thing is a MUST have.

Sometimes ships didn't even burn, much less explode. You should have some that just...sink.

All you need is one fish and one large ammo ship and (hopefully) KABOOM! ..... That should be all the explosions you need :p
