Question about the torp files please.

MONOLITH · 10-08-07, 11:12 AM

The only file in the Torp 1.5x mod is the Torpedo_US.zon. So I assume that is the one that stengthens the torpedo charge.

In the NSM mods, there is also a Torpedo_US.sim. Can someone please tell me what adjustment/effect is being done the with .sim file please?

Thanks.

The explosion impulse is changed in NSM. That's the way the target ship moves in the water when hit.

Ahhh... Thank you Tater.

So the .zon is the torpedo explosive power, and the .sim is the ships reaction to the explosion.

Correct?

The sim also has the pistols settings, speed, angles, errors, etc.

so if i wanted stock 1.3 but wanted to eliminate needing 2 and sometimes 3 torps to sink a DD would it be a better choice to take the torp.sim from NSM instead of using the torp.zon from the Torp 1.5x mod?

i dont want to sink the yamamato with 1 torp but i do think a DD should always sink with just 1 torp so what would be the best choice?

The DD problem in stock SH4 1.3 has to do with the damage models, not the torpedo strength.

If you want to fix it, you need to use NSM. Without NSM, you'd have to increase the torps a lot more than 1.5X to sink them on the bow.
