Default GWX Enhanced Damage Effects

I am using GWX 2.0 and enabled the GWX Enhanced Damge Effects Mod that came with GWX 2.0.

I want to keep damage to enemy ships as realistic as possible. I do not want to make it easier to sink enemy ships. The GWX manual does not mention this mod.

Does enabling enhanced damage effects just make nicer graphics or does it change the damage model on enemy ships making them easier to sink?

Hi,

I just sank a small ship at night. The fire effects and explosions are absolutely greats

Sorry for the late reply mate!
The GWX Enhanced Dame Effects mod (or GWX FX effects mod) don´t mess in any way with the GWX damage system. It´s absoluetly compatible and ready for GWX 2.0.

That's why it is so cool too! Better special effects, that do not break the damage model itself.

The only reason that this mod is an included 'optional mod' with GWX is because it can cause FPS hits in lower-end PC's. If you have a sturdy or newer rig... try it out! Just double click the JSGME icon installed on your desktop by GWX 2.0 and there it is. Just enable it!

Good stuff.

Oh yes, remember that SH2 mod that caused the smoke to mushroom out miles above the ship.

I must have a go at SH2 again one day.

There were quite a few things in SHII that I miss in SHIII. For example, in high seas if you were on the bridge, that REALLY made me seasick. Nothing like the small dizzyness I got from the GWX's physics, but I really had to go below the decks. :p

Might aswell give it a try, right about NOW!
