Engine Damage

[Wolfling04]

A little while ago I got into a thread about U.S. subs having four engines in the game and only two being usuable. I know historically U.S. subs had four engines. I just wondering whether anybody has made a mod that enables the other two or there is a mod in work

Thank You

Very anoying because, even when you adjust diferential hitpoints for both, they normally be destroyed together, then you become with no propulsion at all.

Same happen with another items, as rudders...

I know....it really stinks i tried fixing it myself but didnt get close. When I play I try to stink to the parts when I can go deep, but I came across a task force in only 100ft of water and couldnt get away. Well i got depth charged and the only thing to get destroyed was both my engines. So i was just wondering if anybody had gotten close to fixing this prob.

btw- i was only 180 miles from home port....

A workaround (and cheat, but what the hey) is to increase the armor and hit points of the engines in zones.cfg.

I had done it... i made it diferentially, diferent settings for port or straboard... into zones.cfg and into Equipment.upc files... this reduce the chance, but any way a good hit, will destroy both.

There are two ways, make them undestructibles, or edit a saved file to recover them after they was destroyed.

Yes, I edited the values in all the .upc files, too, but what really made the difference was the values in zones.cfg (and I suspect upping the armor in the engine room zone in the sub's .zon file will also help).

Editing a saved file after the engine was toast had no effect whatsoever.
