[REQ] Natural Sinking/Ship Death

killpo1 · 03-02-10, 10:57 PM

Currently, i am sitting in front of 2 liberty ships that are both 75% on fire 50% submerged and refusing to sink, and not getting the credit for the kills. Now im sure even rescue did eventually come a couple days later that ship would just be a burnt carcass, usually this wouldn't be a problem but being low on torpedo and bingo on deck gun ammo i rather not have to put one more torpedo in them to actually get the credit. All i am really asking for is a redone ship kill system or where a ship will actually sink if you fill a majority of its compartments ( 2 torpedo's in the front and back compartment same side and quite a few AP deck gun rounds below the water line)

I think it'd be good with a "dead in the water" label working as a kill as well, just having the crew saying "She's dead in the water" and that's it.

@KillPo1

Sorry, no sink=no credit. U-boat Comander's would often run out of torpedos and deckgun ammo. Frustrating for you I know, but it is realistic. There has been a substantial reworking of the damage model for SH5 and calling for a Mod because you ran out of ammo is a little unsporting

Now, scrub the deck Swabbie!

In those cases in real life they were credited with "Damaged" tonnage as well.

I have often wished we would be credited for the ones we just can't put down as well, not with a kill but with the game recognizing damaged ones.

Shall we start giving out medals to everyone who took part at the Olympics too, we don't want them to feel left out?!

Did the Sub-Aces get to the top of the Leaderboard for the amount of damage they did or the amount of tonnage sunk in total? There are no prizes for second place!

Both if you look at the link I posted. Their "damaged" tonnage was part of their record. So it is realistic, ok?
