[REQ]Disable Deck Gun by bad Weather

[charognard]

Can someone tell me, or release a little mod for desable deck gun use ( crew or captain ) by bad weather like in GWX ? It d be a good improvement to the game realism.

Ps : Can someone tell me too, where i can find the external torpedo reload time value ? Thx in advance

I think scripting would be the go for not manning the deck gun in bad weather .
C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\data\Scripts\AI\Crew\man_the_deck_gun

I cannot script but it might be as simple as

strategy MAN_THE_DECK_GUN(wp)

if Wp:IsGoodWeather() then
#Wp:ExecuteCommand( "Man_the_deck_gun" );
else
if Wp:IsBadWeather() then
Wp:ScriptCompleted();

I have no idea really .

Vikinger made a mod where you can use the deck gun in all condition... maybe you can modif and you can make to react to suit you taste (there are cfg files not scripts so i think you are ok with these files):

@TDW i understood that later in the war years the subs were not carring a deck gun to improuve speed and other uboat performance

can be done something like this in sh5 - maybe if we modif some eqp file or maybe it is more complicate than that?

This mod changes the StormConditions parameter (StormConditions=15,1.0;max wind speed [m/s], max rain intensity [0,1]). But you can already man the guns in bad weather. It seems that modifying this line doesn't have any effect at all. In previous games the deck watch changed raincoats on in a storm conditions but this doesn't work in SH 5.

i looked inside... i did not tested the mod to see if it work or not... i was suposed if for example you will put wind 0 then your crew man is not using deck or flank gun - so it not affect at all the behavior of crew for dek and flank gun

Hello stoianm,

I use Magnum´s great mod Open Horizont with the campaign 1943-45 (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=178257) and when I use VIIC/41, I have in bunker a option "enable the deck gun" (standard is VIIC/41 U-Boat without the deck gun). I love this option because on 14 November 1942, the BdU ordered the removal of deck guns from type VII U-Boats to compensate the weight of the increased Flak armament (not the case for submarines in Arctic ocean).
Because I constantly move in the North Atlantic, I do not have on my VIIC/41 U-boat the deck gun asi in real life.
