eels that are too accurate?

Rhurac · 03-05-13, 02:52 PM

hey again guys!
i was wondering if there was a mod/program that i could use the adjust the accuracy of acoustic eels. They seem to be way too accurate for my taste. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

p.s. I tried finding minitweaks but all links i found were dead

Those are controlled by hard code.

In the realism options selec the dud torpedoes option....this won't alter the accuracy but it will reduce the number that cause damage.

I have Duds turned on but i must be extremely lucky out my entire loadout in my type 9 d sub i might have 1 or 2 duds, just was looking for another way to make it more challenging. Guess i'll just have to live with it

Use S3D and reduce the turn radius.
It will stop the Eel from makeing as tight a turn.
Any one know if this is a Commander malfunction?
Would be a good one if not!

Reducing the radius would make a tighter turn, increasing the radius would make turning slower (looser?).

I am currently reading Clay Blair's "Hitler's U-boat War" and am constantly amazed by how often the German Electric and Air torpedos failed. Often U-Boats set up shots to have 4 of 4 torpedos go too deep, fizzle in the tube, mis-direct or just flat out miss. BDU put numerous commissions onto trying to resove these problems and were never completely successful.

In game terms if torpedos worked the way they did in real life many players would just quit playing out of frustration. Certainly there were morale problems with the real U-Boat crews.

By the way I highly recommend reading both volumes of Blair's awesome work.

Don't have the link, but do an on-line search for "Wolves Without Teeth."

It is a dissertation about the German torpedo crisis which has a lot of interesting info.
