SH5 questions

Coenraad · 03-17-13, 01:49 PM

Hey all,
I just purchased SH5 yesterday and i was starting to wonder about sinking ships.
I come from SH3 (i didn't like SH4 much) and the first thing that i noticed is that the ships seem to have firebreathing dragons inside them. Big jets of flames spew out when i hit it with gunfire. Also they all first go fully ablaze before sinking just horizontaly. I sunk 19 ships now and not even a single one capsized or even broke in two.

So have i just been unlucky or does the sinking in SH5 work so much different?

If this is normal, could anyone point me to some mods(if there are any) that allow breakup and sink ships without first setting them on fire like some weird fuel soaked ship?

Yours,
Coenraad

stock SH5 damage/sinking model is one of the worst models I've seen around. Without mods, SH5 is really a very very bad game, unfortunately.

With the Critical Hits mod they do break in two.

But... you have to aim and hit the critical sweet spot.

Thank you for your replies. Do you perhaps have a link to those downloads?
I tried to search for them but i could not find them?
