Damage from running aground

Reece · 08-02-06, 02:01 AM

Hi, could someone point me to the data file for the damage obtained by running aground please? or point me to a mod if this has been addressed please.

I was running at 1 knot when I slowly decended & hit the ground causing the loss of 2 men and nearly wiping out the boat, A little overdone I think!:rotfl:
Thanks.

Had the same thing happen to me.. except I lost it due to flooding, like you I thought it was pretty gentle in touching the sea floor :hmm:

I might be wrong but i believe the anti-hummingbird mod in NYGM lets you touch bottom at okts with no damage.
In GW on one occassion i was sinking bow first due to flooding and had my electric engines in full reverse---no damage on contact and as soon as i touched down-cut my engines and settled gently to the floor........of course due to previous sub damage and no comp air left- my gentle landing became my final resting place

A big problem I have encountered is when trying to repair on the sea floor, the water currents move the boat around sometimes, causing collision damage. I have found a way to fix it, but the side effect is that the waves don't move.

Hmmm, thanks, I might look into this "anti-hummingbird mod" and see what it consists of, maybe Teddy Bar will read this and respond!

(Hint)
Edit: After thorough examination of both NYGM Tonnage War mods 1.17 & 2.0 I find nothing concerning "Anti-Hummingbird", could you please be more specific?
Thanks.

I believe the anti hummingbird mod in NYGM makes it so that when you stop your sub at o kts while submerged it will slowly sink and due to the slight rate of descent, the sub does not get damaged when it touches bottom (although in deep water-boat will be destroyed at crush depth)---sub needs to be going at least 1 kt to maitain depth and and 3 kts to change depth. Think the reasoning for it was more realestic submerged sub simulation. I have experianced the sinking firsthand (un-wanted) while lining up a torp shot on a revenge class at okts submerged

my wording "mod" might be wrong--it could be just changed files and code inside the larger NYGM mod and not a stand alone version. im not using Nygm right now so i can not check. I have seen past threads talking about it and i think it was discussed in the NYGM thread. I am realitivly new to posting on forums and i do not know how to insert a thread link

----sorry wish i could be more help---maybe one of the gurus around here can steer you in the right direction.
