GWX Ship Critical Spots and a few other questions

X_SKI_X · 12-18-06, 02:18 PM

Is there anything out there like the former Fullvulnerability mod to show the Engine room/ammo bunker/fuel tank locations on the ships for GWX? Also, if you aimed to hit the fuel tank/engine room and hit it, would it always be a 1-torp kill (or at least disable)? Basically I always want to kill a ship in a most efficient way, and the new damage model doesn't quite spell out for you if the best way is Engine/fuel/under keel shot, etc. What would you consider to be an optimal depth for a torp if its a 90 deg angle and impact pistols? (30% of the draft depth from the waterline?) Also, once a destroyer starts pinging you, is there anything you can do about it, really? Help is much appreciated, thanks.

P.S. Great mod though, besides uncertainty of where to aim, the only problem was a major lagdown when 2 large concoys and a task force intersected at the SAME TIME between ireland and england, right on top of me.

Thanks. The other thread just brings up some more questions. If a ship doesn't change course/speed/weather is perfect and the optimal shot is fired, the torp will go the periscope crosshair, NOT the "anywhere on the ship", right? So if I'm aiming under the smoke stack, it should go there, as opposed to "aim for the middle" automatically no matter where on the ship i point? That would be a pretty big issue. I basically just want to know where to aim for most damage, not "auto targeting compartments" for the ships. Its pretty obvious that in real life this knowledge was present, I just don't wanna spend hours on trial and error figuring out each ship's intricasies by saving and loading at each ship encounter...

These seem to be all Stock ships, but maybe helpful
