[REQ] Ships on Horizon and realistic Sinking

senjorlossi · 03-07-10, 08:44 PM

Hi Guys,

here are two things that I would love to see corrected:

1. Distant ships don´t really come up behind the horizon (as they should), but actually "rise up" within the horizon. No big deal for gameplay, but looks a bit odd (linke SH 1). Maybe the horizon could be lowered somehow, so that distant ships appear correct with their mast over, not under, the horizon? Hope you get what I mean...

I think in SH 3 Ships apperared very nicely with their masts first on the horizon.

2. More important (and most probably easyer to do):

Realistic damage and sinking behaviour of the ships. It seems that, for now, every freighter needs at least 2 fishes, then explodes and sinks on more or less even keel. I think it would be very important to have a more realistic sinking beahvior back as it was already available in SH 3. Also, I would love to see ships actually capsizing. I have never seen that with SH 3 (don´t know if the damage model allows ships to capsize at all).

Would be great if some of the talented modders would look at these aspects.

BTW: A 3-times "horray" to all the modders out there. You have already changed SH 5 into an enjoyable game for me!

Regards,
Stefan.
