That PT Elco boat is only 35 tons. A torpedo will blow it completely out of the water (with SH5 stock torpedo settings)

Now I know there is going to be lots of questions as to how I made this work. It's really quite simple when you follow the correct pattern of how the .dat file has to be structured and the file structure itself has to be structured. I'll try to have something put together as to how to do it soon. Problem is I fly out to Denver tomorrow morning and I don't have much time. I'm just lucky I got it sorted out and working with .dat files Never give up.....Sometimes you have to try every single possible combination (and then some more) before you figure whatever it is you're trying to figure out

related some.....he is using .gr2 files and I haven't seen anything tangible from it so I'm skeptical. That's what motivated me to pick back up on the .dat files. I knew there had to be a way to make it work. I just hadn't found the right combination to make it work until now.

Remember privateer said you have to follow something just right in order to make it work with his method. My method uses .DAT files and they are much easier to work with

Now I've sent this to two people to confirm that what I saw wasn't a fluke thing. Once I get feedback from them that it is working like I have shown pictures of then I'll let you all know that we can infact import new units into SH5

My mind works in funny ways. Sometimes I just have to push something to the side that I'm having trouble trying to figure out and let it rest for some time. Usually when I come back to it I can figure it out like I've done here. Although this one took 7 months....

Now I'll take a little break and enjoy the nice weather outside. Perfect day to bring out the R/C helicopters!

Obviously you ignored this statement.

"Learning to actually build a Ship and get it into SH5 will give one the knowledge to then do pretty much as one pleases."

You also dismiss the fact that the Type 14 solved most issues as to wakes and such LONG ago. Those are the easy things to work on.

I've also stated MANY times that the Zones need reworked for dat files to work properly in SH5.

The reflections?
I'll leave you guessing on those but it's a simple answer.
