Realistic Damage for stock SH3

WWII44 · 08-31-11, 09:58 AM

Hi, I'm currently running the stock version of SH3 and I was wondering if the was a mod for it that made the ship damage more realistic, such as showing a gaping hole in the side of a merchant ship after a torpedo hit instead of a darkened area where the torpedo hit. Any help with this will be much appreciated.

This is the one you want.

Also affects shell holes.

Actually I lied. Those last two aren't from shells. They're from the torpedo fragments ripping up through the opposite side of the ship. Probably from this mod:

Also, you really need one of the supermods and SH3 Commander. The game has gone so far beyond stock you have no idea what you're missing.

thank ye kind sir, I have been meaning to get GWX3 but would that mean I'd have to remove my current mods and then reinstall them after installing GWX3? I don't use the generic Mod enabler as I couldn't seem to figure out how to use it with the steam version of silent hunter 3.

The SH4 Effects For SH3 mod is tailored for GWX, but the Torpedo Damage Final mod works with stock. On the other hand any supermod is better by far than the stock game, which basically stinks to high heaven.

I don't know about Steam partly because I like having the box on my shelf and partly because Steam refused to sell to me. But that's my problem, not yours.

To compliment Steve's photos above, here are the TGA's...you'll see the bullet damage is identical but the explosion holes differ between both versions:

Version 1

Version 2
