[REL] Shoot at periscope

[mobucks]

I hate to derail this, but can your periscope really be blown off in SH5? I've been playing SH4 TMO 2.5 and the escorts constantly fire at my periscope, sometimes directly hitting it with a deckgun, and it never breaks. One time a DE slammed into the thing perfectly perpendicular and instead of breaking the tube the entire boat rolled almost 90degrees! For zero hull damage/periscope damage...
So then can your periscope take damage in SH5 like being shot and broken or rammed and bent off??

might be a TMO thing, in stock the scope is very very easy to destroy

i dont think it ever disappears or looks broken thou because i dont believe there are any damage files for it

First test with your mission. As soon as they saw my periscope started to shoot at me, but only the DD, didn´t see any merchant firing at me.
After a while doing a crash dive got CTD. I´ll try again later on and i´ll report results.

The periscopes are missing a damage box in the Uboot_sensors.zon file. While testing the periscope shooting, I added the boxes and have witnessed couple of times that my periscope is shot and destroyed completely (0 % health). Once I even saw that the actual periscope wanished when it was broken. But not sure if adding the boxes did the trick or it was working from the start.

The ships act in a bit different way everytime you try the mission, sometimes they continue shooting 8 mins, sometimes 2 mins. The merchants should attack also. When you lower the scope, merchants will cease firing, but the dd's will continue. Not sure about the crash, I guess it still needs more testing .
