already done.. FXUpdate..
but there is one small issue, you can see water splash close to victim only.. I think not more than 1.5-2 km.. you can ask TDW in what range you can see it..

Exactly, I was going to say the same

Yet, there's probably space for some improvement. Threads were the topic had been previously discussed (with footage and pictures):

Long ago I had done splash textures which imo were looking far better than the ones by sergei. Should look for them on one of my external HD's.

Nonetheless, better textures are only a tiny part of how torpedo splash appearance. This aspect needs to be addressed through its respective particle generator

Well, using FX of course, this effect looks unfortunately ridiculous on my rig.
Even close!
In real, i'm sure we should see huge water spray (as on some historical photos/videos)...

But maybe it's again Nvidia related?

Do you think i can enable Torpedo Splash mod with my list?
It says "Tested with SH5 ver 1.1.5"...

I have an ATI gfx card, and though not being exactly "ridiculous", the FX update torpedo splash effect don't get even close to the one seen from original photos and videos

You can try that mod. It only changes few dds files and should be compatible with any SH5 version.

Don't expect too much anyway

Thanks, so i'll give it a try soon.

I've opened those dds files with my photoshop, and i noticed the too much greyish color...maybe i can whiter them a bit?

dds files called vertical splash are not that vertical...as large as vertical

Maybe we could make them less wide and more high?

Agreed.
At the very least longer hang-time of water-spray, smoke etc. is needed
