Take note of the tilt

[HunterICX]

I've seen the movie before
but it stays a funny classic :rotfl:
especially that jump is priceless!
and the music suits the movie very well

Funny and has nothing to do with realism Maybe that's why it's still interesting:hmm:

[XLjedi]

That was funny...

So what control surface would allow the sub to barrel roll in the water like that? ...I mean that we would have any control of?

...and is the tilt in the proper direction? I would think that a strike below the waterline would be below the CG and (if anything) would cause the ship to tilt into the impact?

Maybe I'm being nit-picky here but:

Ships don't "tilt" .......

They "List" or they "Roll" (unless it's the bow or stern is going up and down, then it's "Pitch").

[XLjedi]

An excellent point!

I'm just going to assume there was a pinball machine on board...

[andylegate]

Actually, the reason the ship rolled so far to starboard was PO3 Bubba ran from port to starboard when the torp hit. His 450 lbs did it.

Even my girls liked that version of SH3.

Seriously though, the roll, is it in the wrong direction?

Assuming waterline represents CG... I wonder, is that a fact, or am I just conjuring math notions...

Matey, I woulden't have a bloody clue about the physics of a torpedo hitting a ship, I'm an Infantry Soldier in the Australian Army by trade so my knowledge is ........ "crap" in this area . I was hoping I could supply the footage and someone with naval/modding knowledge in this area, would able say "yep I see what your getting at, with the tilt, list, role etc.

I'm still holding my breath

On the side impact, I dunno either...

I guess I should just assume the physics model they have in place is correct.

I've always liked how underkeel detonations kinda pull the boat down before it bobs back up. Smaller ships do rock a bit on impact, don't they?

What exactly are you suggesting then? (if anything) ...maybe adding a little roll (or more roll) to impacts on the larger ships?

[Blacklight]

I'd say.. look at the immense speed the Uboat is travelling and the torpedos that zips out is going a crapload faster than it. I have a feeling that it has something to do with the torpedo hitting the boat at a few hundred mph ! I think it's the game's physics system trying to deal with that.

So what control surface would allow the sub to barrel roll in the water like that? ...I mean that we would have any control of?

I have no clue. I've been trying to barrel roll my Uboat ever since I saw this video a long time back with no success. I suspect that the video was either edited at that part to make it look like it's spinning, or he did an out of control crash dive somehow that spiriled his sub into the depths.
