Faster Dive achieved

Melonfish · 10-29-07, 04:27 AM

am i the only one that likes the longer dive times?
well i mean don't get me wrong i love the fact that my baby U-53 goes down like a lead balloon but in my newly commissioned Gato i am finding i'm there going "down, down ya slow bugger get down!" as the planes are edging closer and closer.....

adds to the immersion. i mean in sh3 it'd be like "plane spotted" crash dive, gone.
now its Radar contact, which gets you in spotting range, crash dive!
....

....

plane is visible, lining up

....

....

and we're down. the plane makes its run and misses by 40 feet. thats just fun!

Until that rare time that it doesn't miss:rotfl:

Just thought about this, if you change the displacement, you may wind up changing the turning radius, acceleration/decceleration and other operations that are affected by mass. Would also make it harder or easier (deopending on which way you go) to drive to the surface with flooding.

Leave the surface displacment alone and only make small change's at a time to test the effect using the torpedo stop watch and make sure each time it is the same crew in the Command room with the same effciancy ratings and so forth because it does matter in the testing.

I personaly like the way it work's now and do not feel the need for change just offering idea's for the people who want it differn;t for thier own game's.
