The crew hooting and hollering the rest of the patrol is a pain.

That's just wrong on so many different levels.

Default CTD

Yes you are a victim of the evil Ducimus' CTD: Compulsive Tweaking Disorder. He has planes from up to nearly five miles away able to see you at periscope depth and depth charge you. Although this ignores the refractive index of water, which would render anything under the water at less than a certain angle (this would change with temperature and salt content) would be invisible, as any light rays would merely be reflected off the surface, both from above and below.

However, it adds a palpable sense of doom to the game, and with a reduced range for detection, might even be arguably realistic. I consider it Ducimus' version of the creation of Deltona, Florida. The designer woke up in the middle of the night with a nightmare, wrote it down and built it the next day.:rotfl:You don't go into Deltona without a GPS, maps, a cell phone and two days' food, and you don't play TM 1.7 if you enjoy living! It's a killer. Even GWX isn't that brutal in SH3.:rotfl:War is a dangerous game. Now you can feel it.

This particular aspect is being retuned so its not so over the top. The orginal settings i defined were less dangerous in patch 1.3 then they are now in patch 1.4. The current threat level of planes isnt intended, although they are intended to be able to see a shallow sub.

Hello all'.. I came across something strange today,...Yesterday i was playing SH4 the same way i always do, and Like I have since it first came out almost a year ago or what ever,

Ok".. so today i start up SH4 and begin to play like always and befor i know it There
is water spraying from pipes inside the command room and the conning tower.

Well by this time i'm freeking out, Don't know whats going on.. just that theres water poring in around me, I go strait to the damage screen.. (but theres no damage) And my hull number is still 0%.

The very next thing i do is to asign my dc party.."There all wide awake and on there toes", Well after 2 and a half hours game time we still have the same water leaks that we had when i started the game. Here are some pics.











What can be causeing this damage that i can't fix ?, Im only running texture mods
and patch 1.4, any help is appreciated... Thank you.

Ps. no mines cause i checked for that posibility,... Also i only save on the surfuss never underwater.

Oopps, one more pic,......."I hate getting wet!!

@flyingdane

I'm not sure what caused the original damage but the water leaks will continue even after the damage is fixed. It's a graphical glitch, not an indication of persistent damage.
