[REL] Critical hits for torpedos

[reaper7]

ANy chance of a less damaging version of both the torp and cannon, just sank 23 ships in a convoy before running out of ammo.





Like the sinking effect now, although most merchants seem to sink after 1 torp.

Thanks a lot.

Works great for me

Also thinking of trying out your deck gun mod.

Most small cargoships will sink with one torpedo. This is even more the case if the ship is transporting explosive ammo (burning does alot of damage on these and because of my mod). Sometimes it can take up to 3-4 torps to sink a small cargo ship but this is very rare.

Did you get the new critical deck gun version? i just lowered the damage by 25% (version 1.2)

Appreciate this mod but i think it is a little too powerful, i sank an Aircraft carrier with 1 and a troop ship with 1 , almost all ships i have hit have sank with 1.

I reckon a 20 -25% reduction would be better.

Ok, was using the first verion of the deck gun. Thanks will down load newer version.
I realy love the way flooding works now though, just tought thet damage dealt by the torp was a tad to much. But then again Merchants aren't designed for combat.

The problem is that if i lower the torpedo damage, chances are that it will break the flooding/burning which works great now...pretty ironicaly

How does this mod effect the multipliers built in to the game using torpedoman upgrade? I have upgraded , could this cause the uber torpedo?

yes but the effect isnt that big, only 5% per level.

so thats +25% damage at max skill.

stock torpeods do 120-160 damage
my torpedos do 100-400 damage. if you take the middle from it than its 250 damage average per torpedo. i wouldnt call it to strong because in stock you rarely sink a ship with just one torpedo, bigger cargoships even need 3-4 torpedos because the flooding/burning doesnt work.

Even with my mod, i sometimes need up to 5 torpedos to sink the big ships like battlecruisers or aircraft carriers

Stock with maxed 'preheat' ability, I don't ever need more than two torpedos to sink cargo ships, no matter how large. Three sunk the QE battleship...
