i just hit a brick wall. how are you ment to fire the torpedos? sh3 works on torpedo tubes, not outside torpedos, so if you fire them, thy will still be there. how annoying!

i guess one could render them invisible when fired?
maybe the 'torpedoes' could be part of the boat, then when 'fired' they can be changed to 'nothing' by being tied to a damage state, much like how certain parts of the boats change when damaged, like the guns.

well, how about career starts?
I have an idea for that

get someone who knows a thing or two about home ports to make a couple home ports in a specified drop off point, make like 10 or 15 of these ports, that would shift in a reasonable amount of time (like, when flotillas change ports)
then, use SH3 Commander to select that port and have only the seehund be selectable.

for missions, the seehund captain can do what he's assigned to do, then when he's completed what he can do, he can simply set course for a safe point and exit the mission when he reaches it, implying he radioed and was picked up by a U-boat

The fireing of the torps and makeing them disappear is kind of easy.
You need to re-work the torpedo door animations.
This was figured out awhile back.
I even told keltos how to do it for the Biber mod never finished.

OOOOOOH....sounds like a a suicide mission in the making to me.


But...I've long maintained that a kamikaze career (in the WWII era world) was possibily an ideal career choice..

1.Required minimal training...
2.Lots of glory and superb perks from idolizing countrymen(and women)
3...and you only had to go to work once.

Jankowski, I'd be happy to help test this thing out when you get it working.
