adding debris, secondary explosions, ship's horns and whistles (my live AI ships mod from SH3), missing sounds, water splashes from debris hitting the water, bodies being thrown from some of the big explosions and splashing when they hit the water and then floating on the water until they sink (morbid yes, but it really happened in real life - I did the same thing in SH3), flares being sent up by ships, oil slicks, fuel slicks.....lots of goodies

Sounds fantastic....

Is there anything that your not doing..... I think that list might be less of a list

Any plans of TDWsupermod for SH5. Think you've almost got 1, if you combine all of your current mods.

Your doing sooo much for this game.

Thanks you for your hardwork.

I rest my case..............this man is a genius!

Last night I hit a lone merchant off the coast of Ireland. Even though he was alone with nobody else to warn I couldn't shake the feeling that the ship was awfully lifeless considering they had just been hit by a torpedo and half the deck was on fire..., they were all walking around all casual like nothing happened.

I couldn't help thinking that it would be much more realistic if the collision alarm were to go off when they are hit. Not a warning to other ships but just an alarm for a the crew. A real ship would have had every bell and whistle goin' off to tell people to get up and out, would it not?

Anyways, I just thought it might be a little something extra worth looking into while you are experimenting with the alarm triggers.

You're such a tease...

Can't wait for this one!
