[REL] Cerberus62 Historical Ship Equipment 1.0

[Oby]

Hi Cerberus62,

Thank you for your great mod.

Is there some chance to add crew to guns on ships or that 's not possible yet?

I read that ASDIC was invented on the end of WWI. But I'm curious if allied ASW wessels were generally really equiped with that device on the beggining of WWII as in SH5?

I'm sorry, but adding gun crews is far beyond my abilities. And to the best of my remembrance it's almost impossible yet. Perhaps apart from real adepts. Like TheDarkWraith. If he isn't just walking on water, he'll fix it within 20 minutes. If he's asleep. Otherwise within 10 minutes. Just kiddin'...

AFAIK all british warships with anti-submarine duties contained in SH5 were equipped with ASDIC at the beginning of WWII. Though of different kind and effectiveness. SH5 roughly simulates the improving of active and passive sonar systems through the years by different entries in the sensor definition files (e. g. \data\Sea\NDD_Keith\NDD_Keith.sns). Which ship uses type 123-A, 128-C etc. within which period may be discussed in the historical board. I didn't make any changes to these files so to avoid any interference with IRAI and other sensor tweaking mods.

I'm all for realism. If you can edit each ship's .sns file to reflect the correct sensors that would be great This won't interfere with IRAI. It doesn't change any of the ship's .sns files.

Well, would take some time for investigations to find out which equipment has been installed in the different destroyer types, but that's not the challenge.

What's the difference in performance between e. g. an ASDIC type 123 and 128? Range, detection angle, susceptibility to speed, swell etc.? It's easy to define different types for each month and each ship in the sns file, but this wouldn't contribute to realism if we can only guess, in what way these devices differed from each other. By now, we're not even shure if a submerged type VII boat at 60 m depth could have been detected at 1200 m or at 600 m, regardless of device. So we may introduce nothing like an ostensive increase in realism.

Hi!

FYI the Brooklyn class did not use the dual 5"/38 caliber gun turrets. See numerous photos at http://www.history.navy.mil/photos/s...nsh-b/cl40.htm. It had eight single 5"/25 cal guns

Thank you, only one ship of this class (CL-42 Savannah) had the 5"/38 cal Mk 12:

The other ships of the Brooklyn class used 5"/25 cal single mounts. The modified Brooklyn's sometimes called St.Louis class featured the 5"/38 as well (http://www.navsource.org/archives/04/050/0405006.jpg), but the ship in SH5 is of the "base" class.

I'll change it in near future by correcting the 5"/25 and adding a proxy model for USS Savannah.

Thank you a LOT Cerberus62

No it's not.
All the animations exist in SH5 now.
There's only a few missing 'things'.
Those should be easily corrected if one were to look at them.

See first posting for new download link to latest version (v1.4 from 08 Dec 2010).

Since it contains only minor changes I didn't upload v1.4 before.

Hi Cerberus62,

Is this mod still used, just wondering because I updated most of my mods and this one is still in it. It gets overwritten by a lot of mods.
