[REQ]Realistic Depth Charges

The depth they explode at can be changed by patching files.
Problem then is you'd need to re-patch the files as time went on.
So a pre-Game launcher would be needed like SH3 Commander does for SH3.

What about AI modding. Rather than changing the weapons to be accurate we could attain the accuracy by setting a maximum depth the AI could use in whatever timeframe. Now the issue I see with this is that I have no idea what is moddable with the AI. I am just saying that it might be another avenue to take.

If, for example, we were able to set the ability of a DD to set the depth down to 91m for early war, and have that change as time passed, it could have a similar effect. Just a thought. As stated before, I have no idea if this is possible.

can't do this with the AI. There's no functions made available to us for anything like this.

Alright. Just a suggestion. I know more about modding Bethesda games than UBI. I know a little about editing the files in SH4, but not much. I just got SH5 on the Steam holiday sale.

It is a shame. Knowing UBIs record we will probably never see any official work to help fix this issue.

I was thinking on the issue lately - do we really need to mod this thing in? If you know that that DC won't get you below 91 m - you will dive down to it and forget about the DDs above you. Feels like cheating. So, maybe it is alright as it is?
