It is same as described by others, just seems random and comes after hitting a merchant with torps.

I surface, finish with deck gun. One time at 500m torp shot I took a phantom hit while surfaced and it made most of my subsystems orange but hull stayed 100%.

I do not hear any damage, just things all break all the sudden and people screaming. Will test more tonite.

Happened again. For some weird reasons, my game is trapped in some foggy weather loop, so I play only in fog. So I hunt only unescorted ships/convoys.

Last night tracked down a lonely small merchant, sunk her with 1 hit. Few hours latr, got another.. this time a Hig Islander. Sent 1 torpedo that managed to break her engine so the ship stopped. Sent another shot, but she survived the shot. So I parked my boat on the limit of the visibility range, around 600m, and waited.

After about 30 minutes the ship finally start to sink slowly and I get the confirmation for the sinking when I hear a big booom coming from the ship and sudden my boat gets a total burst of damage. Hull down with 8%, every other equipment with 5-6%. All officers gets injuries, but only the radioman, sonar and WO stays in bad condition, others heal after a couple of seconds.

I was at surface, so Im 100% sure that this was not from a plane attack or anything else. I also did a full sonar sweep.. nothing in range. The only thing in common with the previous incident was that my victim was in abandoned state, completely halt and the explosion happened after about 30 minutes she stopped. Maybe this help to figure out why is this happening.

Very similar situation as magnum, I waited 6 hours for a completely stopped merchant to sink, ended up surfacing and put one shot of deck gun into it, and as its sinking and im backing away, massive damage.

I know SH5 has some very strange quirks just from making some of the new effects for SH5. Maybe the secondary explosions are 'losing' their parent when the vessel is destroyed and thus falls back in the 'chain' to the object that caused the vessel to be destroyed (which could place it back at the player's sub and thus these reports of damage). Long shot, yes, but possible. What I will try is adding another controller that stops the effect from happening if the object is underwater (depth < 0m). It will need to be tested to see if it stops the damage from happening.

v0.0.14 released. See post #1 for details

Curious to know if the problem of damage from secondary explosions is still happening or not

[marleymen]

Good to depart base with full stuff. Thanks

No, my funnel smoke mod is not included in TDWs FX Mod.

@TDW

If you need a fix for the old "lighthouse flare shining through objects" fix, just let me know via pm!

Engaged Tanker purely with deckgun, it started sinking around 1500m away from me. As log shows, I took damage 1 minute after sinking it. It's pitch black and heard no damage, this time it seemed to be no damage to crew, no damage to subsystems, but maybe 2-4% hull damage. Crew diddnt get upset either.

ok, I'm on the right track then

Yesterday happened to me that damage in the u-boat after I sank a ship.

I sank a Cimmaron Class Tanker. After 1 min. i heard all my crew go crazy. I took much damage. One Engine lost (0%). Severe flood. Injuried crew.

I was asking myself what caused that. I was at 1400 of the ship, aprox.

Is that collateral effect normal TDW?

Thanks for your work and sorry for my bad english again

PS. Actually using v. 0.0.14

Have not added in collateral damage yet. Did you get bombed or torpedoed by an airplane

Has v0.0.14 solved the mysterious damage to sub problem from the secondary explosions? If some are still experiencing damage, would you be willing to run a test version so I can see if it is infact the mod causing damage to your sub? This test version will cause columns of water to rise everytime the ship you have targeted takes damage from fire or from secondary explosions. Then if you take mysterious damage you can quickly external cam out to see if you see columns of water rising around your sub or not.

I have a test mision with four ship lined up. one of those is a Cimerron
and when it gets one of those 2nd explosions, I take damage.

As this is a test mission only, there are no aeroplanes.
