Destroyers Discussion (getting rid of pin point drops)

[CB..]

Gouljg hi! whats the line in the file about the hydrophone warning might shed some light on things i didn't spot it what does it say? anything usefull or just generic

i made myself a customised damage model too (only for personal use tho)
i wanted all the variuos internals of the boat to be easily damaged and destroyed but tried to keep the hull integrity as tough as possible so i could be disabled and still survive--ie engines scopes batteries destroyed etc but still have 100% hull integrity-- much more fun that just watching your hull integrity go down--
ito be honest im no expert on the zones file so it was more luck than judegment that got the result i was after - i read the warning but didn't fully understand it i must admit fortunately i haven't had any problems with it --i did get a crash when i worked on the crew health a bit too much (if they have less than a cerain amount of health per crew the game crashes if one get ijured for some reason)

i managed to get it so i get frequent crew injurys and deaths forcing me to make use of the barracks and make more officers medics and repair guys instead of the more combat orientated torp gunners machinists etc makes life more balanced (and the choice more interesting)--great fun really if the DD's would just play ball--

in fact if i could make the hull invincable (with out it blowing the balance of the changes) i'd do that right now lol!

i'd much rather sink to the bottom with all crew dead and everything completely wrecked and fully flooded -and have to declare my self as sunk instead of the game prematurely ending the patrol for me with a lame abandon career screen--means you get the DAS BOOT scenario from time to time and keeps you hoping untill all hope is lost as it were!!

if only the DD's were as responsive the editng as the rest of the game is we'd be laughing!
