[REQ] Modify Code for more realism. More Realism

RSRD scripts most historical traffic, you see plenty of air raids, you can watch planes attack in mass against surface fleets, watch TF battle it out, etc...Probably 90% of historical plane and ship traffic is in the game.

Of all your complaints, things that are not in the game, cities that crumble, why, subs don't attack cities. This is a submarine sim, no one really cares about watching cities crumble, that's more of a plane sim.

You can't beach your sub. Realistically if a sub hit a reef or land at speed, it would damage. Why do you need to beach your sub, it's just not a needed feature?

You can sit on the bottom at zero speed, but it doesn't hide you from sonar, nor would it realistically. Many DD's picked up sunken vessels on the body with sonar why searching for subs.

In stock DD's use to make mistakes and blow themselves up all the time with shallow charges, so it was corrected....Still can happen, but it's very rare as it should be.

With any game, the AI is limited, it's not gonna do all the functions humans would do.

This is an old game. Sure they could create the uber realistic game, but it would require the best rigs limiting sells. I imagine in 20 years we'll be playing games as such.

Again, they're many mods, but most are based on aspects of sub warfare, not other parts of war.

yes your sub has a glass hull when it comes to contact with other objects but if done carefully its very easy to put your sub on the bottom without any damage.

have your engines come to a complete stop about 5-10 meters off of the bottom and when you have slowed down to at least a speed of 1 (dead stop is best) then lower your depth 5 meters at a time waiting for it to stop before going deeper then your sub will settle slowly doing no damage when you contact the bottom. when you touch bottom lower the depth about 15 meters lower then your depth so the sub stays steady and doesnt move around causing damage

when you are ready to move again just raise up your depth but you cant use the engines untill you clear the bottom or you will get engine, hull, and rudder, damage just as you should in real life

its not like the movies where you just sink till you hit the bottom or you would bend the rudders, props, and shafts doing it and in doing so you are effectively destroying your own sub
