[REL] Alternate Sinking Mechanism

Thanks for the info

version 2 is up, detail in first post. Unless someone sees any major problems, this is final.

Thank you, Bilge Rat!
I'll test this one))

Many thanks, a very nice mod!

I like the sinking behaviour, I've also noticed tha ships were visibly rocked by impacting torpedoes (I do not think this was the case with vanilla SH5 or other mods). Sinking looks good, ships do not tend to sink at 90 deg angle as much, the angles at which they go down look much more plausible.

The improvements that would make this mode better would be disabling underwater explosions that look completely unreal and happen almost always onece ship goes underwater.

And heavier listing would be great too, HMS Bahram like capsizing is still impossible.

But very nice mod, many thank for sharing it!

Thanks, glad you like it. I tried to get ships to capsize, but still have not found the variable or if it is even possible. It is easy enough to do in SH4, but sinking seems to work differently in SH5.

I have had a BB capsize with me and posted pics - but can't find them

I do have these from SH5:-








EDIT: This is an imported SH4 ship. Could this be the same issue as was there with the mag torps - as in they worked for SH4 ships but not SH5

What about the massive explosion which happens almost always when stricken ship is about to disappear underwater? Is that solvable? It's like ships hit points are depleted when it starts drowning and instead of drowning it decides to blow up.
