That sounds cool... Well, I used the test level that comes with the mod, and they were two battleships, so hitting the first one wouldnt mean they would shot one as another battleship was nearby?

By the way, this site is awesome!

more like - hitting one doesn't mean it's gonna sink, lol

And welcome to the community

You said that right, before, I could sink one with one torp! Takes several to sink now! What I couldnt understand was the merchants would take more than the warships :/. Does this mod help with this issue?

Already feel part of it now lol.

somewhat. You can read the first post for more detailed information.

The flooding/sinking engine in sh5 is... not the best.
And some of the most talanted modders on this forum still breaking their heads to figure how to make it better.

Ok, will have a look .

Not had one sink yet, just have to keep hitting it until it "blows up". lol

here is how, most likely, you can test it:

take a merchant/battleship... blow it's engine or screw off so it can't move... 1 torp to the side... wait for a very while (TC16 ftw!) and whatch.. If it repairs itself - hit it again. Or it will sink and before that will, most likely, fire off the flare.

Hit a battleship in an ammo magazine and one torp should sink it. Ya gotta find the sweet spot. There should be one under the 2 forward turrets, or there abouts.

I just ran across a task force with a Royal Sovereign battleship in it and it took me 4 torpedos to sink it. Tho I have sunk Queen Elizabeth battleships with only 1 torpedo... in Scapa Flow at anchor and at sea moving.

Oh, I believe you.
What the biggest complain of the comunity in regards to the sinking model is that the ships do not capsize on their side.
The general sinking goes 3 ways in sh5:
1) the hull blows up, splitting into 2 pieces, which think like titanic movie...
2) flat sinking - no matter where the damage is, the ship seems to gain water throughout the entire hull proportionally, resulting in balanced emerging into water
3) tip on the bow or stern and sinking...

So, the main problem is that the engine does not behave like in real life.

Yeah, I see what you mean! You think a modder could fix it??
