Smoke,Fire,and Things that roll over in the Night.....

Yes. It was a rollover/capsizing mod. Don't remember who put it up in SH4. In SH5, I have had a few lean but never roll. Just would like to have that bit of realism. Every ship burning and sinking on an even keel just is not right.

Where can I find the SH4 mod you are talking about?

Thank you Raven

seems a cool mod. I'll have a look at it

spydar1959 · 01-29-13, 10:02 PM

That might be the one. I had to get a new computer over the summer and lost alot of information. The one copy of that mod I have left was on a book drive with all my music. Had a folder with all my SH4 mods in it. The mod didn't have a read me file or name with it. So I will give this one a shot and see what happens. Thanks again, Dave

And a slight P.S...I got to thinking about that mod and what I remembered about it. Who ever had wrote it talked about changing the center of gravity on the ships.

I am optimistic on the possibility to destabilize ships. There should be two ways:

moving ships center of gravity toward their metacentre and splitting and/or splitting zone boxes along their lenght

Why do you think so?

How do you sink ships like that, mine split on half if I am very precise and shoot directly in the middle under the keel and that is the best I can do.

I am definitely jealous

Speaking of the night the fire: I think it should be possible to implement such a sh5 - boat lighted the flame burning tanker. What do you think?

spydar1959 · 01-31-13, 12:25 AM

The night fire look would be great. But what I am looking for, I guess it would be an option, is that some boats don't burst into flames when you hit them. That way at night it would be more in a realistic manner. When you read about convoy and u-boat attacks, many times the u-boats attack the same ship. So if the ship was burning from stem to stern, they would not waste a torpedo. Unlees it was a target of oppertunity (the wolf in wolfpack). Come back later with the deck gun or maybe another torpedo and finish it off. But many of the ships torpedoed just sank and left no trace. They just disappeared from the convoy. So shooting a couple off torpedoes at night into a frieghter and not knowing right then what happens would be a nice option.
