Torpedo movie

The torpedo.zon file goes into the /data/library folder.

Take a look at the movie (divx, mp3). If you hit a boat anywhere near center, it's over. If for some reason you just want to cripple it, you'll have to hit the absolute extreme bow -- stern shots don't work. I believe the new numbers are 20 meters blast radius, 1000 power (static); up from 7 meters and 200 (variable). Hasn't been extensively tested or anything, so if you nail a battleship in the ammo dump or something, the game may crash out from all the explosions.

I'll see about the deck guns later this week.

Hey Tycho, it's always courteous to mention the names of those that provided you the tools to make your mods in the first place.

Hexworkshop v4.2 (yeah, it's old, but it still works)

I like it! Anything with a smaller blast radius?

Here's the deckgun:
Silent Hunter 4 deckgun cheat
Silent Hunter 4 deckgun cheat movie -- 3000 meter range

Inside that zip archive, there are four different deckgun versions. All are the 4/50" cannon "HE" shells -- AP shells were left stock.
-The "20m" has an explosive radius of 20 meters, and a power of 1000. Same as the torpedo cheat, meant for a single boat.
-The "1000, 2000, 3000m" cheats have the respective ranges of each with a power of 5 million. Intended to take out convoys or entire ports.

If you notice in the movie (Divx, mp3), the blast wave takes time to propagate, which could possibly mean that you might be inside the blast radius in the 30 seconds the blast takes to move. Be aware of your closure speed during this lag period -- you will be informed if you are inside the blast zone.




Don't forget to make a quick backup of your original files!

I have downloaded the files ok but I cant find where they go.....

Hehehee.... i like the idea. Used to do all types of Shennanigans back in sh2.... ever see screenies of a type21 at 10000 feet, shooting at airplanes?

every once in a while, i get bored with the same old, patrol, see nothing, sink one straggler, etc. So i nuke something. or everything. floats my boat

Sank a Kongo BB in it's own port (Kobe is awesome for this, it's just west of Osaka. It's not even guarded and I found 2 BBs, 2 CVs, a CL and a minisub all parked there) with two shots. It went up like the HMS Hood.

Now I just need to get my gramaphone to play the Imperial Theme March when I start my attacks ...

"You may fire when ready"

I love me some tacnuke torps!

[yllekm]

hehe - good one, NephilimNexus.

Highly unrealistic but fun to watch.

Anyone have some reliable real-life data on how many non-dud torpedoes it took to sink various classes of ship?

[tycho102]

Update bump.

New cheats in the original post.

[MaxT.dk]

Thanks for the update! My favorite cheat when we talk about SH4!

I've also listed your cheat on my blog post (#1 on Google if you look for "Silent Hunter 4 cheats" out of + 1.180.000 results)

Keep it up man

Needs more mushroom cloud.

lol seriously, would it be possible to resize the explosion and change the sound f/x to be even larger
