PT boats that shoot torpedoes!

RB, Keep working on it.....You'll got it, sooner or later.

@RB
What are those 2 conningtowers doing either side of the sub? I saw only one Uboat in the submerges screenshots

Is this going to work with GWX 2.0?
Btw does GWX have aircraft that are able to fire rockets?

YES.....to the aircraft firing rockets

I made a new weapon called the Ship Quad Torpedo launcher which is based off of the 21QuadTorp in the guns.dat file (this only gave an object - it was never a finished weapon by the devs!). This new weapon shoots torpedoes and has a maximum loadout of 4 torps. The torps have a max range of 1500m and travel @ 125 knots (yeah unrealistic but remember compromises - we could have nothing at all here!). Basing off of my PT boat torp launcher I was able to make this weapon that is available to all ships. Further testing needs to be done on it to ensure it works correctly (as designed) but here's a video showing the weapon fitted to a Hunt I destroyer and it's attack on my sub:

video is 5 megs in size and I used windows movie maker to get the file size down and to add some effects and text to it.

Next up, AI subs.......

Now we know what the Indians felt like when they first encountered the gatling gun :hmm:

It's a crying shame they launch every 3/4 seconds....I do recognise and admire your attempts

the time between launchings can easily be modified. I just have it set to a very low time to see how they work. Remember, it's still in development stage but looking VERY promising

Is there a download file available for this mod yet.

One of the best Mods so far if it works.

not available yet. Still much to test and adjust. Will need testers though here soon. Just got done making a weapon for the AI subs. Wolfpack screenies coming here soon.....

[TheDarkWraith]

AI sub torpedo weapon made and added to two AI subs. The placement of the torp weapon for the AI subs needs to be adjusted but I just wanted to see if it would even work. Added the two AI subs to my sub in a single mission to see how they would do. A lone Hunt I destroyer was stalked by 3 subs in a wolfpack and destroyed. Screenies:

both AI subs engaging Hunt I with deck guns and torps. Middle AI sub fires first torp:


close up view of this AI sub firing it's first and second torps:


second AI sub acquires target and commences firing it's torps:

:hmm:
Interesting idea

Now if only you can get the torps to fire from the bow

[denis_469]

Excellent screens.
Now need fire from bow or stern or tt surface ships. But it my thinks only.

that's an easy fix to do. Just have to move the placement of the launcher. I just wanted to see if it would even work and it did!
Now this is getting FUN

Not like you'd ever see where they came from playing realistically anyway (from your deck).

Presumably a similar technique will fire the AI torp from a launcher in SH4. Woot!.

Nice work.
