I'm sure I've rested my boat on the bottom before with no ill effects. Just stop your engines and set depth, so you don't plough into the sea bed. You shouldn't crushed, unless the sea bed is too deep of course! Do you have any mods currently?

You didn't say what version you are running or what mods. Perhaps your insta death is caused by a mod conflict?

Right. Bottoming the boat with forward motion (any kind of motion) or with a lot of vertical speed will cause a huge a amount of damage.

Try stopping the boat. hover just a couple of feet about the bottom and then settle it down.

I've seen boats on the bottom, but in shallow water and tied up to the pier. Eight or ten boats settled to the bottom to ride out Hurricane Betsy in 1965, which was heading for Key West. A sight to see. A few had to ride out the storm because of experimental equipment on the bottom of the hull, mine included.

This appears to be for an early version of SH3. Will it work with the latest SH4

the fix should be the same so you will just have to create the sh4 version by changing the corresponding files in sh4 but the differences in sh3 and sh4 are so minor its as simple as changing the values to the same settings he used for sh3.

PM him and im sure he can give you any help you need

Guys this is frustrating me.

I would really just appreciate help with what files to mod to stop the instant death screen and damage when bottoming.

The Thomson file I can't download from the rapidshare because of thier looney kitty cat laidened code system that tells you to enter 4 letters with a cat and give you 5 figures with kitties, and two of those being numbers (who came up with that stupidity?).

Thats what i do. Not that i bottom the boat all that often. Not something i particuarly like to do since

a.) It doesnt fool the AI
b.) Depth charges have no where to go but right on you.

I suspect that if its not a stock issue, then its an issue with reduced hitpoints. Subs in TM do infact have half the hitpoints of stock, and 5 or 10 less armor , i forget exactly, but in stock, some capital warships have those kind of statistics. That had to change.

If we had an acutal boyancy model aside from neutral, i might be more concerned about bottoming the boat, but since all they do is hover, its really not an issue. You could hover 1 to 2 feet off the bottom without any problem at all.
