Explosion Pressure waves

vienna · 10-26-10, 04:53 PM

I may be mistaken or it may be a trick of my memory, but I seem to recall that in SH2 after a surface vessel suffered a large explosion, a visible pressure wave occured immediately afterwards. This lent a bit more to the graphic experience of the expolsion. Am I correct in this memory and can this be duplicated in SH3?

Kinda been done in GWX Mod. Violent explosions to merchants that, can and will, damage your U-Boat if you're too close.

Hope that helps vienna.

I know what you're saying, Firewall, but i may have misdescribed what I'm looking for; I seem to recall a visible shock (or blast) wave that emanated from the ship exploding almost like a ripple caused by throwing something in the water, albeit on a much, much larger scale. I remember seeing the effect when tankers would explode in SH2. I have GWX installed but have not seen this effect.

It was Vicker's Fireball mod. Good stuff with the pressure wave and explosions along with burning oil on the water. Do wish SH3 had a mod like that.

Good Hunting,

Thanks, FUBAR295! Even if the effect is not available in SH3, it's reassuring to know that my memory is at least partially intact. Good hunting to you, too.
