Regards!
I decided to open a topic torpedo boats and perhaps other small fighting vessels. I understand this issue is not quite new and partially was already considered by different masters of mods SilentHunter. I Would like to unite here all achievements in this theme with your participation to bring into one general full-fledged result.

In the original SilentHunter4 addon torpedo boats theme little disclosed, unfortunately - presents a one class of Elco, armed only with machine guns. In the history of the WW2 torpedo boats had a greater distribution and participation, for example is enough to recall the opposition of German E-Boats vs MTBs allies. Nicknamed as "mosquitoes", maneuverable, fast and small Torpedo boats were carrying a real danger, and for its size have great arms and equipment:

* Machine guns and Heavy m-guns (30; 37; 40 mm)
* ASW depth charges
* to 4 torpedo installations
* some - artillery (57; 76 mm)
* some in LateWar - rocket installations (130 mm)
* generator smokescreen

==================================================

MTB Vosper 72' (72'6") with Launched Torpedoes/Depth Charge/Smokescreen.
Released June, 2013.

Mod:

This modification for Silent Hunter IV, tested on (ver.1.5.) U-Boat Missions.

Сontains:

* Torpedo boat class "Vosper" 72'6" ft (done on drafts 70-foot and 72-foot 6-inch types). Loaded in: British.

* Authentic depth charges and DC-racks (done on drafts PT-Boat Depth Charge Mk 6 and Type C release rack).



On board Vosper total quantity: (3x4) = 12 pcs.

When you driving under water at high speed, boats can spotted you and bomb you. Also they can bomb the place where you recently dive.

* Smokescreen Generator.



On board Vosper total quantity: 1 cartridge.
Added smokescreen effect. In action gives the boat a smokescreen duration of 3 minutes.

* Launched Torpedoes for movable targets (modified).
Based on the "launched torpedoes" by DarkFish.

Basic changes:

• Torpedoes are started only along the direction of motion of the boat.
• Authentic individual model of torpedo for a torpedo-boat with individual characteristics (done on drawings PT-Boat 21-in Mk 8 torpedo)
• Added a small visual and sound effects of launch.

On board Vosper total amount: (1x2) = 2 pcs.

Even so it is not very effective fire with a small percentage of hits but, nevertheless, the PTboat can launch torpedoes in you and it adds to their danger.

Also on board Vosper: twin Vickers machine gun mounting and a searchlight.

Ready for JSGME Generic Mod Enabler (unpack to MODS folder).

ATTENTION!: Uploaded additional folder of sound effect for torpedo firing (in the base folder I set the gunfire sound effect for the main installation). _SoundFX folder has a modified Sh.sdl file for new sound - possible conflicts with other installed sound-mods (with their own Sh.sdl) - just set the folder _Basic. On a clean SH4 version or modification without sound-mods (with Sh.sdl) - set both folders.
