Lack of Damage detail on my u-boat

Venatore · 10-24-06, 03:46 AM

Hi,

I've just finished a patrol and the u-boat had sustained heavy damage - radio room destoryed, front batteries destoryed, AA gun destoryed, severe damage on the throughout the other compartments. When I straggled into port all I could notice was that my AA gun was bent.

Now when my crew and I are in the clubs telling the girls just how bad that patrol was ...having 4 destoyers and 3 armoured trawlers and 1 covertte on my ass and how I was the captain that evaded and got my boys home safety... well the other crew just look at me and say ....bull****e !

that didnt happen he had no noticable damge and the bent AA gun was caused by that Bernard member

I know as a u-boat captain you should avoid damage at all cost but when you've tangled with the Brits for 2 days solid you want the nurses to see just how bad you need some lovin after a near death experince

this lack of damge/scaring etc is this a known problem? if I hit a ship with my deck gun I see black shell marks etc but my u-boat only has the bent AA:hmm:

Any thoughts?:hmm:

are you running stock?....i use anzackmicks?..real damage mod...holes look like holes and damage looks alot better ...

Are the damage effects modelled in GW1.1a? So far my only career has been in the Type IIa so I haven't really incurred major damage yet.

Cheers

S!

I use Fubar's exellent skin on my type VIIb, and from 5 out of 6 patrols so far in my latest career, my boat got some damage from air attacks, DD-fire, depth charges, torpedo net, mine (and survived?, talking about odd DM?). Only external damage I have seen so far (might be wrong tho, because I don't use outside view during battle) came from DD's guns. There was perhaps a dozen or so hit marks around the hull. A big one on the port side saddle tank, which should have ruptured the ballast tank and made all other tanks leak from those smaller hits. But nooo.

. They are made from the same secret delta wood that russian planes in Il-2. And those hit marks were gone after I loaded the game next time.

It is a big flaw, that we don't have a decent damage modelling (originally). Best moments in this game are, when you are trying to survive from some $hitty situations (DiD-style). And from what I have read, there was plenty of those during the war. And if there would be visual damage for interiors (other than leaking pipe, or broken gauge glasses), I mean really busted interiors, that would be just normal. Not a weak show it currently is. Plus bent and battered railings, outer hull, tower scope, chlorine gas etc... heh, dream on... But vanilla repair times and DM is a heck of a lot better thanks to NYGM.

But, SHIV hopefully fixes this. And after all SHIII is a great game with some modding.

GW has damage detail. Lot's of it. Pick up a type XXI boat, get yourself depthcharged and then go very close to the tower! It has dents and shorches and everything you'd like!

I use GW 1.1a BTW!
