Take your time on it. Just tried firing a set of torpedoes at different depths. Everything is as expected. The bunker in my screenies below survived four torpedo hits unharmed :up:

tested it too. It this close enough? :03:

If you get much closer than this, the shell should realistically hit platform's floor. I doesn't because, due to the bug I described yesterday, I had to make platform's collision mesh open on both bottom and top ends, so the shell is hitting the inner part of platforms' wall. That's a flaw indeed. Well spotted Vecko!

Possible solutions that are coming to my mind are:

• lowering a bit the collision mesh (but that would be a bit unrealistic, as it would suppose an impossible shell trajectory for avoiding the platform and, as you know, I am not a friend of this sort of "shortcuts" :));
  
• moving the bunker further forward relative to its platform (but not too much otherwise, as you have already experienced, the gun wont work at all);
  
• using the ObjectTurret controller for limiting guns's nevative elevation to what will avoid platform hits by CD guns, and closing the way to any sneaking U-boat with mines and/or with my upcoming subnets, conveniently placed in gun's blind spots (as you can imagine that's my favourite, but I know you will have some objections);
  
• a mix of the above.

Let's ponder about them :)

I dont get you there Gap? What would be unrealistic?:doh:
Right now, collision mesh stick out aproximately 1-2 m over the platforms top resulting in inner side hit even when is clearly visible that shell should "pass"...
Can you somehow match collision mesh height with actual visible 3d model, that is my question...

That must be an optical illusion Vecko, or you are looking into the wrong GR2 file. I can ensure you that the collison mesh of the file I sent you, is exactly as high as its platform. Measured in Wings3d. :know:

I will admit that the collision model it is a bit wider than the platform itself though, and in theory this fact could amplify gun's blind spot. But I widened it by such a small amount that this effect is negligible, and largely compensated by the fact that SH5's shells are dimensionless points. :yep:

You just dont want to let me sleep...:)

There is no optical illusion and under certain angles ( where mesh has larger distance from actual 3d model) deck gun shells are disrupted up to ~500m approximately...

Here's one biiiiig screenshot for you...:)

How do I fix the constant TC drop from over 64 to 1? I could care less if a friendly ship is nearby - I'm not crusing to Kiel on x64. It's boring as hell.

Hey again, in happy times i don't have any upgrade's it's normal? I have only two torpedos and basic things from 1939.

Hm ok more things in future. Awesome mod by the way, but alot of CTD. Still 2000x better than vanilla.

The big screenshot helped a lot... Sorry Vecko, I had sent you the wrong GR2 file, I must be affected by early-onset Alzheimer's :doh: :oops:

Please redownload the collisionable platform package:

Welcome to WW2 submarine warfare...:03:

You may wish to reinstall your game/modpack and to check once again tips for stable gameplay. With my current playtrough, I've passed 3 campaigns (TG,HT,WA) with only 2 CTDs in situations when I was intentionally ignore some of my own tips, in order to test game/engine limits...
Two torpedoes??:doh:

Anyway, I asked Fritz the gunner to lay down on the platform once again and take a photo...:)

As you can see, from this perspective is clearly visible that mesh height is not so minuscule after all...Fritz is not happy !:)

EDIT:
Fritz says that the new platform is much better, Fritz is happy!:yeah::yeah::yeah:

I have only this two in my upgrade menu.

Also my save is corrupted, black screen after load. So i lost a hour from my life :) but it's my fault, i need save more frequently.

It's not first time. It is possible to fix my save? I'd rather know what things corrupted this save.

http://www2.zippyshare.com/v/vtGq5PvN/file.html link here. I wonder what it is.

You have sunk friendly unit and your campaign is now over...Appropriate penalty for trigger happy captains IMO...:)

P.S.
Torpedoes are OK...

Ask Fritz if he took the last photograph while standing on the new platform, whose plans I have dispatched to you today. :03:

Fritz loves new platform!:yeah:

But...

How do you see it :)

Excellent! :yeah:
Fritz's cousin form England manage to blow up my conning twr in situation similar like in that picture. I was deck awash though but all is OK now ...
Later I'll test Fritz's resistance to heavy damage. :yep:

Hi UB
No, its not the frequency of the saves.
It is where and how you make your saves.
106 game saves and counting, no problems at all.
I normally only make 1 manual game save in a gaming session.
My gaming sessions may last from 1 to 4 hours at a time as I also play LSH3-2015 as well.
I do not make submerged saves.
I always use the compass and draw out a 60km saving boundary around the nearest destroyed mark or coast line.
I will move my boat if necessary to achieve this and return back to the position on the next gaming session unless I change my mind.

Use the Upgrades Chart short cut key is E.

New torpedoes do not appear until late 1942.

Peter

:damn: Ugh, i feel like idiot now but thanks... I try delete that ,,sunk" maybe it works.

It's good news, cause its MY fault, not mod. Thanks for that image, so i must wait to 1942. I am saving in ,,difficult situations" for example, before my attack or in ,,clear" open sea after attack.

Somebody can tell me what is the name of the mod, where the crew are speaking with voices from the movie "Das Boot"? Is this mod compatible with WoS? :)

This isn't submarine warfare, and I don't have a crew to chit chat with or daily drills, logs, etc to keep me busy.

Again, I don't want to cruise across the map on x64. How do I prevent interrupts from friendlies?

It's called DBSM Speech or something like that. It is compatible but you'll have to manually delete sh.sdlfile from it...
