Torpedos

[+331Killerbee 840]

I've looked over the Torpedo Data in the WeaponsData.ini and have found them to be lacking. My best guess is that not many fly Anti-Ship or ASW Missions with them. After Testing them a bit, I found that they didn't release well. They tended to float after release with the present Data. So I tweaked them. So, Here's my Entries....

 

I'll use the Mk 46 Mod 5 for an Example. These Entries can be added to all Torpedos.

Now in Your MissleObject.INI, You'll want to add this.....

Now You'll want to Make a Effect. Here's Mine. It uses a Stock Texture from the Game. I call it "TorpedoEffect".

You'll want to put it in the Effects Folder......That's it!

 

Be sure to add the New Torpedo Data to the WeaponsData.ini. Load it in the Weapons Editor and hit "Save".

 

Launch under 2nm. Be sure that the Ground Target is slected. (Red Box around Ship) and Sink Um'....

 

Semper Fi!

One thing of note. If You have Your Weapons set to "Hard" under "Customize...", Under "Simulation Difficulty" in the "GamePlay" Section of the "Options Menu", The Torpedos will not release. The setting must be on "Easy" or "Normal" for the Torpedos to work properly.

 

Mine are set to "Normal" during Torpedo Releases....
