Sailors On The Ship Visible? Detailed Damage Model

Hm some question to East.

Have you ever thought about to put sailors on the ships so it would be look more "at live"? Or is it to difficult. I always feel i fight against "Ghostships" In many flightsims you can see the pilots too. It would be great.

And a detailed damage Model would be great too. I thougt something like this.

Several Sections with its unique damage attributes.

For example: A 380mm shell penetrates 616mm steel at 5000 yards.

The computers checks what type of ship is hit, what compartment is hit and calculates the damage depending on several factors.

So it would be possible for example to sink a submarine with a single shot

because the pressure hull was hit or render it unable to dive.

Or a freighter takes more hits to sink because his cargo keep it on the surface.

This was often the case in WW2. Especially when surface ships attacked cargo ships. They had to take torpedos to bring it under water.

Write me please your suggestions.

The issue of the "missing crew" has already been brought upHere

as for the damage thing, ERT is more of an action game (IMO) and fires, taking on water and fuel leaks are pretty nasty!

as for the sub thing - yes it happened, but subs dead in 1 hit... not very good for the 52% of registered users who dwell beneath the surface

sure its more realistic, but it detracts from gameplay and its all about the fun don't forget

want realism over gameplay, wait for DC2 or SH3

enigma!: = fun buxton:

I have been sent to the bottem within 1 min of a mission starting and there was no BB. in the 20 secons it takes to rig to dive my hull was groining and popping.

I think when Mulitiplayer comes you will find Sub's to be a very viable means of destroying anything that dares come after it. A BC kills everything with one hit and DD's only dive once!

Thanxx for the answers. Ive got german edition of Enigma and have to wait for the patch. From which ive read the patch must be amazing!!!

Hmm ive played nearly all naval sims and enigma is great without doubt.

So Im very excitied what will come in the future.
