[2025.1] Hardcore noise solution
In the original game, the escort does not pose much of a threat (if you have enough experience in the game). I decided to fix this with this mod to try to make the game more realistic, so that every attack on the convoy is a difficult task.
This mod greatly complicates the game. This mod is for those who have already mastered all the intricacies of the game and want to test their mettle. It will now be more difficult to escape from escorts and attack convoys. For the mod to work correctly, you need to start a new game. Compatibility with other mods that complicate gameplay is not guaranteed.
What exactly does the mod change:
1) enemy difficulty for the three game difficulties (easy, normal, high) is now the same; enemies will always have hard difficulty on any difficulty setting;
2) enemy hydrophone detectability has been changed; enemies can now hear the player’s boat as well as they would in real life;
3) ASDIC has been changed, now enemies can reliably find the player’s submarine (it is still possible to hide from sonar at the bottom of the sea);
4) The escort’s hunting time for the player’s boat has been increased (in one of the tests, the escort hunted the boat for 40 hours);
5) There is a chance that the escort ship hunting the boat will stop and wait for the boat to surface in order to catch it off guard.
6) Visual visibility has been added for gas torpedoes.
7) Noise visibility has been added for electric and gas torpedoes. Now the escort can hear torpedoes launched from the boat and raise the alarm before they hit their target. Torpedoing warships is now more difficult;
8) Added a speed change function for single ships and convoys to make interception more difficult.
Now let’s take a closer look at some of the features:
Convoys and single ships will now randomly change their speed at random intervals. If a ship or convoy has been attacked, after performing zigzag maneuvers, they will reach their maximum possible speed to get away from the dangerous area.
Mod changes ASDIC range and detection chance factor
Mod changes Radar range.
