Sinking Ships
« on: August 18, 2009, 01:50:21 PM »
Can we get a new sinking ship animation? The whole nose first thing seems a little dramatic. How about capsize, then sink?

It would be neat to have new sinks sure.

But how often are you watching the ship go down?

Perhaps a more Titanic-style sinking effect to go along with Titanic-Tuesday? :D

I want to watch that knight ship I just torped break in half, then sink.

I wnant there to be explositions right before she goes down. After a ships takes enough damage, explositions start going off inside the ship, she explodes in half, and sinks.

Hey you all talk about us knights sucking.. But you got no idea, we have at least 3-4 newbs in the knights every day... It's maddening. Plus we always has that ONE guy with the really high score who doesn't know how to turn a ship out of the way of bombs or a torp. Most know how to CV but don't have the score.  :lol
Im not saying I'M a pro but... 1+ on the different sink styles, good idea.  :aok

Warships would roll over and sink, or settle and sink if counterflooded very effectively like Musashi.  Due to compartmentalization it would be effectively impossible for a warship to sink like they do in AH.
