submarines!

[Templar]

Understood, not too sure how big of a headache that issue would be....  I think someone posted that it could be a matter of assigning a negative value to the water similar to the positive values of air altitude (relative to the value of land or water surface)...... I'm not an expert but that basic theory sounds reasonable to me.  And btw 5pointOh, I sincerely appreciate you for bringing up a relevant "technical" issue for discussion.

that is concerning issue to after all the water in ah is 2d not 3d

Not really sure what the first part of your post is saying...... not gonna pick on you about it though.  But the important part is 2D versus 3D. Anyone care to jump in with relevant thoughts on this?

my friend has an idea but he's too chicken to type it in so here goes: have subs stay with other naval forces like pt boats. ex: your driving your pt boat then whack your hit by a torp taking out most of your gunner stands so you use the subs lone mg to blast the tbm thhat attacked you out of the sky or position the sub to take a torp shot

I'm not sure what your idea is.  BTW, .50cal can tear apart a PT boat.  Do torps even ride at the right level to damage a PT in game?

Yeah, but anyway I have clue what you are saying.  I believe we'll see subs in the game some day, whenever HTC gets some spare time and figures out how to best implement it.

If a torp could get shallow enough to hit a PT boat (torpedo run depth having a normal value of X and PT boat having a draft value of Z), and if its warhead had a contact detonator versus a magnetic detonator (PT boats being made of with a wooden hull) then I'm pretty sure the warhead would destroy the boat......

Yeah, that was my point, it would destroy the boat, and then some.

and then some more.

Glad to be of assistance sir.

ok this is geting a little of track but good point about the torp hiting the pt and most pt boats were made out of rubber

Most PT boats were made out of rubber?  Seriously, where do you get these nuggets of knowledge?  All three PT boat manufacturers that build PT boats for the USN used mahogany in the construction of the boats.


ack-ack

My boats' made of rubber, your boats' made of glue...
Bullets bounce off me and stick to you.......

Bwahahahaahhaa...teehee
