VN Soho

[dasuto247]

Taking a break from building my CV campaign this week to finish up some works in progress.One is a Coral Sea, which is coming nicely.The issue have is making the VN Shoho not sink with such ease.Anyone able to modify the DP so in sim is can withstand a lot of punishment.My goal is to leave if on fire and useless as was in RL.I have all 93 planes of the Shoho strike, perform well just target sinks so easy 3 or 4 1000 lb bombs.I set it the invincible, it will still show fire etc but will not sunk, but when torpedoes hit, if enough do, will sink without the message notifying.

There's another Shoho at http://www.geocities.jp/mtyjr101/original.html

Maybe it might work better.

Thanks.Better model but still was destroyed after only 4 1000 lb bomb hits.Also, has sniper like AA.I am still learning about the DP.What is needed to make it stronger? where does not sink with such ease.I kind of understand how to fix the AA guns.Mostly trying to make it where ship can take a lot of punishment without being counted as destroyed so quickly.Most carriers were wrecked by bombs and sunk later.CFS 2 has its limits but if could make it where absorb a lot of punishment.

Dasuto247,

This may be too little, too late, but remember that Pen32Win did alternate .dp files for a LOT of these ships. Try the VN and / or Shoho again, but include his alternate .dp file from this package...(there are .dp files for both)

In addition to correcting the AA fire issue, I think it also affects how easily the model can be sunk. Especially with working in the Pacific, I'm sure a lot of the ships you are using are in there.

Thanks, I forgot about his DP improvements actually.There is one int here for the IJN_Soho.Nerfed the AA a bit and also made it take more damage but still needs adjusting.I dont get why when mark a ship "invincible" in the MB it still allows them to be sunk.Does not show a "ship sunk" message but still, quite aggravating. Do you know what I would need to adjust in order to make a ship take more damage?

I can't help with the invincibility question, but to make ships take more damage before sinking, you can up-armor the DP system deck parts named with "sinker" suffixes against bomb strikes, as well as any hull parts against torpedoes. The text below is from a modified dp setup for the stock Hornet.

I can't help with the invincibility question, but to make ships take more damage before sinking, you can up-armor the DP system deck parts named with "sinker" suffixes against bomb strikes, as well as any hull parts against torpedoes. The text below is from a modified dp setup for the stock Hornet.

In the [SYSTEMS]area above, the deck, hull and deck_sinker parts are highlighted in bold. Increase the number that follows the system_name.XX%, like system.0=%system_name.0%,10000,-1


Essentially, what you're doing is increasing the amount of life points to a part, which increases its destructive resistance. You can do this manually with text edits to the DP or you can open the DP with DPed, open the [PARTS] window and find the part. The part will have a life point box with numbers in it -- changes go there. But i personally prefer to do this amount of work with text edits because its quicker that working so many individual parts inside the DPed proggy.

Thanks, I changed them to 10000 and saw some improvement but will need to up them and test again.Guess those 1000 lb from DBolt weapons really pack a punch.Goal basically is to have it where a ship is left on fire and damaged, as most capital ships were, to sink later.Carriers esp sink rather easy.Soho was a CVL but endured a lot of bomb and torpedo hits before sinking, trying to have it still afloat after strike.Found SBD's dont miss much, suppose could set them back to rookie but then they tend to fly like fools when set to rookie and get shot down easy by enemy fighters.This sim is such a balancing act at times.Learning this so can improve US fleet carriers and IJN fleet carriers to future use.

This is from my VN Essex. Exact same system parts setup but huge difference in parts' life points. Using the common damage dices (damage potential) encoded into most stock and add-on ordnance, this ship is borderline invincible, especially against torpedoes (hull parts 17-23). As for the deck parts, Dbolt's 1000 pounders are coded with a dice of 1d1*10000, which means that in this case it would take about 5 direct hits to completely destroy a single deck part like system.2=%system_name.2%,45000,-3 ("system_name.2"=deck_aft_19). Having five AI dive bombers hit the same deck part five times while taking AA fire and dodging interceptors in a single strike is virtually impossible. This is about where invincibility comes into play...:biggrin-new:

Trying to make the Soho similar to BPF carriers?

BPF metal decks would take direct bomb-laden aircraft hits and leave dents in the decks which our British cousins could repair in a matter of a couple-to a few-hours instead of taking the carriers out of the fight for days or weeks.

Lol no but trying to make it where it can stay afloat after the 93 planes from Yorktown and Lexington attacked on 7 May.Ship was left wrecked and went down within 15-20 minutes or so.Figure it set it where it may sink after 80 or dive and torpedo bombers attack, fine but as ship comes now, takes 4 or 5 1000 bomb hits, it sinks.Just trying to find a nice balance.

Well I tried it again, set numbers higher and took many more bomb hits but still it was destroyed.Here is what I did to the DP.Look if dont mind and tell me what I did wrong.

[dasuto247]

Thanks for all the help:applause: I finally got it figured out, now need to tone it down lol(set it all to 99000) and it took a ton of punishment, left the scene with the Soho burning.

[The B24 Guy]

Hi Dasuto247,

Pen32win created a invisible target named "AF-priority target".
You can place it near the ship under attack and have some aircraft attack it.
This would be a way to control how many hits the carrier takes.

B24Guy

This is interesting.
Thanks for the head's up.

Here is another thing to try,

the stock US 1000 lb bomb does 1d1*10000 worth of damage. The stock US 2000lb bomb does 1d1*20000 damage. If you want to survive all of the waves then you need to either increase the amount each box can take or adjust the AI so that they will miss more.

Something else to consider would be the amount of damage the whole system/box can take.

we can look at this one as an example...

[BOXMAPS.10]
; Box = deck_port_20
boxmap.0=40,-11
boxmap.1=20,-36
boxmap.2=20,-38
boxmap.3=20,-50


These four systems are linked to the same damage box...

system.10=%system_name.10%,45000,-11
system.35=%system_name.35%,100,-36
system.37=%system_name.37%,100,-38
system.49=%system_name.49%,45001,-50

"system_name.10"=deck_port_20
"system_name.35"=40mm Gun7
"system_name.37"=40mm Gun9
"system_name.49"=deck_port_20_sinker

40% of the entire damage is being taken by system 10. I would change the box like so...

[BOXMAPS.10]
; Box = deck_port_20
boxmap.0=50,-11
boxmap.1=5,-36
boxmap.2=5,-38
boxmap.3=40,-50

now see how well it can hold up. the two larger systems will take the damage. The guns will be destryed but the ship can take more of a beating in that area.

[Blood_Hawk23]

here is what everything is telling you,

system.10=%system_name.10%,45000, -11
system.35=%system_name.35%,100, -36
system.37=%system_name.37%,100, -38
system.49=%system_name.49%,45001, -50

this is the part number. anything with a "-" infront of the number is treated as a generic location. CFS2 will still see it as a part but not link it to an aircraft part.

from that you can see what the other systems are in the box.

[BOXMAPS.10]
; Box = deck_port_20
boxmap.0=40, -11
boxmap.1=20, -36
boxmap.2=20, -38
boxmap.3=20, -50

so by knowing that you can see what systems are affected. then you can balance out the box so most of the damage will go to the larger areas.
