Factory plates damage setting

[gec100]

hi 4Shades

Is there a option where i could change how tough the factory plates are?

let say if 250kg bomb hits the small plate in the center, how much damage does it make and could i change that?

thx

That is hard-coded in the HSFX java. SEOW cannot control that.

I had similiar questions regarding the factory plates, perhaps a reader here may know thr answer. Why does a single bomb do different damage levels to factory plates? I can only assume that their is either a random factor or damage is calculated based on how close the bomb impacts the centre of the plate

after IL-2 release 4.11, bomb damage has been strongly randomized, as you observed.
Before that, IIRC, for destroying a small factory plate a flight of 4xB-24 with full bombload (all hitting the target) was needed.

what i learned so far is that it is very important how close to the center the bomb hits. i'm even quite sure i've read something about that somewhere.

i've found a section in the ships.ini

Code: Select all

// Factory Durability
[strength_Factory]
MinShotCaliber    0.203
NumShots          148
MinHitExplTNT     80
NumHitExpl        20
MinNearExplTNT    90
NumNearExpl       22

[strength_FactorySmall]

MinHitExplTNT     35
NumHitExpl        180
MinNearExplTNT    200
NumNearExpl       80

[strength_FactoryMedium]
MinShotCaliber    0.203
NumShots          180
MinHitExplTNT     45
NumHitExpl        190
MinNearExplTNT    200
NumNearExpl       100

[strength_FactoryLarge]
MinShotCaliber    0.203
NumShots          180
MinHitExplTNT     50
NumHitExpl        280
MinNearExplTNT    200
NumNearExpl       120

but i'm not sure what the settings do. i'll thy to play with it a bit and see what happens

i'd like to see damage in the percentage in the way seow shows it. how can i calculate the hits and damage from eventlog to get those percentages?

[IV/JG7_4Shades]

The eventlog shows all the information you need to do those calculations - that's why we wrote the eventlog record that way! Some format information is given in the Wiki.

These factory plates are defined in the ship class of IL-2, so they use the same damage logging code. I think the damage fraction reported in the eventlog record is cumulative, so it should always be increasing for successive damage events.

thx shades. i've put mi question bad, but found the answer in the wiki.

do u have any knowledge about the settings in the ships.ini?

can changing them change the durability of the plates?

[IV/JG7_4Shades]

I can't remember exactly, but I think that you can probably alter strength settings using ships.ini.
