Harder Better Faster Darker

Description
MOD Date: 2024-08-21 MOD Version: 2024.10 Game Version: Full Release 2024.1 Patch 10

Deck gun and AA guns are stronger, faster and have longer range.
Added some QoL (Quality of Life) touches.

Technical Specifications:
- Player U-boat speed increased from 32.8 to 44.4 (All other factors such as displacement, draught, weight, etc - still apply). U-boat might not reach new max speed due to other factors.
- Observation Spot/Sight Range increased from 7500/8500 to 10000.
- Observation Spot/Group Sight Range increased from 13 to 14.
- Observation Spot/Group Area Size increased from 7.5 to 8.

- Torpedo T3 LUT, T3 FAT, and T5 Pi4 range increased from 6500 to 10000.
- Torpedo T3 LUT, T3 FAT, and T5 Pi4 damage radius increased from 35 to 40.
When these torpedoes are warmed the range is increased to 10000, this should cause a prolonged track and search status after missing a target increasing the chance of a sucessful hit in accordance with LUT or FAT program. Have fun!

- Sonar Decoy cloak radius increased from 2500 to 4000.
- Sonar Decoy noise increased from 0.75 to 0.80.

-Anti-Radar Coated Snorkel radar detectability decreased from 25% to 20%.
-GHG Balkon Hydrophone range increased from 11800 to 14000.
-GHG Balkon Hydrophone aiming performance increased from 0.06 to 0.12.
-Antenna range below water increased. Receiving transmission depth set at 10. Transmitting transmission depth increased from 4 to 10.
-FuMB 26 Tunis radar detector range increased from 30000 to 40000.
-Potassium Absorbers duration increased from 18 to 25.
-Doubled the effectiveness of combat helmetts from 2HP to 4HP.
-Doubled the energy recovery of coffee from 0.4 to 0.8
-AA machinegun rounds range increased from 3000 to 6000.


- Deck Gun HE/AP/AA damage values increased from 22/17.6/22 to 40/40/40 respectively.
- Deck Gun reload time decreased from 7 to 3.
- Deck Gun range increased from 12Km to 16Km.
- Deck Gun artillery munitions stack increased to 256.

-Lowered the weight and increased the stack size of some items for better inventory management.

BONUS
-Increassed the officers max limit from 6 to 7 (not counting Captain)
-Increased max crew limit:
Type IIA: From 14 to 18
Type VIIC: From 20 to 30

- Increased Stack size for:
Coffee
Scrap
Potassium Absorbers
Medkits
Sonar Decoy
Red Light Sight Bonus Increased

- THIS IS IMPORTANT!!! SAVEFILE Compatible? NO

This mod project was made for fun and decided to share it. Always remember, happiness is only real when shared... I'm an amateur modder, feel free to pitch in ideas, constructive criticism, comments, etc. -Dark

PS: I'd like to find work in the video-game industry. I have a little experience making mods for a few games, also I have an IP that will be big, and I mean BIG, if given the chance to develop it. I currently live in Texas. If you know someone that can help me fulfill my dream please refer them to me. If you help me I will make a very nice reference to your name in my MOD.

2025 Update?
Kronholm 8 Apr @ 1:21am 
Is there any way you could update this to run with the 2025 update? I miss being able to go through convoys like taco bell through a fat man.

How to reduce Clear Sight with Night light
George 27 Dec, 2024 @ 9:26pm 
nope it does not, it messes with dives told it to go to perscope and it went to 100 mtr took 5 min to get up again even with 48 tc, it messes with where the quest ship to sink is, not at location, messes with hydrophone never really active no matter what way you turn boat to prevent blind spots etc, we need an update for patch 23 for this to work properly
George 27 Dec, 2024 @ 7:36pm 
seems it does, BUT, warehouse only have 2 torps for sale at all times, this is annoying, having to wait 16 h then buy 2 more etc untill boat is filled
George 27 Dec, 2024 @ 7:27am 
does this work with patch 23 ?

Would u please increase the sack size for 100 (100 spare parts, 100 meds etc.)? Mod works otherwise fine

Well, the darker in the name doesn't really fit.
The night sight range becomes extremely inflated.
I once had almost 90 nautical miles of vision, in all directions, at night and that was even without an officer on the bridge.
Even on a perfect day, you can hardly see smoke at 7nm away, due to Earth's curvature.
Unfortunately this makes the mod unusable for me, as it's basically a cheat.
Simply stay on the surface at night, because your sailors can see farther than the hydrophone can listen. :laughing_yeti:

for torpedo availability issue change Stack Limit form 10 to 1 in the Entities.xlsx file Equipment sheet pass is Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\494840\2421630077\Data Sheets, i've alos added a slot sheet to increase the number of available torpedo based on freshresupply mod but was not able to post file

I have the same problem with torpedo availability - just one of each type in the stores. A real shame because I otherwise love the idea of this mod.
