I am liking this patch.
In my career I am in the USS TENCH with home port MIDWAY and it is September 21, 1943 in port. This career was started from the beginning of the war with beginning port of Midway. I see no change to the boat or her crew.
Upon leaving port however the game has me leaving PEARL. NO Crash.
I sailed across towards Guam. Encountered some whalers guarded by small corvettes and some other small escort with a walk way from the fore gun to 02 deck. While their evasive maneuvers were nice to see and one escort even tried to find me I sunk them all. One an escort while I was in flank reverse less than 1000 yards. Still no one shooting at me.
Dive times much improved
I am getting consistent dive times of 36-45 seconds from surface to 55 feet at standard speed. This is almost exactly what Tambor would get in world war two. 45-50 seconds from periscope depth to surface.
Ship physics seems to be a bit nicer. The extra drag on the boat is there for sure. Many will notice a huge difference in the drag on the boat going from speed to all stop.
Maybe it is just the time of year but there seems to be a lot more rough seas on this patrol.
Cosmetic issue found on the Tench that I had not noticed before:
The forward planes do not move up flush with the body and then down when submerged. At 200 feet and surfacing they do move a small amount but still stay fairly parallel to the body. The large shafts that control the planes stick far out past them into the water and at their other end they are sticking above the main deck and criss cross each other. This criss cross goes away once the submarine has reached 30feet or higher towards the surface. If I had to take a guess it would say they are on the wrong side of the boat, upside down or both.
On the port side of the Tench the water level numbers are turned backwards as if in a mirror.
Parker Tin can is now a Frigate unless it really is a Frigate and tin can is still around somewhere. This was seen at Truk.
After I sank a ship and put two torpedoes in a CV I had to leave Truk. No more fish.
I was sailing back to Pearl when I kept getting map updates of a Type IV submarine moving away from Truk so I turned around to find it. This was not hard the update on the map was consistent. When I found it I sailed backwards to it in hopes of gunning it. (no fish) The Type IV was at zero speed.
Planes came over and I dove and got closer. I came up 4500 yards away and they began to fire at me. Their second shot hit me (I saw the shake in the deck gun view port as I lined up a shot on them) but no sound from their hit on me and that is when the game crashed.
