Yes, I realize that, but the sim file doesn't allow me to change the range by year. For example, I don't think most (or maybe any) fleetboats had FBT's before 1943, and some didn't have it in 1944. The prop specialist allows you to get this ability after you've gone on some patrols. If I could put it into an upgrade pack, I would do that, but AFAIK, that's impossible.



I redid the tsr, upc files related to the propulsion and battery specialists so they are in a more game-friendly form. Still have to use the theoretician icon.

I also looked at this part of the tsr file:

;UPCCrewData\SpecialGlobalAbilities.upc
Fanatical Leader=Fanatical Leader
Unbreakable Leader=Unbreakable Leader
;UPCCrewData\SpecialLocalAbilities.upc
Torpedo Crew Leader=Torpedo Crew Leader
Torpedo Detonators Specialist=Torpedo Detonators Specialist
Torpedo Engine Specialist=Torpedo Engine Specialist
Torpedo Warhead Specialist=Torpedo Warhead Specialist
Surface Propulsion Specialist=Surface Propulsion Specialist
Underwater Propulsion Specialist=Underwater Propulsion Specialist
Propulsion Specialist=Propulsion Specialist

I tried using those terms, but I couldn't get them to work. Perhaps they are leftover from sh3.

I am interested in your maneuvering solutions - fix, imo they needed attention. Happy you took that project on.

Tried something else today for this (rough seas effects), but no success.

About the dive speed ability; I'll take a look at it. I don't think it is really needed, as far as having it in a beginning crew. The dive speed (on the Gato) is pretty fast, much better than before. If you are cruising at 10 kt. and put on speed as you dive, you can get to 63 ft. in under a minute. I consider this pretty realistic.

Have you sailed the Traveller's Mod 2.6? His waves are gigantic and in the worst weather I've seen the speed vary up to -5 (maybe even more) kts from the ordered speed.

I didn't know Traveller worked on this issue. I'll definitely have to look at that. Thanks for the tip.
