the only mod I was running on top of TMO was the longer sinking times (tmo version) and the guerrilla spyron convoy layer mod which after checking its files doesn't touch any sensor or enviro stuff. ive even uninstalled that now though. I came across a carrier task force with 3 cv's, 3 bb's plus various cruisers but no escorts parked of one of the bonin islands on a clear day. after sinking 2 of the carriers (both which sank within 5 mins) the rest of the fleet didn't even move. I was very surprised how quick they sank tbh. overall it wasn't a very immersive experience so Ive uninstalled the spyron mod and reverted to just TMO with LST. |

Whenever I encounter that group near Sofu Gan, if I'm ever spotted in daylight, I get attacked by aircraft dropping bombs plus the DD's move in, and if at night, as soon as the first torpedo hits, where my scope was if/when the warships spotted it, gets lit up with search lights and their 5'" guns (+/-) blast away, DD's move in, and I go deep. Sorry you didn't like Spyron. Happy Hunting! |

There weren't any dds which was the thing I found most strange, there was an aircraft though.
I also thought it was highly doubtful that such a powerful task force would be parked at such an island, surely they would only weigh anchor in major naval bases? Was this type of scenario added in the Spyron mod? I assumed it was maybe a mod conflict with TMO. |

I will ask the Spyron mod creator if the Japanese did indeed hide Capital ships at this location because it is strange to find this group there - and over such a long period. |

Spyron was made for stock or GFO. Maybe there is a problem with TMO campaign with Spyron over it.

- OK Laffertytig, I have an answer. Sofu Gan is not misplaced, btw. Quote:
He said the group of capital ships approx 13 nm SW of Sofu Gan is there, "both as a pleasant surprise & because the Japanese did use that area as a staging point. I also placed some Japanese DDs & aircraft around the perimeter of the staging area." I have stumbled into that group, have also completed that particular mission, and there seemed to be heavy air cover (enough to keep me down most of the time); plus the DD's started to move in to search as soon as the first torpedo hit. I never attempted it during the day and planned my attack to take place at night (whenever possible I try to plan my attacks to take place at night). When I attacked, the Capital ships reacted, had their spotlights searching for me, and fired their 5" guns where they thought I was. They also 'poured on the steam' and moved to try to evade my torpedo attack. Because the Spyron mod was made for Stock 1.5, there probably is a simple roster(??) conflict. It could be corrected if the difference between TMO 2.5, (also 2.1 & 2.2 if using the Small_patch) and TMO 1.9 could be found because a lot of the members used TMO 1.9. I'm thinking that something relatively simple changed in TMO 2.0 that kept the guys using 1.9. Not sure. Happy Hunting! Last edited by aanker; 10-13-15 at 12:39 PM. |

I've done what a lot of players do and have settled down to a heavily modded (my deluded view of corrected ; ) personal install on Stock with some ports, bases, shipping & escorts added where they should have been by Spyron, and do not spend any time with TMO or RFB, so it will be very interesting to see what you find. |

Hey guys, I have played TMO for a bit and while the American campaign is very good, I'm wondering wether the Uboat campaign is worth playing in TMO or I should get another mod like OM?

Myself, I'd recommend OM. You'll get a much better experience.

USS Trout
Bonjour,
On February 29, 1944, while on patrol, around 5:30 p.m. I get a message that says the USS Trout sinking Sakito Maru passenger cargo. If my sources are correct, Sakito Maru was torpedoed at 5:53 p.m. In response USS Trout was against-attacked by Asashimo and sank at 18:16 and Sakito Maru sank the next morning around 4:00. USS Trout therefore can not have sent that message. Even for a game, I find it awkward. I think if we want to give realism, it must be done carefully. But I wish I read the message from the USS Rock after meeting with Asashimo fifteen hours earlier the same day. Apart from this unfortunate blunder, I love TMO.
