That's your prerogative, everyone has their opinion.

Since when do US Navy personnel speak in terms of meters?

Typically Modders speak in terms of meters, which is what that was. Internally, the game is metric, when you mod the game, your dealing with metric, so you get used to speaking in metric or converting imperial to metric.

Now I might believe...

Hmmm, yeah. And I believe.....

But no way are you going to see a WWII submarine (or smaller U-Boat) at 80 meters (over 250 feet) from the air I don't care what ocean you're in!

You can argue about what you believe is realistic all you want, but in the end, it's just a mod, and Lurker's choice of what he want's in his mod. Now, some mods, such as aircraft detecting submerged objects in SH4, is making the game do something it wasn't originally intended to do in order to achieve what is percieved as being more realistic behavior over the stock game. So it won't be perfect.

To expect absolute perfection in this regard, is unreasonable, and no modder appreciates someone trying to discredit their work. So If you feel compelled to yell at someone for this, feel free to yell at me all you want since im the arsehole who originally thought this bit up. Although it won't do any good as I'm much too jaded to really care.

No attempt to discredit anyone; just laying out some facts and strong beliefs based on experience. What can be modded in can be modded out.

Go ahead a mod your "personal" install all you want. I've been through this "visual" issue more than once. One thing I've found that it is "impossible" to please ever one. Now why don't you download S3D and changes the settings in AI_Visual_Sensor.dat to "what ever" you personally feel that is "realistic" and then you can go off and enjoy the game as you see fit.

That's the plan.

Version 720 is a most excellent compromise -- well done!

I know when people bring up issues, it can be viewed as YAC (yet another critic). I assure you my discussions are only intended as constructive ideas for improvement whether accepted or not.

Your efforts to bring realism and the entire Atlantic war back into the realm of SH4 are truly appreciated.

I have been careful that a lot of small planes marlet ,USFighter,Hurricane,Spitfire and enough still, they do not exist in the OM !!!
if you believe you speak us for your drawings in future for such planes .....
exists case we see update the OM with changes in the planes ?

Medals for crew do these give bonusses or are they eye candy?

When back at base how do I know if I should take mines with me instead of torps?

Te Kaha · 11-11-09, 04:37 PM

Take mines only when commanding a Type VII D boat. Don't know whether you'll get a CTD when loading mines on any other boat, but the VII D's are capable of minelaying.

looney · 11-12-09, 02:52 AM

More questions

Medals (for the crew) are Eye candy??
Is there a list of upgrades and when they will happen? (other Turm, AA guns, torps etc etc)
Sinking mechanics of a merchant, what has been tweaked? and does it have sweetspots?

P.s. I found the firing speed of the deck gun a bit slow. Wich file do i need to mod to change that? Same for 37mm flak gun
