[REL] RFB/Real Fleet Boat for 1.5 - Page 206

Keef Kavannah · 10-18-09, 07:10 AM

quick question: i've read the manual and i see no captured American deck gun under the german update roster. does RFB remove it?

ETR3(SS) · 10-18-09, 11:24 AM

Yes it does. The scope of RFB is realism. The Germans were never in a position(to the best of my knowledge) to capture a US 5"/25 cal deck gun.

Keef Kavannah · 10-19-09, 11:57 AM

well realism is my main aim in gaming, but i still think having more probabilities spices up the dish. we have to remember that during the war many things were done on field, on the spot, hoping to gain some advantage. i remember reading about adolph galland (german ace fighter) bf109 who had 100octane fuel (standard was 80), 2 more mgs and more ammo in the wings...

sometimes Real Life beats even LucasArts....

I'd like permission to host RFB.

At this time we have all the stock Japanese DDs and two of the Allied ones complete. I don't know when the other ones will be completed. I have too much other stuff going on in my life at the moment to really be able to focus on the warship damage models.

Correct, and that's why we've removed it from the German upgrade option list.

Yes, and just to add to this a bit: work on the mod has slowed as of late, since I am now back in school. That's taking up the majority of my time right now. However, I do plan soon to send out a new beta test file for RFB 2.0, and hopefully if all goes well it will then soon be released to the community. No timetable for that, though.

Correction to the above: three of the Allied DDs have been re-zoned to the updated standards. As of now, these are the warships that will be re-zoned with the release RFB 2.0:

Akizuki
Asashio
Fubuki
Minekaze
Mutusuki
Shiratsuyu
Clemson
Somers
Fletcher
Subchaser

In general, DDs will go down with one hit, with some taking two. Sinking time is almost always less than 30 minutes (will need to re-run some tests to see, for sure). (Edit: confirmed average sinking time of 15-20 minutes, depending on hit location).

I'd love to move on to the larger warships, but there's just no time for that now.

I hope RFB 2.0 is release before the end of the year

It will be, for sure. Likely it will be out by the end of November.

Great news and a big thanks to the RFB team

Looking forward to RFB2, with all changes implemented that I'm now adding manually and much more

LukeFF, I have somewhere lying around a project I started some time ago for a realistic binocular view (Rounded, like the TBT) that also has a reticle. I know the real Bausch&Lomb items issued to the Submarine force had that reticle for rangefinding (Mils reticle) but I haven't been able to find a sample of it to copy. I have instead a reticle from a B*Lomb issued to the Army, so I was planning to add that one instead, until something better comes up. I will try to send you the finished item before the RFB2 release, so you can include if you see it worth it.

Travis Reed · 11-10-09, 03:19 PM

Just out of curiosity, did RFB modify anything dealing with aircraft rendering?

I'm having an issue in stock and with TMO 1.7 where they aren't rendered until practically ontop of you (by that point, the aircraft spotted call had benn made awhile ago).

I do remember being able to see most planes at far longer ranges with RFB...
