Beta 3 is up
A lot of bug fixes based on the feed back of the beta tester. The current outstanding problem is the system failure to auto upgrade the Turms/Conning Towers for the Type VIIC, Type IXB and Type IXC. Check the first post for the download link Lurker |

First of all, thank you for your great work. I love it!!!
And here is a little glitch with the type II. The bearing tool inside the compass shows incorrect heading: (nem carrier default settings 1939 ...) |

scope depth and others
could we raise some the scope depth¿ we constantly loose target lock in the rough seas, maybe some 0.3 to 0.5 metres...
just a bit but not enough to expose the conning tower Im no.3 in the new version download!! torps dont explode, now I feel happily frustrated, most of my kills are single merchs by deck gun. only torp that hit yesterday hit just after the ship had blown... also I have observed an increase in the AI of the ships, they change speeds when detecting torpedo wakes and they weave on their course, making use of a spread almost a rule, buy I feel the auto fire control solution tend to aim for the after part of the ship. overall, an excellent job

Operation Monsun Tech Notes
Operation Monsun Tech Notes
Conning Towers / Turms Unlike SH3, Turmumbau (Conning Towers) cannot be upgraded manually, but are coded to upgrade on certain dates within the *.upcge files. The only U-boats that are programmed for this upgrade are the Type VIIC, Type IXB and Type IXC. This is the schedule for the different subs Type VIIC Turmumbau I - 1940-07-30 to 1942-06-15 Turmumbau II - 1942-06-16 to 1943-12-15 Turmumbau III- 1943-12-16 to 1945-05-15 Type IXB Turmumbau I - 1939-07-30 to 1942-08-18 Turmumbau II - 1942-08-19 to 1945-05-15 Type IXC Turmumbau I - 1941-01-02 to 1943-02-15 Turmumbau III - 1943-02-16 to 1945-05-15 However you will have to “earn” this upgrade, there is a condition where you have to have had at least one patrol that was considered a good patrol. IE, earn more renown then the minimum on the first patrol rating. Just so ever one understands, besides competeing the primary objective of patrolling a defined area for the proscribed time, there is a “hidden” objective that requires you to sink any where from 1000 to 10000 tons pre patrol. So remember this, ever time you report in and get a new assignment you get another “hidden” objective in it. Radars There are only two types of radars in OM. The FuMO 61 'Hohentwiel U' Radar and the FuMO 65 'Hohentwiel U1 Drauf' Radar. The FuMO 61 will be an “optional” upgrade in Sept 1943 and a standard install Sept 1944 for the Type VIIC / Type VIIC41 / Type IXC / Type IXC40 and Type IXD2. The FuMO 64 becomes available in June 1944. The FuMO 29 and FuMO 30 will not be used because of the “very limited” deployment of the FuMO 29 and the unreliability of the FuMO 30. |

Dear Lurker and all community,
Are you planning to expand the messages.txt with much more content like in SH3 GWX? I love to receive messages on how the entire war is going etc. Or is already there one for shIV which I could download? Another question: where can I find radio stations for Atlantic campaign? The ones I found are only from 1942 december... |

Sofar, the thing seems stable, however, is the "sink ships" goal really necessary?

Ok, as I sofar could not spot fatal bugs, here comes the nitpicking
- Aircraft: take an example on the ASW layer mod by AkbarGulag and Donut. This mod is maybe too strong for the Pacific theater, but the intensity and threat of air attacks would be just right for a late war campaign. I was able to sail a VIIC from Bergen to Iceland in late 1944 without a single air attack. Biscay air attacks are more frequent, but should be increased to almost unbearable frequence. Generally, you should not be able to spend daytime on the surface in the middle north sea even in 1939 without getting an air attack. - damage model Has been really improved, but I still think most air attacks should inflict instant fatal damage, if the player does not crash dive immidiately, as it is currently when using RFB, your excellent RSRD campaign and the above mentioned ASW campaign layers. I survived three air attacks with heavy damage before finally going to the fishes.

So far so good. Everything seems to be coming together nicely Lurker, just a couple of quick questions.
First off...can anyone else having this glitch, it's just cosmetic, and I'm not really worried about it, just curious to see if anyone has replicated it. The picture is from the interior of a VIIB leaving Kiel in spet of 39. Notice the wierd glare on the speed gauge?? Is this ship from panama or not?? Also, if my memory served me correctly, this was a victory cargo and I didn't think they were in use in 39, although that may just apply to PTO. Also, in the Type VIIB seems to have a depth keeping problem. If I order ahead at 7kts at 130 meters. I'll only dive to say, 120-122 meters, at ahead flanks the depth will still only run at about 124-125 meters. Is this a historically acurate with this make of U-boat. I know that it should run a meter or so shallow when > 2kts. Or did Sh4 start calculating whether I make my daily trim dive or not. Last edited by Orion2012; 08-10-08 at 07:01 PM. |
