Just read that the IJN subs did not have a bathythermograph, this absolutely has to be disabled in the orderbar.cfg!!!

I made me a small addon for the IJN mod itself that makes the AI planes see subs at shallow depth and also adds the MK-24 Fido (copied from TMO) to their loadout (at the right historical date). Once I have finished my recent fleet-boat game (made me my own mega-mod with parts and fixes of all other mods + own stuff) I gonna return to the IJN again, so expect more reports and posts soon!

One more thing I read: The IJN subs did only start to have snorkels in 44, could they be be disabled before this date? Not sure if that's possible, just asking and giving ideas...

Oh and did you fix the (stock game) hydrophone/sonar bug mentioned in the OTC mod manual, the entries in the AIsensors.dat are switched so that the sensors behave wrong. A small thing but it could help to make the AI stronger.

"Just read that the IJN subs did not have a bathythermograph..." Oh, they don't, eh? We cannot sail without one by god. They are absolutely indispensible. Uh... what is it? What does a bathy...whatchamacallit...do? BTW, have you heard that great surf rock song by Scouting for Girls called "On the Radio?" It is a classic summer time song, and was the theme song for a video of the Rell Sunn kids' surfing competition in Makaha, a prime surfing beach in Hawaii known for its famous back wash. Here it is, just for you, Captain Radio, . IGD strikes again. "The moon in the sky and we partied all night long!"

I would post it, but this is impossible it includes too many "borrowed" files from other mods

I started with GFO and added RSRD, then added everything I liked from TMO and RFB, even OM. Then I added all bugfixes that I could find in this forum (and there are many! eek) and added my own changes. and all othr things like Nisgeis and CaptainScurvy's mods... and and and...

I don't know if anybody has asked this before but what about a rendezvous with a German U-boat for a mission. I've read that they did it in real life.

I relate, only instead of modding (a skill I currently lack but admire and appreciate), it's working on a website.
