So exactly how do you need to install NSM with TMO, not through JSGME? But picking apart the mod and installing bits and pieces of it?

If I install it with JSGME do I install it first or TMO2 first?

OH the humanity!

Hi guys,

I'm running the latest TMO (along with easier AI) - no other mods installed, fresh installation on 1.5 version of the game.

I seem to have a problem (not sure though). All japs dd seem to have an extremely shallow draft. I can torpedo subchasers, but not dd's (they ride much higher in the water). Even if I set my torpedoes to minimum, magnetic, they seem to go like 2 meters under all dds'.

I'm currently in august 1942 in game.

Is this a problem, or are all my torpedoes running deeper, and I should wait until mid 1943 to be able to get dd's ?

Thank you,

Thank you,
TMO models the type 14 running 11 feet deeper then it was set, just like it did in reality. If you want to go DD plinking, I would suggest packing a couple type 10s, as they don't have this problem.

Not over; before RSRDC. First TMO 2, second Beta Update and after, RSRDC.

Using just plain TMO2, I keep getting "radar contacts" in my S-boat out of Manila, which certainly doesn't have radar.

TMO bug, or something else?

Do you have the SD air search radar?

Yes. Searching around, I gather that what I'm getting is reports of air contacts.

With bearing information, which isn't historically accurate.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they didn't have radar search for U-Boats at that time. How historically accurate is this game trying to be? And I'm assuming the mods sort of throw caution to the wind in that respect?

I thought the US boats had the advantage of SD air search radar at the beginning of the war, or at least within a month by January, and for sure in early 1942. It may only have had a 6 - 10 nm range at first but was enough advance warning to dive. This was considered secret information and so it is hard to find precise documentation. These sets and masts were installed at the earliest opportunity. What I've read says by Jan 42.

Happy Hunting!

I don't know about TMO, but in RFB, I'm in a S-18 class boat, and yet to receive radar, or any other upgrade, for that matter. I gather the Asiatic fleet S-boats are the red-headed step-children of the USN.

BTW, in SHCE the S-boats got SD radar, and it actually worked! That was nice......
