Does this version 1.3 avoid the problem in the SH3 1.3 version mentioned here?

Yes it does. There is no loop bug in the SH4 version. I double checked the file before uploading it

Excellent. I saw the version numbers before I noticed it was a specific SH4 version and just wanted to make sure.

Hoping to get a chance to try this out real soon.

Thank you for the gret MOD !!!

Works very well with the latest update on my game (SH$ v 1.5 = GFO)

BillBam · 04-05-11, 12:42 PM

I have been playing this mod with TMO 2.1 and GFO setups and must say I love it!! I was always frustrated when I would hit something and it didn't sink and had to waste another fish on it, usually having to work into position with escorts running about.

With this mod I have gotten credit for a sinking up to 1.5 hrs. after the initial attack due to the conitnued damage caused by fires. Not in all cases but in some and this is as I would expect, not looking for a 100% sink rate. I find that it is more likely in merchants and DD then large capital ships and again this is as I would expect it since merchants have more things to catch on fire and have weaker damage control onboard (unless you are a flattop at Midway with planes, bombs and fuel crowding the decks.)

Good job TDW!

I hit a tanker in ATO with two torpedoes. It stopped dead in the water, with fires burning. Quite awhile later there was a large explosion. A litte while after that, there was a second large explosion and it went down. I attribute it to this mod. Good job and important to effectuate realism.

I'm not sure I can tell a difference, sometimes I think I can, other times seems to be the same. Doesn't seem to effect capital warships. I was using a S boat and hit two carriers with two torps each, both listing and on fire with decks at the waterline. I tried to catch them, but those slow S boats. It appears they were making 12 kts, just couldn't get around them with all the planes. Later the fires went out and off they went.

This mod seems to make my torpedoes to INSANE amounts of damage right off

Almost as if I hit a magazine or fuel tank - or some sort of explosive cargo

Is that a bug, or on purpose?

Capt. Morgan · 04-23-11, 09:09 PM

@ Anthony W

Maybe you've been really lucky and have hit explosives and fuel.

I've just put two Mk.14's into a 10,000t tanker and it took the better part of an hour to sink (using this mod, TMO 2.1 & RSRDC)

I didn't even know the game modeled that? Because up till I downloaded this, hitting a tanker could take a while before it sank - but actual reports indicated that those things lit off like TNT

BillBam · 04-23-11, 10:05 PM

I have noticed a larger louder explosion but definitely not more damage at least initially, it is all show.

In the mission editor you can vary the cargo on the ships, both external and internal. Ammunition and fuel are two of the options (big KaBoom), and then again, tankers can also be empty.

I don't have the manual handy but IIRC, TMO Varies the stock frequency of explosive cargo throughout the course of the war.
