A Question About The USS Narwhal in SH4

[Pooch]

I just ordered this and I'm waiting to download it. But I can't help but notice that I haven't seen many (any?) screenshots of it in game. Have none of you guys bought it? Is it not all that good?
To those who have, do you like it? I suppose, even if I don't, at least I've donated to a good cause, anyway. The couple of shots I've seen look good, though.

I'm one of the guys who built it, and I can tell you a goodly amount of time was spent developing it.
However, the scope that I had for the mod was greatly limited by the timetable and my own abilities.
I can assure you that the Mod is realistic and fun to the extent that we could make it.
But, I'd love to revisit it and build the better model I always wanted for the Narwhal.

(Wait till you catch a freighter on the surface with those 6-inchers!)

Beautiful model! Beautiful. I just pulled it up, but before I even run a mission in it I had to come in here and tell you what a terrific job you guys did on it. Really nice. Geez! It's a submersible destroyer. Gonna be fun. Great addition to this sim. Okay, now let me get back and try those 6 inchers out on some tankers!
But once again....nice.

I have to give you the obligatory warning though, she's as big as a battleship and she dives like she's made of cork.
She's an easy target for the escorts, and she doesn't turn that fast or dive that deep. But she'll go far and she'll get you there fast and with a little planning you can be the scourge of the Pacific right there with the Gatos and Balaos, no problem :up:
And, on behalf of team Narwhal, thanks!

yes I have it and love it but I cant get it to work in rfb so I hadn't been using it

[Sledgehammer427]

Les, I got her working. I'll see about uploading the RFB patch in the next couple days

Did you ever upload and publicly release this patch for the donation NARWHAL - one that is compatible with RFB?

I hand-edited my copy to work, however I wish I took better notes back then describing exactly what I did, because TorpX is about to release his updated 'Improved Ship Physics' mod for RFB and I think he will be using a RSRD NARWHAL - if I understood correctly. I'll need to edit that update using his formulas posted in his topic, see if they work, and if not, play with the settings to get the donation NARWHAL to work...

I enjoy using the donation NARWHAL, and since I don't have RSRD I was unaware there was another one, other than TMO's NARWHAL. (I use a modified version similar to the 'Guerrilla Submarines Spyron Mod' found here:
http://www.subsowespac.org/silent-hunter-4-mods.shtml ) for my campaign, combined with some changes and additions to the stock 1.5 shipping.

Happy Hunting!
