Moved question per your request
Propbeanie, I have a question after seeing nine destroyers in each of two different 14 ship Japanese invasion fleets.
Side view using the unit camera buttons (< & >), destroyers with #5 and #18 on their bow (don't know them by name) seem to be riding abnormally high in the water. The red band around the hull appears extremely high as the propellers and rudders are seen at or above sea level. The other ships appeared normal. Career mode, Manila was home port, located outside the Lingayen Gulf in my 4th patrol area in an S-boat. Dates were 12/24/41 and 12/26/41. Window 7 laptop, 4 gig memory, 64-bit, using LAA.

I'll have to see what you are getting with the Quick Patrols. Different files load for the different modes. You might be getting the game's Single Mission file, which I did not attempt to fix, and which is completely different from the Career mode... That being said, I have found old files back in the mod, which is not good... I'll look into that Balikpapan thing later today...

I tried the new skins by Vickers03, original skins in 4k. Looks really nice in FOTRSU.
Deserves a test... https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/sho...d.php?t=243178 Regards. Fitzcarraldo :Kaleun_Salute: |
Thanks fitzcarraldo! I have been checking them out myself. They are huge files though, but sure are beautiful! :salute:

I miss spoke It is the three TF going to the Marianas. 6-18-44 They are headed for the Turkey shoot. I tried it again this time in campaign mode and I am still getting the CTD upon closure of the third TF. I can make it around the first and second with no issue but when that third TF gets close CTD. You had thought this was caused by one of the DD in the third group. |
Yes, I should have said "huge SET of files in the download"... with each individual sub, I have not seen any impact on performance. The download took a while on my super-not-much-wide-band ISP connection... :roll:

Are you intersted in typos in Mission Orders and Objectives?
Maybe minor but.......
Patrolling Area A2 for required days. Receive radio message at approx. 4pm, February 11, 1942 from Comsubpac: "Proceed to Area A6 in the China Sea....." The Nav map (with circle & marker) shows B6 as the patrol area. Maybe a typo? But, Mission Objectives states patrol area E6. Does not appear to be an E6 on the Nav map. Is this too small of an error to report? |

Took command of GATO 1/19/43, with starting Renown = 5960. Spent 1600 Renown on Radars; (Highway Robbery) Renown to start 1st GATO Patrol = 4260. 5/10/43 Ended 2nd Patrol with Renown = 5245, earning 885; Spent 0 Renown, with 5245 to start 2nd Patrol 6/2943 Ended 3rd Patrol with Renown = 6585, earning 1340; Refused new Boat; Spent 960 to get new torpedos, with 5625 to start 4th patrol. 8/23/43 Ended 4th Patrol with Renown = 9,725 (had a BIG one!) earning 3,283! Spent 960 on torpedos, leaving 8765 to start 5th Patrol 11/8/43 Ended 5th Patrol with Renown = 10,352, earning 1,587; Spent 960 on torpedos, leaving 9,592 to start 6th Patrol. 12/24/43 Ended 6th Patrol with Renown = 11,669, earning 2,077 (another BIG one) Refused New Boat (2nd Time) Spent 960 on torpedos, leaving 10,709 to start 7th Patrol. After 6 patrols, and being offered a new boat twice, I still have not seen a conning tower refit. What does one have to do? If medals mean anything, I was awarded 7 consecutive Navy Crosses, then a Bronze Star, then 5 more Navy Crosses. There has not been one patrol without a medal awarded - 13 patrols; 13 medals. These are all patrols out of Midway Atoll, mostly with missions around Hokkaido, Honshu, and Taiwan, with a couple of insertions to Guam and Okinawa (that was the Gato's 6th Patrol assignment - ran into 2 IJN TFs on the way back, accounting for the large scores. I'm going to keep going in this mode, keeping the GATO, until they retire me or give me a refit. But in any case, it does not seem to fit the formula you and the Refit.pdf describe. With respect, :salute: |

So you are in the Gato, and refuse the Balao when offered, you are not then offered a new conning tower. The same thing happens the next time. You still have a new boat available - in the Balao - and refuse it again - you still are not offered the conning tower. This is what Ducimus was getting at back in 2010. It's not right for our way of thinking. If you qualify, you should be asked an either / or question such as "Do you want a new submarine, or a new conning tower?" so that you have a choice. So the only ways to get a new conning tower, is either with the new boat, or by not having a new boat available at the time you qualify, and then the game defaults to the conning tower... :salute: |
