I'm guessing they just didn't see you because you were at radar depth and it was dark; and they didn't hear you because you were in the middle of their task force.

I have not really had that kind of situation, so it's hard for me to say.

I'll look into it. I don't know why there would be much of a difference, though. None of the damage points, torp, gun, shell numbers have been changed. They only thing about this that I changed was the CrashSpeed. This was done to reduce sinkings in heavy seas. :hmmm:

I think merchants have always been very sturdy in RFB, probably too much so, but I didn't want to get into this area - likely to be long slog.

You only mention merchants. Are the warships any different?

If you want to get the ships back to RFB behavior (in terms of sinking), you can disable the mod, go into the sea folder, and then delete each ship's *.zon file. The CrashSpeed is in that file.

I've done a few tests. The results were somewhat ambiguous. These mostly involved warships, and most sank fairly quick, but there was one DD that would not go down. It was shelled into a burning hulk and didn't want to sink.

The only merchant I tested was the Hog Island, and it seemed more or less normal.

Eleven torps absorbed by a merchant is unacceptable, of course.

I'll start work on ISP 2.1.

It seems very odd that the CrashSpeed should make such a big difference.

I'll make further posts on this matter in the Mod Workshop Section.

I just uploaded v 2.1 to the downloads section, HERE.

I fixed the sinking issue, and made some other improvements as well.

I will have more information is the Mod Workshop Section thread.

I won't work with stock. There are touchy aspects with crew rosters and special abilities that would create problems. The same goes for TMO. There may be other things as well. I used RFB files as a base for my modifications.

Is there some particular reason you don't want to use RFB?

I was running the Ship Sprint Test mission and noticed that the Kuma CL was slow. Checking, I found I made a mistake. In the Sea folder:

The NCL_Kuma.sim file has a max_force of 0.00316.

.

It should be 0.0316.

.

I will upload a corrected version in a week or so. With so many ships and parameters, it is possible that there are other mistakes, and I want to wait and see if any other problems are spotted before making a new version. In the meantime, users may want to fix this themselves with S3D.

.

Also, people may notice that in the mission, the enemy ships won't attack you. This is because the mission is in 1940. It was not intended to be a tactical mission; just to show how the ships accelerate. If you want the ships to fight back, you can change the date to 1942, in the mission editor.

If you are using ISP v1.1 or v 2.0, you should be able to swap it out for v 2.1 without problems. Just make sure you disable the mods one at a time in reverse order, then re-enable them with ISP 2.1 in the order they were in before. ISP v 2.1 has the same special abilities/ crew roster features of the earlier versions, so it is ok.

If you are not using ISP, I would wait until you are in port to try it.

I've never used the "replay" feature, so I can't say anything about that.

Glad to hear it.
