yep. and speaking of that. I downloaded and activated your mod re radar range. Aside from the fact that I cannot figure out all of the dials, it made all of my Nav Map tools original size and move the clock from the right to the left side.

Personally, i try to do my own work when i can, and just cite my immediate source when i can't, and not worry too much about a mods genealogy. With some stuff, you can probably start listing names back to 2005 with the modification or principle changing hands several times. |

operation monsun. basic package.
2nd floatilla out of lorient. type 9. just like the sig. 1939. 2nd patrol. iron cross of the knight's cross medal after 1st patrol for over 40k tonnage. currently attacking a very large british (at least 25 ships) convoy near gibraltar. i was just planning on hitting the many merchants for tonnage..there are three or four escorts. turns out one of those escorts sounds a little bigger than a DD on the hydrophones... confirmed queen elizabeth bb spotted.bearing 240 degrees, crawling up,creeping along at 7 knots. 36k tonnage. i'm running silent @ 1 knot. hard to port! 4 torps fired. 2 behind the bow guns, 1 underneath the smoke stack, the last near the tower/engines. explosions like crazy. critically wounded her.sunk! currently at 68k tons and yet to complete 1st station patrol,more than half a tank of diesel,no damage,12 torpedoes left. things are going way to good. |

currently playing in jan 43 with the Narwhale out of Perth. Have 4 MOH's and a top notch crew, started in early 42 with the Whale, a GATO out from Midway. This is the farthest I've ever gone with a crew and im hopeful to finish. maybe command will grant us a Balao soon. Next patrol we'll be running to the Makassar strait for a sweep of the area. Just received a full load of mark 23's cant wait to try them out. last patrol we came in with 130,000 tones thanks to 6 tankers and a whale factory ship, even managed a DD and a pare of escorts. Wish us luck and as for you all, god speed and happy hunting.
Rein.:up: PS. FOTRS 1.3, TBT filter green, all the TMO interiors, office links etc, nav map makeover 1.1, new Narwhale 1.8.4 |
My current campaign? Just chasing ghosts in TMO 2.0...

Why it's the flying dutchman! :)
I never saw it personally, is there any way to make it appear? |

|
Wow! That's really cool!:cool:
|
I'm beginning to think RSRD removes the Dutchman as I've played this game for a few years and never seen it.

Spend some time in the Luzon Straits (also known as Convoy College)... in my case - mid 42'. It will show as a warship - but the greenish glow gives it away at a fairly good distance. |
Fresh install of TMO 2.0 100 realism
USS Trout Tambor class out of Pearl Harbor, assumed command in June 1942.First patrol was to Maple Grove off Guam, found nothing but patrol planes, managed to stay undiscovered.Then went south of Guam towards shipping lanes towards Truk, nothing but planes.I was very surprised by the lack of shipping but it happens.when down to 30 percent fuel, I turned for home after about 41 days on patrol.While sweeping north of Truk en route home in heavy seas, cloudy skies and light fog, the new SJ radar picked up a contact.We closed and spotted a faint trail of smoke in the light fog, went to GQ and ordered a dive.Target was a decent sized freighter I could tell from scope observation and soon plotted her at 8 knots.We closed at ahead standard at 85 feet to prevent broaching of sub and being spotted.When 800 yards from target, ordered 55 feet and up scope, took a quick bearing and range, then fired 3 torpedos at what was now ID'd as a Ryunn Maru(6000 tons) torpedo 3 took an odd jog to the right and would obviously miss, so fired torpedo four to replace it, just then the first torpedo exploded, then just 50 yards or less from impact, torpedo two prematurely exploded, the fourth torpedo found it's point of aim under the bridge,t he ship exploded, split in half and the two pieces sank after 30 minutes.Returned home with just 2 percent of fuel left.Next patrol is to the Aleutians, hopefully more productive. |
current campaign
I would tell you about it, but I cannot keep up with all these friggin posts.

Continued. Surabaya lost had to head to Brisbane. On the way with 60% hull damage, one forward torp lef, low on fuel. A couple of sampans but a big convoy. I had to avoid it.

My story
Unfortunately, the Barbarinna is being overhauled at Pearl. So my overworked crew and I have earned some well deserved R&R. As you know, the Navy requisitioned the Royal Hawaiin Hotel, and men from the Navy and Marines are quartered there now. We have not had much to do in the way of winning the war, but we have been keeping our morale and that of the civilians higher than a kite. Here are some shots of the locals, etc., just to let you fellows know that we won't let you down.

They have said that their government considers them goodwill ambassadros and requested that we "show 'em the ropes" in a manner of speaking. http://i553.photobucket.com/albums/j...sm24/004aq.jpg Party at Pearl in our honor. Some young ladies posed for the shots below. http://i553.photobucket.com/albums/j...lelvgren12.jpg Nimitz' oldest daughter http://i553.photobucket.com/albums/j...ilelvgren2.jpg Nimitz youngest daughter http://i553.photobucket.com/albums/j...lelvgren42.jpg Nimitz other daughter http://i553.photobucket.com/albums/j...lelvgren63.jpg Your fiancee insisted I take her to the Officer's Ball! Then she decided to hang out with the crew and party. What could we say? http://i553.photobucket.com/albums/j...lelvgren69.jpg A Navy leitutent decided she liked submariners! One of my ensigns says she is the spitting image of Bull Halsey's wife. http://i553.photobucket.com/albums/j...lelvgren86.jpg The Navy gal took us to her secret waterfall to go swimming. Her backstroke was a thing of beauty. http://i553.photobucket.com/albums/j...lelvgren90.jpg A Valentine Pic from Halsey's secretary. http://i553.photobucket.com/albums/j...lelvgren94.jpg The Barbarinna's honorary first mate! And don't get any ideas, boys. We know what you are thinking! ........ LOOK US UP WHEN YOU MAKE IT BACK TO PEARL! http://i553.photobucket.com/albums/j...Barbarinna.jpg |
