The last torpedo hit the U-Boat, sinking her. I saw this portrayed in a documentary, but cannot recall the source. Perhaps one of our more learned members could cite the event more accurately and completely?

To repeat from an earlier post, and not to antagonize anyone, I like the addition of the torpedoes and the added tension it brings to an engagement. No more of this feeling of invulnerability one can get from easily avoiding or sinking escorts more or less at will. I guess it depends on what you are looking for in a sub sim. I like having to use my little brain to set up an attack with another element of danger to worry about. The satisfaction of carrying it out and living to tell about it is enhanced by the addition of added danger. But that's just me, I guess. By the way, I think the torpedo factor will essentially eliminate shallow water attacks on any warship! No room to dive under the torps, y'know? :D

"Yes" HertogJan, this is like all of the old Fall of the Rising Sun mods put together (only better... :roll: ). The environment and ~all~ of the ships, plus more... There is a bearing tool already in the mod, so see if it suffices for you first. Bigger Better Protractors does function as intended, with no affects on the mod. Fingers are crossed that a v0.72 mix will be forthcoming. It will have "fixes" for the v0.71 issues that have been discovered, plus some further tweaks.

First of all I apologize with the forum for this off-topic But I do not like certain attitudes.
@J0313
Instead of sending me messages in private inviting me to "Keep your mouth shut" better you write publicly this on the forum,your thinks.
You told me that you did the war, this does not make you better or worse than the others,and above all it does not make you superior to anyone
One of the principles of democracy is perfectly explained in the sentence of Evelyn Beatrice Hall "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it"probably this concept is not clear to you.I'm sorry man.
From Verona, Italy... Ciao bello.

I'm sorry to hear hauangua that you've received PM's from J0313 that have been less than appropriate on this matter. I too have received his PM's with rude intent and obviously he has an ax to grind! It's one thing for him to PM me regarding "The Hipocracy" (his spelling not mine) of using AI Torpedoes in-game, but quite another to take it out on a player who only wants to give his own opinion....contrary to his.

You know, I didn't want to pull out my "trump card" (no intentional regard to my "beloved" POTUS), but there were 52 submarines lost during WWII. Out of those, the "Official" reason of 16 of them is classified "Unknown". The prospect that at least one of these "unknowns" could have been lost due to enemy torpedoes is just as plausible as the loss of the Corvina...….. which was indeed lost to a Japanese submarine torpedo attack. Maybe a little reading of "historical" information will enlighten the subject?

Try this "Final Patrols of the 52 Lost Submarines".

I take your frigging comment about soldiers not having reset buttons as an insult. And if you don't like it then, oh well. I sent you a PM because I wanted to tell you and scurvy what I really think about you and that would get me kicked out of the open forum. So you can deal with that as you see fit. You see you can voice your opinion without insulting other peoples intelligence with stupid comments like the one you made. I DID defend your right to do that as well as my right to tell you to keep your mouth shut.

Hey Propbeanie sorry my technical vocabulary is not up to speed with you guys. Basically on the Nav map not the attack map when I zoom in a type of bearing plotter pops for lack of a better word rose compass. I basically plot a ships course, plot an intercept course, draw a circle with my compass 1000 yd as he approaches it when I zoom in I get the plotter over my circle. On the attack map it doesn't matter none of the markings on the nav map transfer over to it. Hope this clears it up a bit. Appreciate the fast response. Like I said in the other post I'm nowhere near the level you guys are. Probably about 70% accurate with my torpedoes + or -.
