thanks mate.

Now if only I can find some SP surface combat missions to go with the old Fubuki! :D

Just hunt task forces. I was damn lucky and ran into one that had a fleet carrier, 2 DDs and a CL as an escort. DDs rushed at me and got nuked, no hits suffered. I took advantage of my watchmen ability to spot the ships and "ranged" the cruiser, resulting it sank by magazine explosion. After that the carrier was an easey peacey ^^

*Edit* Also, im now packing the modified files that allows you'r watchmen and you to lock on ships at maximum range of 15km (gunners fire that far now also)

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=134073 (Black smoke mod 1.5, You gonna love it when you fight at very long ranges)

Range increased up to 15km, visual also. Hostile ships will fire from ranges 13km and closer, depending on weather conditions.

Just Put it into Mods folder and start through JGSME. If you got issues, i'll see to them. And if you got some suggestions, i'll gladly take 'em into consideration.
O right, and i increased the ammunition on IJN 5" duals, maybe i putted too much (50000 shells or so instead of 240 ^^') but since you need to fire so many salvos to even hit a carrier from 14 km range that you're gonna need them.

Thanks for sharing :up:

Eidt: Ok now I have a problem I believe it is my system not the mod itself. If I for example add black smoke, your mod about the firerange or another example the diverate mod from PE2 the game, even my PC will crash (bluescreen).
I'm using Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit on an E6600 from Intel with a 8800GTX (ForceWare 169.25) and 4Gb RAM.
SH is version 1.5 of course.
Any ideas why adding another mod will result in an bluescreen?

-Depthcharges are out of my skill:dead:
-Torpedoes can be started 0° or 180°:-?
-Haven't I added the DD sound into the *.dsd file?:doh:
-Thanks W4173R:up:
-Ishigami: I don't know why, but may u can post your problem in the support forum;)

Well, if it happens like that, you can just take the files in the rar file and copy them to their correct folders. That ought to avoid the problem.

.cfg's to -> Data/CFG
the .sim file to -> Data/Libary/Shipparts

And make backup of the following files:
Sim.cfg, CrewAI.cfg and guns_radars.sim
After that just start the game (without having the thing turned on JGSME)

Okay I'm confused about installing this.

Can someone give me easy to follow, step by step instructions on how to install it using JGSME?

I'm trying to install it but I don't see an option to play with it in the campaign (or anywhere). HELP THIS LOOKS AWESOME

First, this mod is 1.5 compabilible only.
1st install. Extract the rar folders (DD) into you'r SH4 MODS folder, and activate through JGSME.

To get my range adjustments. (JGSME version didnt seem to work)
How to install:
You can extract the contents to you'r SH4 folder, it should promt you for overwriting, and just accept it. After that is done and the DD mod is activated in JGSME, start campaing in U-boats, and select the "sub" as fubuki class.

It should be open at 1943 but be advised, i myself have crashed in 1943 June 23th 17:00 exact time several times, so i'd suggest on going the 1944 campaing.

THIS MOD IS AWESOME!!

Only one problem. I ran out of shells for the guns so I went to refit at one of the floating bases, it crashed as soon as I clicked refit. Any way to fix that?

EDIT: Did some testing. It seems that it only crashes if you have expended torpedoes and try to refit. Correct me if I'm wrong.

How do these new textures look?

is there a playable umm...cruiser with rockets that go straight into the air then hit the ship or land thing?

Rockets are not supported by the game, and the crew is currently working on the Deutchland-class Pocket battleship as the next playable ship. After that i've heard that he is gonna work on the Iowa Class Battleship.. Pocket BB ought to come out in 2 weeks or so i hope :hmm:

*edit* and those new textures look sweet! When yer gonna upload a pack that has those?

oh yes baby...can you say Commerce Raider?? :arrgh!:

I'm really looking forward to surface battles ie. BB vs BB or esp cruiser vs cruiser. :rock:

Take a look here.

Hm, seemingly there is a glitch in some of my CFG files, since enemy ships fire at 9km or closer, strange.. Also my sim.cfg has faded from my CFG Folder. I copied it back there with range readjusted to 13km aggression range.. strange:hmm:

Or then do i have that file in wrong folder ^^' i could have done such trivial mistake but i did windows search and it doesnt find it in my SH4 Data folders.. Only on my Backup folder at my desktop.

Thanks Miner, Walter and Kriller

We need guys like u!

-New version is out-
---> first post

Oh snap, i just DLed that and noticed i had putted into my own .rar WRONG guns_radars.sim ^^' (It wasn't supposed to be the 02 one), but it only had massive amount of ammunition changed to it..
I gotta fix that up for the next upload, ehheh. Well it was my first uploaded mod so mistakes happen.

But, maybe on this week i'll see if we can get some external tube storages for that ship, so our brave DD skippers wouldnt have to run to a resupply ship every day or so ^^'
