A sneak peek at what the next RFB update/patch will bring:

Quote:
-Changed default heavy deck gun AA armament on IXD2
-Adjusted hydrophone performance characteristics. The speed of the target now plays more of a role in max range at which a target can be detected.
-Go Back command for radar and sonar views takes player to conning tower view.
-Adjusted damage zone modeling for Japanese sampans and fishing boats.
-Re-enabled map contacts.
-Changed 10.5cm deck gun ammo loadout to 200 HE rounds.
-Changed 37mm AA gun loadout to 2500 rounds per gun.
-Fixed problem with 10.5cm deck gun sound.
-Added six empty planesmen slots to the control rooms for all American boats. Two enlisted men from each bridge watch should be placed here when the boat is submerged.
-Changed introduction date of H-6 radar for H6K, H8K, and G4M aircraft to September 1944.
-Changed max range of H-6 radar to approximately 12 miles.
-Max ranges for all American subs is now based on the sub carrying fuel in their main ballast tanks (S and Tench classes already had this feature). The new ranges for the rest of the subs is as follows:

-Porpoise: 22,000 miles @ 8 knots
-Salmon, Sargo, Tambor, Gar, Gato, Balao: 15,000 miles at 10 knots

-Adjusted default surface speeds for all boats (credit to virtualpender for finding the info) as follows:

-Fleet subs: 6, 12, 15, 18, max speed for class
-S boats: 3, 6, 9, 11, max speed for class

-Dive times for all American boats re-calibrated to the historical standard surfaced speed as follows:

-Fleet subs: 15 knots
-S boats: 9 knots

-Changed acceleration rate for submerged American subs to equate to approximately 4 knots/minute.
-Added Gato interior mod by vickers03.
