Anyway that whole problem was caused by an issue with the Terrible T campaign, which can be fixed by downloading and activating Aanker's small patch found here: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=3506 The fix will disable the Terrible T campaign option, so if you want to try that sometime you will need to deactivate the patch.
So far as getting the Balao early, thats really not anything to do with TMO, and I understand that, its a problem with the game itself that it ignores availability dates, as well as alot of other info when it picks a boat to give you. My question is only about seeing if I can in some way "force" the game to give me a Balao class boat that for once isn't the USS Balao, or at least get it to include the SS number that it has in the roster file, like all the other boats do. I've run single missions in Balao class boats, and can't recall ever getting the Balao for one, but there are alot of other names in the roster list for that class, and it would be nice to see one in a career game for once. |
Yeah, I know about aankers small patch. I brought up the Tautog/terrible T issue a while ago and was recommended to download it which I did. I was just thinking that the thing with USS Balao might have been something similar, since it seems to be an egually weird occurence that makes no sense.
I guess we just have to chalk it up as one of the strange quirks of the original game then. I know Ducimus and other modders have tried to sort these kinds of things out as much as possible (mostly) but with the games original code being what it is it'll never be perfect.
