It appears that Ducimus' Evil Planes that bomb you at periscope depth are back! Testing reveals that they don't always spot you at periscope depth. But when they do they bomb the crap out of you, accurately enough to make you cry for your mommy!
The sensor nodes for RSRD are not the same as they are for TMO. What I did was take Lurker's Air2 sensors and set same as Duci's Air MAD sensor, which was the only one modified for underwater view. And it seems to have worked. I made up a mission (De Plane! De Plane! Mission) which I will post. It makes planes pass in waves of two over your sub. I dare you just to raise the periscope. They'll bomb you anyway but you're definitely dead if you poke up the periscope.
Running with periscope up in RSRD while planes fly overhead is as close to safe as walking in the mall as war permits. With my change, it's pure death.
I'll be issuing this as a separate mod, not a modified version of RSRD. Then all you have to do is load it on top of RSRD if you want it. Merely unload it to return to RSRD as Lurker intended.
Modular modding! Who else would think of such an idea? I tried to sell the SH4 modders on the idea in 2009 and was slapped down like a puppy who just got caught peeing on the rug. This is a hybrid of Webster's original lotsa little mods strategy and the supermod strategy. I think that starting with the supermod and layering compatible modular units on top is going to work really well.
Stand by for mods!
