Hi R' Robbins - thanks for the reply and kind words (and to others - I always grit my teeth on forums but people here are so genuinely nice. It really is refreshing!). It was precisely the green glow that interested me (plus an indication of the miraculous depths it could detect a submarine -
potentially 800 feet!?). It's interesting to see that that glow was perhaps lost in translation, misattributed, or even (worst case) mendaciously added some where at some stage for some reason!
I thought this capability was interesting, but also note Ducimus included it in TMO (TMO 2.5 manual page 9). I'm not sure how though.
I can't imagine any detailed simulation of the Japanese MAD capability would be reasonably possible in SH4, and also have to question it's detailed implementation noting how little (apparently) it was effectively used, though it would be interesting to learn more about it's simulated potential (noting your comments about the absence of magnetic properties within SH4). Still...
Righto, I'm off to Truk again with some slightly nuclear MK-14s!
