Missed this earlier. Comments in "Orange"
My comments are in Magenta
20th October 1944 USS Grayling (SS 209) GAR.
Equipment Loadout,
Mk14 Torpedoes, No problems, apart from the loadout problem which has been fixed
Twin 40mm Bofors AA Gun No problems, the rear gun came with the conning tower upgrade, I'd have to check my earlier posts but I'm 95% sure of it
5" .25cal Bow Deck Gun No problems, apart from the conning tower upgrade which gave me another Deck Gun
SJ-I, Improved Surface Search Radar No problems
Improved SD Radar, Air Search Radar No problems
Half Cut Conning Tower [no double-cut yet then?] Not yet, we're heading back to port and will arrive about the 5th of February 1945
SV Radar offered and refused Seems to be the only way around the SV / ST issue... sigh - they both use the same 'console set' Developer fault then
SJ Radar was never offered, I believe its been fixed in the next release.......hopefully. Dunno - seems to work fine in testing, but it did before on the Tambor / Gar Class. There are no 'requirements' for it, and it should just show up on the Gar without prompting or renown cost... a Midway file problem then.
SJ Radar never offered, ever.
I have tested through the June 1942 date at Pearl several times, and have never had an issue with being given the SJ - without prompting - the SJ radar on the Tambor, comes with no renown cost, by mid-July at the latest, usually mid-June. It might be that 'date' thing noted above on 'normal' careers. Another possibility is that you were assigned the SJ, and got a new conning tower, which would NOT have SJ, and would have had to purchase it then... Did you ever see a choice for it in the sensors list in-base? Conning tower upgrade came well after I got the SJ-I Improved Surface Search Radar so you can't blame that, the SJ radar was never offered and I checked every time I got back to port. Probably the Midway files again. Why don't you test things out at Midway?, you'll see it for yourself then.
Destroyer Escorts practically deaf, dumb and blind, needs fixing Urgently.
I quite often have trouble getting away from them. Do you have any IDs of ones that are a 'deaf, dumb and blind kid'?
Almost every escort I came across from January 1942 to late 1943, their surface radar has always been top notch though.
Torpedo Crew Promoted to at least Petty Officer and it didn't seem to make any difference to improved torpedo loading.
Nothing makes a difference in torpedo loading, other than Special Abilities. Maybe we'll test the 'expert torpedo man', whatever they call it, but keep the 'upgrade' low-key. Good idea Mr beanie, a 20% increase sounds about right. If that torpedo loading isn't working this must mean that all the promotion thingie is FUBAR as well, in future the crew can go and get stuffed.
