Hi Thomas,
>>>Those damage textures look nasty. In a good way

.
Good that you can't see the other side...
>>>Do you change your skin on midpatrol ? It doesn't look icy anymore :hmm:
nope, just switched to this rusted skin as BdU throws me all over the place and icy skin was cool and realistic only for deep north
>>>I was going to test the lrt mod asap but I'm still on patrol and can play for hours without getting to an end. Some stupid convoy escorts make me work hard to get near any of their freighters and I am currently making the third attempt now.
If you don't have any damages try it, want hurt you! Also the DDs are not that hard but minutes ago I had my first rocket attack, took me a while to understand but it was too late, good he missed...
>>>EDIT: Looking at your last screenshot I have another question: Does the LRT mod disable the compartement status bars ?
Yes, you just need to check on your crew. Actually if you get max efficiency you'll see a slight piece of green bar but that's hard to archive when playing realistic (the crew model in LRT is very ok!).
