so does anyone if weather state affects radar or sonar then? either in vanilla or in any of the mods?
ive not long purchased SH4 so i wasnt keepin tabs on any of the modding that was goin on
If you read the manual you're left with the feeling that it would be really cool to be able to get your hands and ears on some of the nuts and bolts of being a WWII sonar tech. "Abstractly" about covers it with what we get, although we can ping targets in a kinda hands-on manner that I like.

RFB is really worth following because the original modder, Beery, burned out and left it in the hands of LukeFF. Hopefully Beery looks in now and then to see how his baby is doing, because Luke shows signs of the same hard-headed "show me the evidence" single mindedness that made Beery's mod so good and so different form Trigger Maru.

And I'm a Trigger Maru fan now. Once I understood the mindset of Ducimus and why he made the choices he did, I enjoyed TM so much I never went back. Lately Ducimus has caught the realism bug and yielded to some of the complaining. When a modder loses command of his mod it's time to play taps. I'm a strong believer that a mod should reflect what the modder thinks is right and he should yield to no one if he believes he is right. Focus is the most important thing to have for a second level mod like RFB or TM. The modder's opinion needs to be the final word or he ends up chasing other people's problems when he has enough of his own. Here I am sounding like Darth GWX again!:rotfl:

Luke has what it takes. Ducimus has it too, but he's worn down. He'll be ok if he can get a little time playing the game and getting his house situation in order. Obsessive Modding Disorder is a terminal illness.
