What navigator are you using? The link works fine in Edge. Not in Chrome. You can download the mod without be a paying member.

Try with Edge, you can download the full mod if you didn´t download too much from SUBSIM in one day.

Best regards.

It works with Firefox, too. No idea why it doesn't work for Chrome, but...

More adventures of "never seen that before," I've found more German merchants off the east coast of the Philippines.


I managed to torpedo an I-201 class Japanese submarine, too. It was toodling along all fat, dumb and happy in the day time. They finally saw my periscope right when I fired, but I was only 800 yards away and they come about as poorly as my Tuna does, so...

Hi for some reason during my Australia S-42 after returning to port and getting an "your ship is getting refit with a 20mm AA gun" for some reason the deck gun crew just vanishes. I have had a a look around but none of the solutions fix the problem.

Try another browser, and/or 'whitelist' subsim dot com in your firewall. Notice this dialog at the top of the downloads page:



Post back and let us know if you have trouble still.

Frequently I'll run into a couple of them, traveling in a little pack for my convenience. In the past, I haven't really thought much about it, but it really is letting me play the game in super easy mode.

Is this standard for FOTRSU? Is there a way to bump up the number of escorts?

Mod-wise, I'm running FOTRSU 1.8 and the Fleetboat interior mod, with nothing else.

What dates are you encountering the unescorted merchants? What dates was the Tang sailing in the book you read? FotRSU has mostly singles, with a chance for doubles or more early in the war. You will still find a few convoys then. As time progresses, you see fewer and fewer unescorted singles, and more and more escorted convoys. You might also find groups of 2 or more DD-type ships out looking for submarines. Actually, they're just traveling from one end of a run to another to catch the next convoy for escort duty... with that said:

Unescorted, of course...

Did you empty the Save folder (defaults to C:\Users \UserName \Documents \SH4) before playing the modded FotRSU game? If you did not empty the save folder, then you have the Stock game mingled with the FotRSU mod. I ask this because FotRSU has one German "Troopship Modern Class" sailing east of Mindanao late 1942 to mid 1943 (with just a few in the mod), sometimes with a freighter, but also the possibility of an escort. Odds are usually an escort. They are going from Japan to western New Guinea. So if your install and activation are good, and the time frame is right, you got lucky again. There were convoys that ended up without escort due to missed rendezvous points, or ships sunk or whatever, plus it might be a straggler. Never look a gift horse in the mouth - just sink it and look for more.

The deck gun crew disappeared with an AA gun upgrade?? Can you tell us what date it was that you came back to port, and which port it was? Can you also run JSGME, use the "Tasks..." link in the middle of the app, then click the "Export activated mods list to -->" and use "Clipboard" to paste it right away into your next post, or "Text file" to copy that later and post it in the next reply you do here. If it is your deck gun crew missing, there is the "NewColetrainsAndOthersDGfix.pdf" file in the Support \HowTo folder of the modded game that can walk you through editing the Save files to get your gun crew back. Remember that in the future, the Green circles around the ports are where you'll encounter the "busy" area. The red circles are about where the game will ask you if you want to dock. Somewhere between the green and red circles, you should make a Save of your game, using a new name, so that you have something to fall back to if you run into this again. It is always a good idea to put your gun crews back into the Damage Control team slots, or wherever you got them from, prior to docking, so that you do not lose them. Sometimes the game will put them back there automatically for you. But if you have lost the slots they go in, you'll need to do that "repair" noted above, or fall back to a previous Save. That, unfortunately, is the nature of the SH4 beast...

I'm awful at explaining things so here's a recording of what's going on.


I only have these mods.

100_FalloftheRisingSun_Ultimate_v1.8
Nihon Kaigun v1.3a_FotRSU
Nippon_Maru_v1.9b_FotRSU

I did google and see the topics saying delete the string AdditionalRepository but when I searched the save file AdditionalRepository didn't exist at all?
