Is this normal for SH4 + Trigger Maru + Run Silent Run deep?

Furia · 03-21-08, 10:28 AM

I am about doing my 8th Patrol. I started on a Pearl Harbour boat by Dec 41.
I use full realism settings except external view (I cannot resist enjoying the breathtaking views with ROW although I do not use it for cheating, actually it is not needed) so lets say 90% realism
I was expecting inmersion and realism but I am finding the following issues.
I already got about 4 Medal of Honor. I feel flattered but I think this is totally unrealistic

I forgot to mention several Silver Star and a Purple Heart.

My AA guns are like a radar controlled Vulcan 20 mm. No enemy plane pose a threat. They are simply destroyed before they can attack. Kind of unrealistic.

Despite the game historical briefings about decisive battles, I am always being assigned to the same patrol spots some of them not very historically accurate like some patrols on the Tokio Bay or well inside the Yellow Sea in early 1942.

I almost suffered no duds lets say 1 every 10 torps was a dud. I am sure Admiral Lockwood would have been very pleased with this outcome.

The game is starting to be boring and from what I am reading on this forums it is supposed to be interesing and realistic.
It all I mentioned normal or usual?
Any clue why is this happening?

Without knowing much about your current SH4 install I will venture the following:

Make sure you are patched to 1.4

DL and install Trigger Maru Overhauled

DL and install RSRDC

then go on patrol, if you have that all installed well then.......perhaps someone else can suggest another alternative....

I am afraid I have all this installed already:

Trigger Maru Overhaul

RSRDC_P2_TM_V220 and patch

And of course the sim patched to 1.4

That's the wrong version of RSRD. There are two special versions for TMO, one for 1.4 and one for 1.5 (if you have the U-boat expansion). You'd need RSRDC_TMOv14_V370, which you can find the details on here: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=123467 .

Also, Ducimus has two "service packs" for TMO for 1.5, but as far as I know those don't apply if you you're running 1.4 without the expansion.
