You just have to try it and make yourself a judgment.
However, I think that it will hit your nerve...

Try Ralles and mantain dry your shoes. Best for TMO plus RSRDC.

check this out....IJN captain became confused and thought he was Noah....parked is Taiho-class carrier on top of a mountain on saipan.

Eye Alter - der Fehler liegt eindeutig bei Dir.
Du hast mein ModPack nicht ordentlich auf ein sauberes und neu installiertes SH4 V1.5 integriert.
Solche Fehler sind nach knapp 3Jahren gänzlich fremd.
Eindeutig Bediener-Fehler.

I have made this ModPack extra, so that no one is confused with this great variety of mods ... it should make things easier for the players.

you are correct, my friend. i am still playing TMO+RSRD.

however, the reason for the ship-on-the-hill is due to an Ubisoft issue, not a mod issue. it is a well-documented fact that when a RGG spawns in close proximity to a land mass, even an island, ships will spawn onto land and not be able to move off. that is exactly what happened here. i arrived on the scene and an IJN task force was near the island port as a RGG and when they spawned, voila, ship on sie land.
my Noah reference was a lame attempt at some gallows humor with my fellow SH4-gamer-captains.
Du sollst lachen, nicht war?

Actually, that was a top-secret "weapon" - a decoy, used by the enemy in an attempt to lure you closer in toward shore for the local fisherman to surround your boat and be able to throw dead flounder at you. If you had higher-power zoom, you would notice that it is nothing more than painted plywood. A trick they learned from the Americans as they were preparing for Operation Overlord...

Actually, that phenomenon can happen in stock, or any of the mods, if the "author" of the files isn't careful, as you've seen in FotRSU... If a group is routed over land anywhere in its journey, it'll be fine, so long as you aren't within the "spawn range" when they cross it. While in the digital netherworld, no issue, but as soon as they have to spawn, "crunch" - obstacle, and "collision detected". You should have seen Truk about a year ago in FotRSU...

Huch - I see that now.
Once again I was excited for nothing...

p.s.:
"Duckman" - I like it.

actually, this occurred a year before Overlord...so it was the Americans who copied the IJN! bwahahahaha
i still like my original theory...that an IJN skipper parked it up there.

seriously....yes. i remember experiencing that previously at various times in more mods than FOTRS-U.

well....we americans like nicknames and i, being typically american, made a nickname from your nickname. i couldn't call a fellow captain, lead duck, so duckman was the first alternative that popped into my head.

if i have offended you then i am truly sorry. it was done out of comradely jest.

I really like it.

playing TMO+RSRD has presented a situation which i have not encountered previously, that being MINES.

having played more modern sims such as 688(i) and sub command, boats had more sophisticated sonar with mine detection capability. however WWII technology does not have that capability, so how in the H do i detect the presence of mines? (where is the GD high frequency sonar mod?)

i have performed the due diligence searches and found some neat comments on dispensing mines and using mines as defensive weapons, but nothing about detection and evasion.
thoughts? comments? experiences?

One "cheat" is to partially put the periscope up in suspected mine-infested waters. Of course, it has to be daylight, and enough light coming through for you to see either the cables/chains and/or the mines themselves. Same with the anti-submarine nets. Only problem? Seeing them in time to be able to either stop, or change course enough to miss them. Don't forget also, that quite a few US boats disappeared without any corresponding IJN or IJA reports of ASW activity, which leaves only a diving mishap, circle runner, or more likely, a mine. It's best to avoid the areas, or get one of the new sonars, which is late in the war. Some WW2 subs did participate in minefield mapping... - Go and be careful

Well then first play my delicious Soljanka.
Where do you actually want, that you have even got into such a minefield?!?

nice idea but one cannot see very far underwater. i think that is by design.
ok, well, if i am on my own then i will just have to do what Cary Grant and Glenn Ford did.

Es redet wohl nicht mehr mit mir - na warte nur ab... ich komme!!!
