Feels Good...

Been a long time(year or so) since have made a patrol.Home today and weather is awful, so loaded up SH 4 with TMO RSRD plus other mods, departing Pearl Harbor on January 17 1944 in USS Guardfish SS-217.Nice to feel excited about this sim again.

Anything new I should be aware of?

Nothing beyond this mod http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=212788 by Torpx really. Sadly the thing doesn't work with TMO though.

Good to see your back.

I've made a couple tiny mods, digi camo, enabled 40mm twin (a little buggy), a nice wood or marble desk model, super cuties, certainly nothing groundbreaking though.

Thanks, I had a great career going on first patrol.Five ships down for over 30 k tons.Ran into the Yamato north of Marianna Islands, all torepedoes set at 30 feet, ran deep, but were on target, was disappointed.Then after sinking fifth ship with last four torpedoes after 35 days at sea, I was reminded why I need to finish my mod.The ridiculously weak bulkheads caused flooding and lead to loss of boat.Although my mod to keep overall hull at realistic strength worked, must find a fix for individual bulkheads, far too delicate for a tough, well built fleet boat like the Gato.
