Im guessing your talking about carrier mode...

In your 'office' there is a radio on the shelf to the left of your desk.

Click on that and choose your settings there.

Dont worry alot of people miss this.

Oh and welcome back.

As far as your periscope lock is concerned, I'm betting that you're looking at the target at great distance. That happens to me too, at long range.

Let it close to within 6K to 7K yards in fairly clear weather and your lock will work properly.

Oh, and here's something I don't know... does auto-targetting even work with RFB?

Carrier mode? I'm looking at the radio options but they look exactly the same as the regular options. I don't see anything labeled "carrier mode."

I wonder if that is also true at very close ranges? I was around 1000 yards when I went to make my shot and the lock would only work for about 2 seconds. Even in manual mode, how are you supposed to work the stadimeter in only 2 seconds!!!!

Items 1. and 2. sound as if you are using the RFB mod. Those are two features of that mod.

I think he meant "career" mode.

The RFB team is working on 1 and 2. Consider them temporary annoyances to get you to try alternative attack techniques.

All the problems there are caused by the lock being released. Auto targeting likes the target to lock. Items show on the nav map if they're selected in the periscope....it's a messy situation right now but hang tight. The trade-offs are going to be well worth it.

HAHAHA!!! Career...how did I miss that!!??? You know what sucks? The RFB mod is everything I wanted from SH4....(sigh)....but I think those two hangups are gonna stop me from playing it.

For all the beauty, realism and unpredictability RFB adds, not being able to fire your main weapon is...well...a deal breaker. I guess I'll be back next year. Till then!!!
