weather report

Well I mean you cant use it out of the box without using a basic mod or getting a supermod. I wonder if they never put it in all the way due a time constrant or if they decided that it was not really needed and just never completed it.To me if you have no command or button to do it in stock without modding then it is not there until you can do it.True the ability for it to be used is in the stock game but unless you where a member of this site or a modder youd never be able to have it.

In a submarine, weather reports are easy. Conditions are wet. It is expected to be wet until morning, followed by more wet through the end of the cruise.

Unless you're on the surface.

Then it's only partly wet.

sorry if it sounded that way but i wasnt trying to imply i was correcting anything you said, i just wanted to give you guys that info in case you wanted to do your own version for a non supermod stock or a custom modded version of the game you might play

OK - thanks for the help. I'm currently playing stock but with real environment to make it look pretty. So that explains why I've read about something I can't find.

Sounds a bit pointless anyway since it only tells you what you can see through the scope.

But basically TMO or RFB seems like the way forward to get more features and add to the game.

So... This probably isn't the place to ask this but....

What's the difference between TMO and RFB? In a nutshell, how do I decide which one I want to get?

Stealhead · 04-23-09, 02:17 PM

No not me I have TMO 1.7 I just didnt want someone to read our posts and mistake that it was there without doing some form of modding. I can see myslef doing that

and tyring for hours to get a report. I forgot that you are the 1.4 1.5 mod guru.

people keep saying that but nothing i do is hard,

i stick with simple easy fixes and mods that dont require extensive understanding of how the game works so everything i do can be done by anyone with spare time.

many people do a dual install and play them both by clicking one or the other so you avoid the install and uninstall times

there isnt a very big difference but its more of a game style difference.

tmo is geared to be a tough game thats very realistic unless it needs not to be to keep the game hard

rfb is geared to be realistic and tries to stay within those bounds so its not as tough as tmo

rsrdc is a campaign realism mod to make ship trafic follow historic times and dates and with massively cut down on the ship traffic that you see in stock game. to find ships you have to go to the right areas at the right dates and you will find ships to shoot at but they will be fewer.

Thank you for the information

I like to use the residents of Seattle Washington method for weather prediction; When you are in Seattle, and want to know what the weather is, you simply go outside and look for Mt. Rainer. If you can't see Mt. Rainer, it's raining. If you can see Mt. Rainer, it's going to rain. I use the foredeck as Mt Rainer.
