[REL] Trigger Maru Overhauled Update BH

[Captain Wreckless]

Do you know if it is possible to change settings on a reply to contact/position reports?


When I do either I get an instantaneous reply which is unrealistic. It seems it should have at least a minimum delay of 1 hour. I've just started looking through the game files but haven't found anything yet.

Contact reports usually take about 5-10 minutes for me. The status reports give instant replies which I dislike as well. Stock thing, always been like that.


I'm not sure about how to change that, but its on the to do list. ill ask around

Yeah, Contact reports do take longer, forgot about that.



Well Capt. James T Kirk and his crew confronted the Kobayashi Maru and sent her to the bottom without cheating along with an accompanying TK.

Haha nice That's a nearly 10000 ton freighter if I recall. Blows up a little too easy though from what i've seen, want to fix that.

When I was renaming ships I used some resources with named tonnage etc of real japanese ships sunk by submarine. If I recall, there was a Kobayashi Maru sunk in WW II. The name, of course stuck out because of Star Trek, but believe that is why I used it.


In forthcoming version I have renamed nearly all the merchants again, as well as adjusting the tonnage to be more in line with japanese merchant marine. Cloned some ships and tankers, renamed them, changed few things up so we have a larger variety of merchant targets and don't automatically know ships tonnage etc after naming it. lol Always was a big problem with SH 4 for me, not enough variety of ships.

Did a little testing in forthcoming V2.0 of the TMO Update. While the engagements of the Battle of Leyte Gulf are all scripted in the initial update released in September, they do not engage at distances of V2.0, as that was prior to the changes made which allow more realistic engagements.

Anyways, its quite interesting to watch things unfold, get into the middle of it. This was a test career, testing the battle in the campaign mode. In a regular career, would be interesting to find your sub in middle of it, try to assist the CVE's.

Some screenshots and details at link below.

Ran into a small convoy, merchant and patrol boat escort and put 3 fish into the Koboyashi Maru again before I was sunk. She must have cloned herself or had a twin.


Is there a way to look at the log of ships sunk outside of the game? Got almost 30K sunk, before I sank.


NVM, I found a program to do that.

lol Yea, that ship likes to spawn in the random groups somewhat often unfortunately. SH 4 will find particular ships it likes to spawn and sometimes do them a bit too much. Just consider it one of a class of large merchants . KOBAYASHI MARU class lol.


Ahh. How did they get you? depth charge? This in the S boat in Aleutians?

S Boats, are kind of death traps now, bit more reflective of their limitations etc. . I made a lot of changes to them, they were like deep diving tanks before lol.


Well it won't count your tonnage sunk on patrol you were killed, because you did not make it back to home port, so game doesnt update the list but can go to the Documents/SH4 folder/cfg/savegames/Insert Name of Save here/Careertrack

Scroll down you'll find entries like this:

[CareerTrack 1.CareerStatusSave 16]
ID=ID
Reason=CSS_UnitDestroyed
NameDisplayable=_JP Big Old Split Merchant#2
CurrentDate=1942-08-19 08:58:00
LocationName=
Location=0,3.68147e-039
TargetLocation=-5.42741,9.76705e-043
UnitDestroyed=KLSSHansa,_JP Big Old Split Merchant#2
EUnitType=102



Now I am in July 1944 now and it goes back whole career.

Think is it does not call them by the "Maru" names, so in order to know what are talking about, pull up the roster, go tino TMO Data/Roster/names...youll see a bunch of ships names and their actual names, you could ctrl+f and type in KOBAYASHI and it will show you the names, so you can match the names to see the ships. That will will also tell you, your total tonnage etc at the top
