Absolute garbage of a mod and game, along with all Silent Hunter games. Game engine in all games is riddled with bugs that make them unplayable since you never know when you will get a CTD and a corrupt save that will throw to the bin hours of effort and valuable time.

I played SH3, SH4, and SH5, all of them vanilla and with megamods (GWX OneAlex, FOTRS, TMO, and TWoS) and it's the same ### thing in all of them. Stupid AI and an extremely long list of precautions that you have to take in order not to corrupt your save files. Don't save near AI, don't save submerged, don't ALT+TAB, yada yada yada yada yada yada. A bunch of unacceptable ritual-like requirements to achieve something as basic as keeping your save files ok. What a load of ###.

Silent Hunter games are absoulte trashcan material, with and without mods. The other option out there is UBOAT but it doesn't give a ### about realism and the UI and crew management is nightmarishly complicated.

Guess it will be years before we have a minimally decent sub sim.

i understand your frustration, enrique, because i, too have had difficulties with TMO CTD's, but i must agree with Jimbuna on your post.
Here is a snippet from the forum FAQ page:

Acceptable language & graphics, topic spamming
Please use language that you would use around your mother. No vulgarities, obscenities, hate speech, or foul language. Do not use *******ing w*rds with aster*cks, that's the same thing as vulgar languge. Express yourself with respect to others.
No graphic images of people murdered, blown up, dismembered, or similarly ripped up. If you must, you can use a link to the image and include the warning "Graphic image warning".

No pornography at all. This is an instant ban offence. Any images with nudity are prohibited. Images in swimsuits or original war-era art are ok, as long as there is not any clear nudity. Always stay on the conservative side if you have any doubt. This forum is family safe.

Please do not engage in "topic spamming", where you post several threads on the essentially the same topic in a short period of time. If you want to discuss women's synchronized swimming, fine; start a topic on it. But don't start another topic on women's synchronized swimming clothing, women's synchronized swimming schedules, etc. for several weeks. Same goes with threads on politics, religon, and cultural issues. We don't need six threads on "Obama is ruining America" and eight topics on "Arabs are Evillll!" on the same page.

maybe it is time for you to play a different sub simulator. one that will not frustrate you as this one does.

there are so many appropriate replies that can be made here....and every one would be inappropriate.

I've drawn a mission to photograph Cape St. George, near Rabaul. However, there's nothing to lock on to in order to activate the camera icon, just gun batteries and a lighthouse. Is this mission un-completeable?

[propbeanie]

Is this the one you have?




That would be the one that has 3 CV in the bay south of Rabaul, in the shallows, and behind sub nets & minefields... the ships are date dependent, and if you get the mission when they are not there, definitely not completable...

Nope, it's Cape St. George, on the southern tip of New Ireland. The mission text reads to "photograph enemy installations on Cape St. George", but there are only gun emplacements and a lighthouse. Nothing to lock on to.

Hmmm... That might be an FotRSU mission Bubbles borrowed... I might be able to find that one. Hang-on...

Edit: Nope, never mind. The FotRSU missions are a couple of Insert / Extract missions, not photograph...
