Planes are starting to annoy me

[Rockin Robbins]

If you'll read the infamous "readme that nobody reads" for TMO you will read that very occasionally, not "often", planes can sight you below 100'. The situation is very clearly explained and the modding tradeoffs made known. My personal opinion is that Ducimus' Evil Airplanes, without modification of frequency or sensors, is the greatest single achievement in modding SH4.

Please keep in mind that TMO is not about reality at all. It is about challenging gameplay. In this case, Ducimus has achieved both. The sub captains were also annoyed by airplanes, so I have to give TMO a medal for achieving that realism within the game. Frustration is part of the spectrum of things that need to be simulated in a serious simulation of World War II submarines in the Pacific Theater. Sounds like you're getting the full experience. That's a solid gold success in my book. Too bad it's so easy to change it and ruin the experience.

Also, it you'll follow my procedure for dealing with these evil airplanes you'll see that there are LOTS of airplanes that show up on radar that do not pass overhead, or even close enough to detect you. All observations to the contrary are just wrong.
