[AOTD_MadMax]

Hello Captains,

now its time to release AOTD´s "Fall of the rsisng Sun" for SH4 V1.5 UBM Version 1.3 ( New Version from 11.12.2009 )
This version of FOTRS is an full english version, especially made for the english speakin community !

First of all we would like to mention that TMO (Trigger Maru Overhauled by Ducimus on www.subsim.com) was the base and inspiration of this modpack. Special thanks to Ducimus and all other modders for their work ! In addition we would like to note, that “Fall of the rising sun” is just a modpack and not a mod for itself. That means, that “FOTRS” is a bundle of many already existing modifications and many other new modifications made by me and my clanmates. The copyright of each modification belongs to its developer.

"Fall of the rising Sun" is full JSGME-compatible and this Version is made for SH4 V1.5 ( UBM-Version )

3.) Gameplay/AI-Settings

New flight-management is added to the fighter.
If you took the loadout "fighter" this plane will attack all ships and subs in an low level-flight with the guns.
For testing this out you can play an singlemission called "Airtest deepflight Ki44/G4M" and "Airtest deepflight Ki84/G4M"
There you see how strong planes are !

Some US-Fighters got Rocketracks.
If you wanne see what happens when they attack ships, take a look to this single-mission "Rockettest 1" and "Rockettest 2". They kick asses...............
After watching this you should be happy to drive a boat on the US-side

The Japanese Torpedobombers got new Torpedoes, They are better and stronger as the US ones.
Be carefull with them cause the G4M Betty as an Torpedobomber will shoot you to hell.
You better prepare to dive !:rotfl:
Regular the AI-Setting is harder as the stock-version.

The campaign is based on TMO but heavily reworked.
Midway is now an Submarinebase where you can start your carreer.

First, it's a big download of 700mb, and I doubt anyone can send it by mail.
Second, I would advice you not to publically post your mail adress.

[Sledgehammer427]

i hope this is also released in english, I love RFB, but i dont mind trying something different

[Gilbou]

Just tried this mod after having spent some time playing with OM.
Incredible. Love it !

The rule is the 100 fathoms rule
(1 fathom = 6 feet, it's a unit of depth used by combat scuba divers - the first water resistant watch was designed for the English Scuba Commandos, the Blancpain 50-fathoms, first ever to work under water on wrist)

[Dylan999]

Hello, new work release date?

[rein1705]

in FOTORS theres the ability to start from a new commision ether a Gato or a Balaio class. I am doing the later one where you have a balaio.
question:
the live fire torpedo test... there's suppose to be a moving target. WHERE IS SAID TARGET?!
i've spent almost all my fuel chaseing around friendly ships trying to locate this phantom ship....

[silent killer]

Thanks AOTD the mod is super, one thing i noticed was that in or near japan there are to many fishing boats,also i torped a fubuki ,it was half sunk and stiil doing 20 plus knots

[tater]

FWIW, patrol reports from near japan make it seem like it was hard to stick the scope up without hitting a fishing boat.

[linerkiller]

I have tried out that new tool yesterday....WTF that's the best SH4 mod I tried so far!!! That new ships are AWESOME!

But the RSRDC home base system ( at least for the Pearl Harbor flotilla ) remains the best...Is possible to implement it in a future patch or release?

[linerkiller]

And then...What unit is the KMS "Germania" in the German recognition manual?
Maybe a fictive Bismarck class?

[AOTD_MadMax]

@ Tater

This version of the Saratoga is the first try but she should be replaced with an origin Saratoga which is still under construction.



Also the IJN Kaga, IJN Ryujo and the cruiser IJN Tone is under construction

@silent killer

Iam reworking the campaign so the problems with the fishing-boats should be done in the next upgrade.

@linerkiller

The Germania is an fictive Bismarck-Class.
Maybe you can find her on an patrol............:rotfl:

I have to look to the RSRDC Homebasesystem, maybe i can change some things for FOTRS to bring it nearer to this system.
