Thanks, I didn't think about the crew being deaf... I mean fresh.

Unfortunate I have had some that for whatever reason were very deaf. Its a real pain, but if you are patient get them a shorter cruise while still sinking some tonnage you can get back to port and that helps with experience and you can trade a few in for better folks. Its a maddening challenge at times but warts and all its what we have.

@ Lukeff, I saw where you moved slots from Hogan's Alley to the control room. Is this a major mod or can it be done by an individual such as myself? Also, while watching Rockin Robin's targeting tutorial it shows a projected bearing line for his torps. Is this something that was removed in the mod? Thanks for any help.

I could be wrong but I believe the tutorial was done while using Trigger Maru. RR can you clarify please.

I just want to say thank you to the RFB team! I hated the American campaign and rarely played it. It was just not for me. RFB 1.5 gave me some enjoyment in the US campign but, I never got into it even with that. There was just too many things that annoyed me. I am a believer that even small changes can go along way. In OM720 with the new loading screens and other backgrounds that really stuck out at me as a major change.
With RFB 2.0 I am in love with the US side!
The torp textures helped alot and there are many changes that I enjoy and can not list, but the thing that won we over other various major/minor changes is the new SOUNDS!!

The engine sounds are amazing, I am here in my dorm with my 530 watt sound system cranked all the way up just enjoying the diesel sounds!!!

So for changing the US side in any ways you did I say thank you!

It's a little bit tricky to get all the parameters correct, but don't worry, this feature will be in the next update for the mod.

LukeFF, here are the details: On patrol in the Makassar Strait in porpoise class sub. May 6, 1942. Come upon medium old composite freighter at 119.15 E and 0.31 N. Weather is very hazy. Green crew doesn't spot target until its too close to set up for torpedoes. Engage deck gun. First five shots cause noticeable hole damage at waterline. Next 90 rounds cause no noticeable damage. Freighter comes to halt and water begins to lap onto deck. Fire three torpedoes with hits and explosions for each. No damage to ship. Fire six more torpedoes - all hits - but no damage. Freighter now actually sitting higher in water. All torpedoes on port side. No crew visible on ship - did they abandon ship signifying ship is sinking?

This is the second time I have encountered an unsinkable ship. The other time was in RFB 1.5. Mentioned situation to my wife and she said it was too bad you didn't work on the Titanic.

@Hydra,

Looking at your active mod list I cannot help but think that some of those are hosing elements of RFB 2.0. There is so much integrated into RFB.

I now only run RFB 2.0, the patch and RSRDC and its patch and thats it. It also makes the process of bug hunting much easier since you do not have to suspect some unfortunate interaction amongst the list of mods. It just my own 2 cents and for what its worth.

Happy Hunting!

You very well might be right, but why would the mods affect only certain ships at certain times? I have been playing with no problems for awhile. Sank four ships on last patrol. Its strange how this seems to be so random.

My guess at this point would be that the zones.cfg file has been overwritten by another mod. That file is the heart of the sinking mechanics model RFB employs.

Thanks Wilcke, you were right. I had saved the patrol with the target ship several hundred yards in front of me. i removed the EAX sound mod, went back to the game, and the ship was still there. I removed the RFB2 different smoke mod, went back, and the ship was no longer there - just debris and a life boat. I have not done any further patrolling yet to see if this solves the problem. Hope to do so soon.
