And is there anyway I know when I'm getting the improved electric eel? its Feb 1943, and I wonder when?

Also, is there a mod for the description of each torpedo? I remember I had SH3 and on moving cursor over eel, I read warhead, reasons it was developed, etc.. general info...

Thanks guys

I know there is a mod for Colored Torpedoes in the DL section, though I don't think it turns them blk/gld. Also, I'm not in-game right now (so I'm not certain) but, I think TMO 2.0 (or maybe it's RSRDC) has my torpedo bodies black. The warheads are either copper or gold. As far as descriptions go (not sure if this is what you mean), just click on any torp in the management section and a description of it will appear in the box below. Same thing at Home Port.

I only get the speed, range, and propulsion. No notes like G7e german introduced to counter faulty depth keeping magnetic blah blah blah.... Or is it not for allied boats? BTW just got my Balao. Taking her out for shakedown. BRB

The US Dept. of Ordinance wouldn't admit to any failures, so no info was given. Sub Skippers had to figure it out for themselves, but the game does account for torp failures. Simply, it has values for failure rates, including speed or torp, angle, depth, ect...You will have more success with M14's if you shoot slower speeds, angles, ect....

You'll get the more in-depth info at Home Port.

Can see those fish on the fly here:

(and yeah i realize the submerged water color is off for dawn/dusk)

RFB uses the same torpedo mod i think. It's a "US torpedo overhaul for TMO" by Captain America if memory serves me correctly.

As an aside, I'm amazed anyone plays vanilla SH4. Personally, i can't stand vanilla. Everything is wrong with vanilla!

That, is a very cool video.

I'm a big fan of The Ink Spots and love the way their song is used when the Pirgos surfaces. I also like the view of those torpedo tubes opening before she fires on that TF. Very tastefully done video.
Oh yeah, those are the same torps alright.

Truthfully, i love that video. It gives me the biggest sense of satisfaction with TMO. Although the submerged water color being off in low light conditions bugs me. (but that's on me) If i had a youtube account id comment with a huge "thank you" to the movie maker.

That's the best Trigger Maru Overhauled commercial I've ever seen! If you can watch that and NOT want to play SH4 then you have no blood in your veins.

To be perfectly honest

, I don't think the video would've looked the same w/o TMO. I'm halfway through a full career and TMO is quickly becoming my favorite mod. The graphics alone (incredible) are enough to multiply the immersion effects to the point that I come out of a game covered in saltwater.

Great video though. I wasn't aware of this guy until you posted the link. He sure knows how to use music and text to great effect.

That was a great video. If he comes out with a feature length sequel, I'll want to pop some popcorn and make a night of it.
