Put them in various areas.Still pretty rare to run into them, esp out in open ocean like that. Trouble is they refuse to show up on US radar so often they are near you before you know are there.Makes getting into position to attack difficult as well esp in daylight. They blow up pretty nice if you hit in the bow area.

Thanks. Now if we could just get Armistead to release some of the stuff he's done my SH4 WW2 experience will be complete.(At least until I finally figure out how to mod and start making some of the BB mods work with TMO+RSRD.)

Bubbles testing a night surface attack env. I've got one more update to send him to test, if he likes it, I can send it to you or I'm sure he will.

I wouldn't call myself a modder, just a tweaker....

Which BB's mods would you like to see? I know the one for the Nagato and a few for the US. RSRD uses few generic BB entries, but you can add most BB's without adding them to traffic, just rare you'll see them. If you want them in historically, you really need to edit RSRD mis files to add them to his existing groups. For instance, he uses a Fuso in most groups for the Nagato, but rather easy to replace it with notepad.

Oh I was talking about the Playable BB mods.(Like the North Carolina one for instance.)

I ran into one in the straights that run past Singapore and panang. My narwhal spotted them first and we got a shot off their bow. It was a moonless night, 1941.

I understand what you mean about them being rare, but having them lurking out there somewhere add quite a bit to the game. How Ubisoft could have overlooked this aspect of the game is beyond me.

RSRD has jap subs roaming as well as German, just rare you run into them.

Do they shoot at you, or do anything?

Remember, I play RFB. AFAIK, the IJN subs in the inventory are eye-candy items.

They roam and only use deck guns. Thought RFB RSRD was basically the same. Most are hid somewhere in TF files as I recall.

Ok, but I tried to make a mission with subs, and they just sat there like the crew abandoned them. Shouldn't the IJN subs in the ME roster behave the same?

If i'm wrong someone will correct me but I think the ME subs are the eye candy ones.

I use TMO/RSRD, they work for me. Look in RSRD and see if you have a mis file for Jap Subs in RsRD. Mine shows the several working in RSRD. They're the standard jap sub. I quickly tried a single mission and it worked fine.

For US subs make sure you are using the "US Fleet Class Submarine", it will function but the specific classes are just eye candy currently. The Sen Toku is eye candy unless you downloaded the AI Sen Toku mod. The "Jap Submarine" and "German U boat" are AI boats that work just fine in TMO RSRD.
