Submarine

I've taken a look at what's changed within these four files (using the tool WinMerge) compared to "1_TriggerMaru_Overhaul_2-5"; plus the differences when adding "RSRDC_TMO_V502"; then the differences between "1.5_Optical Targeting Correction 031312 for RSRDCv502".

I can tell you without a doubt, the "TMO 2.5 Small Patch" is useless after adding RSRDC v502 to the mod list:

1_TriggerMaru_Overhaul_2-5
1_TMO_25_small patch
RSRDC_TMO_V502
RSRDC_V5xx_Patch1

The RSRDC "CareerStart.upc" and the "Flotillas.upc" are vastly different than either TMO's or the Small Patch addition. Having the Small Patch added after RSRDC would only break RSRDC. To what extent....I don't know. But, the files will be changed. I ran the game using the following mod list:

1_TriggerMaru_Overhaul_2-5
RSRDC_TMO_V502
RSRDC_V5xx_Patch1
1_TMO_25_small patch

The Campaign game started Dec. 8 1941 (RSRDC starts Dec. 6 1941), stating it's at Pearl, yet the game unfolds your sub sitting in Midway Harbor. Your home base is indeed at Pearl, yet the game has you starting at Midway. What happens after this is any one's guess.

Actually, the differences between the small patch and OTC files are fairly minor....I was going to suggest to just copy and paste the small patch "Submarine/NSS_Tambor.upc" and "NSS_Tench.upc" into OTC's files. But, after seeing the differences between RSRDC and the "small patched" TMO "UPCData/" files.....it would be no cake walk to correctly merge the files.

As a side note, I don't see where the conflict of the above mods could cause the A-Scope Radar to not work.

As was said by Sniper297:
"The radar defaults to focus instead of sweep - if you change from one console to the other, the sweep shuts off and you have to click it to restart". Could be the only reason for it not to appear to work.
