"Someone modded some oil tanks that can be blown up"

That was Traveller. He made some outstanding mods that are in the download section. He made the SOS for the american side do 100% destroyed engines or running out of gas could result in a call for help and be saved by returning to base with a renown deduction. He has some very clever additions to his mods.

Yeah, I used trav mod, but I stopped using it because of some bugs. 1st there wouldn't be any holes in ships after a torpedo hit. 2nd (this next problem is a big deal for me because I'm a realism fanatic) you could ram ships without taking damage. Unless there is some way to take only the files for the explosive oil tanks, I won't have those.

Basically with trav mod the not taking damage ramming is so your sub can sit on the bottom without taking damage, so what's more important to you. The code is backward, you take damage sitting stopped on the ocean floor. However, no one should be ramming ship, you do no damage to anything worth sinking, cept fishing boats and such. However, you can often find yourself flooded and can't control your dive and sink. If you're in shallow enough water, say 300 ft for instance, you can just sit there and repair instead of taking damage. It doesn't take long for damage to start piling up sitting on the ocean floor without trav. It's a more realistic factor to have in your favor, saved me several times.

However, several things about last version of trav I don't like. A few campaign bugs, hate the env and the crew ratings, seems at 80% injury, a crew member goes to zero and does nothing. I think I made this 50%, because at 80% and boat sinking, I wouldn't be in the bunk.

I liked trav 2.2 much better, just use that and add some other things I like from last version and my own changes.

Hi, does anyone know if RSRDC TMO V502 fixes the bug with TMO where u would get a tambor for an upgrade from a gato or balao (I found a bug caused by RSRDC V502 overwriting the TMO small patch. For more info come here: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=217634). Also, does RSRDC model the U.S. carrier raids from January to May,1942?
