Ahh, I read in the RFB thread that you didn't need OTC with it, so I assumed that RFB came bundled with OTC or something similar.

Do I want OTC for RSRDC v550, then? Is that compatible with RFB too? I see there is a RFB compatible version listed as well, but that's from a very old version.

RSRDC v550 is only for the stock game, don't use it with RFB. RSRDC v575 is to be used with RFB 2.0.

I did not make a compatible edition of OTC for Real Fleet Boats 2.0. There are no editions for it. When LukeFF decided to pull out one of my older mods from RFB (Ship Centered, Accuracy Fix.... or SCAF) for the idea of intentionally throwing off measurements of height when calculating range to target, I washed my hands of RFB.

There is a compatible edition for RFB v1.4, but you apparently have the 1.5 version of SH4. Won't work.

OK, so if I want manual targeting and a major overhaul mod, my only option is TMO with RSRDC 502 and your mod?

Do you know if there are any mods which turn down the AI a little for TMO? I remember before it was a bit over tuned for my tastes, if the AI is all over you 20 seconds after putting up your periscope in the middle of the night it makes manual targeting a bit impossible.

Thanks for the help.

The latest edition of TMO 2.5 has toned down some of the sensors which were over the top. Ducimus heard the calls for a different game play, and changed things from his 2.0 version when making his 2.5 version. RSRDC v502 changes a few things too in TMO, so does OTC. I think you may find it a good combination. Much more playable than in the past, yet still keeping you engaged when compared to the stock game.
