This is not an error but as intentional - there is no change within the same class... the Tench is a Balao ~improved~.

The change of an individual classes is subject to availability as follows:
S-/Porpoise --> Salmon/Sargo --> Tambor(Gar)/Gato --> Balao/Tench
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But there is a sensor patch, which fixes the hydrophone error at surface running.
The deck and anti-aircraft guns were again slightly more optimized towards reality.

It must be started a new campaign .

I'm not sure what your "error" of the hydrophone sensor is regarding an American sub at the surface?

Except for the early S-Class boats, all other American subs had their hydrophone receivers on the bottom of the hull......allowing for surfaced hydrophone use. Unlike the German's, which required the sub to be submerged.

Yes that's right. However, in surface ride was under favorable conditions only max. 5nm and from mid-1943 (WAC modified) max. 7,5nm possible.
I have the effect trying to find some compromise ... and it works.

Eh... what do you mean of "compromise", do you mean that the hydrophone is too powerful and you need to reduce the range of it, because i remember in my early war game, the WAC could detect very long range.

And what is the change of AA guns?

Yes - the hydrophone had significantly too much good properties previously at surface running.
I tried to find a compromise to be reasonably reflect reality.
It is the same with the deck armament.

We must not forget - Ducimus, lurker_hlb3, CapnScurvy and TorpX have created with their great works only SH4 an interesting and useful game, so my greatest respect.

My ModSoup is just a summary of many small modifications (also thanks to their creators) adapted to my ideas of "reality" in consideration of the game engine.

Hi, @Bleiente, I remember that in your #32 post of this thread, you mentioned that the graphics will be greatly improved by deleting the "reflex_pac.tga" in OTC. And you said that visual settings in the CFG also need to be adjusted.

So how to tweak the visual settings? do you have another patch for this?
