A quick bug report:

The USNI gives two values for Virginia towed array arrangement, indicating in one part that the TB-29 is on the port and in another that it is on the starboard. I believe it is currently modeled on the port side.

Glad you liked my videos!

The Tb-29 is indeed on the port on the Virginia (at least, this was true the last time I played RA). It's on the starboard on the other American submarines.

TA sides are changed intentionally - ist not a bug. Its because when submarine starts with streamed TA from beginning - its always starboard. But most of players likes to start with more sensitive TA (except me) and it was changed for those players.

Quite a few insomniac nights came to a close with your calming voice in the background.

The bug is that the USNI reference lists both the port and the starboard as the location of the TB-29.

EDIT: Also you said that the more sensitive array has been switched to the starboard side because missions begin with this array streamed. This does not seem to be the case on the Virginia, as the TB-29 is the more sensitive array and is modelled on the port side.

Not really - its screen from USNI REFARENCE (ownship information)

Hmm it looks like TB-16 is always on opposite side than on hull

Virginia was added later, before that, this swithcing TB-16 / TB-23 was made for LA. For me it doesn't matter even if i prefer TB-16 than TB-23 or TB-29

Hi just back to RA after a while. A few quick questions about v1.48:
1. I saw v1.48 already has Subcommand campaign installed. Do I need still apply the SC update/patch from RA's website? Or it is redundant?

2. It seems USN destroyers and cruisers tend to wait until a very short range to engage incoming missiles. I measured the first initial SM-2 missiles were launched around 10nm. It makes it really hard for them to deal with SA-N-29 shipwreck missiles.

I think the patch you're talking about is for SC, itself? RA 1.48 is a stand-alone mod aside from it's own patch#3.

Just to be clear, install RA 1.48 to a stock install of DW. Then, add the RA 1.48 patch #3. The last patch can be slightly tricky, extract the contents of the patch file to your desktop (including the folders). Then, either copy the patch folders into the right folders in your copy of DW/RA 1.48 (say yes to over-write the folder contents) or manually add the new doctrines to each platform's folder over-writing the old ones.

It sounds complicated but it really isn't. Just make sure each doctrine file goes into the correct folder.

Keep in mind RA is still a work in progress. RA 1.48 is, IMO, the best version in the RA series but I don't think Crazy Ivan is done tweaking on it.
