Who plays with contacts and cams off ?

I played that way a lot, but got to where I settled for contacts on and cams off as pretty realistic. Taking a good depth charging and having no upstairs view slows you down but much more dramatic not knowing. I do recall using the scope a few times to watch underwater when in minefields D.

I agree, pretty strong realism factor with cams off and contacts on. Contacts just make it easier overall to keep track of targets etc.

I released couple depth charge mods for TMO recently, really changed things up. Tough, can kill your sub, just in a more realistic manner. Keeps damaging systems until cant stay afloat .

Actually about to tweak the mod again.

I like Trav's damage model, tho not sure all his depth charge changes but the sub itself, I loved the fact if it flooded enuf you may surface but you could easily sink back down and I loved being able to sit on the bottom without taking damage. Once I had to return to base barely above surface due to flooding. I have my disk out and plan to load up and play again soon thanks to you and will give yours a try. I also liked the fact the men became bedridden at about like 60% if injured. Course hated his env. changes but used my night mod env to overwrite it.

I play with contacts and cams on. Contacts because I have a fire control party tracking my target for me and cams because I like seeing my handy work. I don't use cams to cheat on identifying targets.

I'm not using contacts as much now that I'm using OTC and an omnimeter.

I have not used travellers mod in a while because has conflicts with a lot of my customer work, will try to merge it at some point. Glad you are getting back on patrol. Still kick myself for losing the darker nights mod you created that time.

Kind of a foolish question here, but I am wondering how I can manage my contact and cam settings while running TMO. I know that TMO overrides some settings, so before starting a patrol, what would I tweak? The main menu options individually, or the difficulty selection when starting a new career?

Sorry if this is obvious, I am just a tad unclear on what menu switches actually "work" when a super mod is controlling so many game parameters behind the scenes. Thank you!

Side note: any way to turn free/external camera on during a campaign which began with it turned off?

All your difficulty settings can be changed during a career whenever you're in port. Just select the radio on the left side of the screen to bring it up.

Thank you! This helps a lot.
