Thanks a LOT Tater.

Great stuff

It's in the 1st page readme, but I also messed with patrols a little. I dumped every single spy mission that seemed absurd, and a few that seemed absurd after some thought. China, sure, I can see that. Japan? No. Not ever.

There's a small amount of traffic in the Marshalls and Gilberts now. Reefs, too, watch your TC, those shallow areas in the middle of noplace might kill you.

Turn the volume down in case you get the sub net roar, lol.

Tater, you need to check the campaign start dates for 1943. When I clicked on two of them (June and the one after it), the game kicked me out to the desktop.

tater · 07-16-07, 09:39 PM

doh!
I hadn't tested since 1.3 had the taihosan issue.

uninstall the mod, go into the folder, and axe the UPC folder inside data (whatever it's called---not campaings, not roster, not sea).

that will use the default. otherwise stick to 42, 43 is weak anyway

Fixed that CTD issue.

Luke, I looked at the harbor traffic, and I don't see any aussie CAs at all. I'll keep looking.

They're probably listed as British CAs, instead of the more relevant Australian ones.

tater · 07-17-07, 05:03 PM

What ports? Seriously, I saw USN CLs and CAs, but nothing else.

Brisbane for sure, and possibly Fremantle.

tater · 07-17-07, 05:15 PM

Hmm, I only touched the US harbor traffic mission (which has australian ships for sure), wonder if there others...

What, V0.71??

Damn you're quick

tater · 07-18-07, 09:31 AM

CTD fix for picking start dates. little if anythign else changed, I've been working on the '43 files, and I work on non-zigzagged versions to they are ready, then I ZZ them.

Tater--

Been playing your campaign. Chased a task force for 7 hours (game time thank heavens

). Kept making marks to work out a base course and got ahead of them with my 3 knot advantage. Dove and they came into view. Everything set up great--the carrier was meat on the table. Until the whole formation zigged again and put me out of range. Surfaced to try again but the sun came up and the planes drove me down.

Anyway--your campaign causes me serious issues--I was crying like a wee baby. So it goes without saying that I love it so far! Great Job and Thank You!

Peto

PS--even though the Task Force was cooking along (18 knots I think) the escorts maintained station well. If anything they were a little less predictable (which is a good thing). I'm hooked.

Two Fubishi (whatever) Destroyers took my sub out in shallow water west of Borneo as i tried to make the switch to the southern Sub Base after Manilla was off limits. I should say 1 Destroyer got me. Shot the first as both were travelling in line back to Tokyo. Second took a hit midship but second torpedo failed.

Sat on seafloor repairing massive flooding but that second sub kept homing until finally canned my sub.

Using Natural Sinking Mechanics 2.2 works well. Makes it more realistic. It used to be sort of zany how fast ships went down. Now it's great to see the Battleships rolling over like is typical in real naval battles.

I should have went to port after sinking two Battleships and two heavy Cruizers west of Borneo. Lots of warships are over there during the Borneo invasion soon after Dec 7th.

One thing i suggest to MODDERS is making the large capital warships speed on out of any area that's under sub-attack. It was kind of foolish the way they mill around offering themselves up. But it could be that was due to rookie crews onboard. There was only one destroyer escorting those 4 big Caps as well. But if this is a randomization that's fine too. Naval battles resulted in all sorts of surviving fleet configurations.

I'd make all Battleships have elite crews. Carriers too.

This game is great fun even when sunk. Just teaches tactics. Never engage Destroyers in shallow water! I have not played that much yet to pass that learning stage. Been mostly modding the perfect set of MODS together.

tater · 07-18-07, 09:25 PM

The 2 missions representing the japanese southern advance are very little touched so far in my campaign. It will take some work since to properly up the speeds, etc, I need to redo all the waypoints. The stock invasion forces tend to park pretty far offshore and mill aorund at 1 knot. If I do something like that, I want a coordinated DD screen to run around them. Haven't decided how exacty...
