I had the same problem with the torpedos. In the single missions they are very realistic based on the time of year. In the campaigns this does not occur. The error rate is still the same as when the mod wasn't applied. Every once in a while you get a dud torpedo, as opposed to fairly regularly.

I'm a realism fanatic, so this is an important mod. I need more duds in the campaign!

thanks,

Ok, so there seems to be a problem with duds in the campaing. I still haven't looked into this that much simply because I'm currently lacking the time

Volunteer testers would be great 'cause testing is the part which requires the time I do not have at the moment

I think I figured out the cause of the problem some of you are having. And did this all by just sitting on my ass right in front of this screen

So, many of you have reported that duds do not occur as often in the campaign as they do in the single missions. That's most likely because of the save.tmp file. If my memory doesn't fail me, that was the problem with bringing the lightnings back into the game. They did work in single missions but not in the campaign and this was somehow related to temporary save files.

Could anybody give more details about fixing this lightning issue? The same trick most likely is going to solve this problem too

I had to delete the entire save folder for SHIV in my game and start over from scratch after I had added the files to the game so it would read and save the changes once the game was started up again and then when it recreated the save file everything worked for me just fine.

Ok, thanks for clearing that up leovampire!

I had only deleted the save.tmp and replay.tmp files but left the save folder No wonder I didn't saw any lightnings!

But now that I know this, I'm gonna try to test this sometime during this week. I wanna make it completely sure that this solves the problem so anybody having this lacking of duds problem, do not delete your save files just yet

Add the files before You start the game again other wise deleting the save folder did nothing. The files have to be present in the game directory before it is started and a new save file is built by the game okay?!

You will notice it takes a long time for the game to load because it makes it read every file the game has in it to build a new Save folder base for the game which means there is a cache file being created for the game.
