Magnetic is actually fairly reliable (compared to the Allies) early on in the war since they work almost flawlessly in calm weather/seas. I tend to use slow settings and fire under 3000 meters. Ideally 1500 or so, but that's not always possible.
Contacts initially have a really high dud rate, even under ideal conditions. You can extend your torpedo effectiveness, and thus supply by compensating with magnetics set just below the keel depth of your target. Contacts seem to work best by minimizing their depth to the bare minimum due to the curvature of many ship hulls. Torpedos start to become much more reliable after Operation Weserübung (Norway), though contact still has some problematic dud issues until around 1943 iirc. |

Umm.. So just to be clear. I installed OM without OMEGU. Now i dont know how OpMon works without OMEGU but im assuming OpMon keeps the old loading screen and intro when loading sh4? I also have no sound mod its all regular american voices etc.. Is this right?? OMEGU changes all the loading screens and environments and voices right?
I have all OpMon mods (OM 705, 720, patch 2 and 3) and only OMEGU v410 plot pkg installed... |

Just wanted to pass along a giant thanks to Lurker, and the rest of the folks who have contributed parts to the OM/OMEGU, incredible addition to SH4. I'd messed around just a tiny bit with earlier versions of OM, but my heart was always really with the USN in the Pacific. I knew that OM/OMEGU had been growing by leaps and bounds, but now that I've been fully immersed in playing an ATO for a few patrols of a campaign, I'm stunned by the entire virtual world you've created. To say that what you've accomplished doubles the play value of SH4 is, quite simply, a vast understatement, without even considering your other grand achievement in RSRD.
In my 'productive' hobby time (as opposed to my play time), I build modules for playing board wargames via the various online means available. Though I also often enjoy that work for itself, it is still work, with all attendant frustrations that somtimes pop up. The satisfaction of successfully completing a project is nice, but the best part to me is getting just a few 'thank you's", even anonomously, from folks who are deriving satisfaction from the work. As is charateristic of the Subsim community, those "thank you's" and appreciation for your work have been plentiful on these pages. Adding mine to the list is the very least that I can do. Anybody reading this that hasn't yet taken the plunge into the ATO with SH4, and who has the slightest itch to do so, DO SO! Not only won't you be disappointed, you'll probably be hooked. |

JSGME says OMEGU's installed but i stiil get the old U-boat missions loading screens and and American voices.
Im getting a (not responding ) message in the title bar of JSGME while enableing but, after a while it shows up in the enabled list. Not really sure if its installed or not. Oh and I only have OM and OMEGU installed.

Perplexed
Is there any immediate way to know that OMEGU has installed correctly?

Ah hah! I have it now. Thanks. My problem was that I copied the main OMEGU v 3.00 folder into my MODS folder. I didnt realized that you have to open it up first and grab the actual OMEGU v3.00 folder (its in there with a bunch of other mods, ah hah!) and copy that into your MODS folder, then enable. Duh!
Hope this helps anyone else who might have done this. Holy smokes man, what a mod! Thanks for this one. I'm about to have a freakin blast!
