All your fiddling with the files are much appreciated Mr beanie, if I knew anything about this game I'd get stuck in and give you a hand but I don't so I'll continue being a PITA from the side lines.

CTD - it's not just a job

I keep forgetting to ask this of all of you:
Has anyone been driving an S-Boat, either an S-18 or S-42 Class around the end of July and beginning of August 1942? Anytime after August 1, 1942 when you dock at your home port, your boat should automatically (eventually) go from the original 4" 50 cal deck gun to the 3" 50 cal deck gun? Any issues at that time with it, or maybe later in the career? We have only had one report of that, and several tests have not confirmed. Thanks. |

Hey folks, FORTSU destroyers sometimes not only just randomly drop their depth charges without pinging me first, but also when they're still about 700 yards away or more from me. Is this the intended behaviour? In GWX3, the destroyers at least always try to pass over me first. I'm confused . I was below thermal layer when it happened though.

DD of all nations would just randomly drop depth charges. Often, it was because they were afraid of the submarine, but other times, they did it to scare the submarine into making noise by going to Ahead Flank. Also, they don't need to ping to drop. If you make enough noise, the hydrophone will work just fine, thank you very much. But being below the thermal layer would have a tendency to confuse the sonar / hydrophone operators, since the layer will at the least "bend" the sound of your submarine, making it to where it sounded like you were where you weren't... and other times, the layer would "reflect" the sonar signal, and make it bounce off into nothingness. So they can probably hear you, but can't locate you. Come back up to PD though, and let them see your scope, and they'll find you quick enough...

I just tried it again, and there is nothing wrong with the link. At the top of the download page, by this symbol and text:
If you are experiencing trouble downloading, it could be due to an ad-blocker or extension in your Chrome browser. Try whitelisting www.subsim.com in your ad-blocker extension, or switching to Microsoft Edge browser or Firefox to complete the download. Thanks. Make certain that your browser is letting you do the download. Also, be certain that you have not run afoul of Downloads and daily allowed download amount, which is the main reason for the "Slow Down, cowboy!..." messages. Edit: Alright dex, where did your post go?... lol Last edited by propbeanie; 03-23-21 at 05:35 PM. Reason: Has anybody seen dex? |

in TMO, three and sometimes four escorts will circle the area where they detect you. then one escort will dash in for a DC attack while the other two or three sit back, positioned at various angles, listening for you to dash off in a reaction to the DC attack. then a different escort picks up your sound pattern and then executes the maneuver again, and again, and again, until you are sunk or you have managed to out-smart them and sneak away. i refer to it as the Circle of Death, because if you get caught in it, well, you are probably dead-sub-sailing.

Was a task force I reported on not long ago, that I had the DD/DE's... milling about, with a couple of them nearby to where I was.. (while the big boys, froze up on the spot... whilst the merchie's, beat feet from the area... ) took a bit of doing, but.. was able to get out of the area, while only incurring some minor slap & tickle damages... & there was like.. 6 to 8 of them pesky suckers, a-huntin' for lil' ol' Me... I did manage to sink 1 of them pesky suckers (using a cutie no less... ) Those are worth grabbing a couple of, by the way... don't even have to be @ peri depth to launch 'em... All I can say is, it pays to keep a cool head & NOT go into full blown panic mode. M. M.

Re: Question... patrol orders... ???
Ok, something I noticed that seems... a bit off, with the orders I received from HQ... On the map, it shows the area marked by a Star, as being off to the NE of Saigon... YET... the orders in the letter, state to do the insertion, off Penang. So... which is it..? Saigon or Penang... Inquiring minds, wanna know...

it is neither Penang nor Saigon. the graphic is more correct than the text. the mission is definitely into Viet Nam and closer to Can Ranh Bay than anything else. Definitely neither Penang nor Saigon. once you begin your mission, head for the icon. your drop-off zone is within 5 km of the marker. The boys editing FOTRSU need to tidy up that mission.
