[REL] RFB/Real Fleet Boat for 1.5 - Page 202

Ok I got it resolved. Thanks folks. Back to protecting Java in my S-18...

I'm having a bug/problem. I can't get the submarine to go into silent running. I press the button and it says "Yes sir, silent running." but it doesn't actually stick.

At first I thought this was a clever way of simulating the noisier diesel subs (USS Narwhal) before they changed over to pure diesel electric. However I'm not in the USS Gato which is a pure diesel electric and I still can't get into silent running. Any help?

Great Mod !!!

Hi all,

Just wanted to ask again (someone must!): Is there an ETA, even a rough one, for the next version of RFB?

Thanks!

So far, it seems people are happy with the current version of RFB, so I would think that you wont see another one for many many months

I have no complaints, but I seem to recall talk of a summer enhancement update. Enhancements are always exciting.

yeah! it would be amazing if they improve RFB

Post your JSGME mod active list, please. Single mission, patrol date and time. Suspect a hosed install.

Happy Hunting!

It crashes to desktop near the home base.
I was able to complete the 1st mission, but CTD occured on a return to base from the 2nd mission.

I have installed the following over SH4 1.5 (U-boat mission)
RFB_v1.52
RSRDC_RFBv15_V421
RSRDC_V421_Patch2
British Medium Old Tanker Mod
Extra ASW ships for Japan
Myoko & Smaill seaplane tender
New Ships + Yamato AA Fix
PCOkinoshima
ShipDisplacementVariation_V1
Full Screen Scopes for RFB 1.5x

All items were installed via JSGME before 1st patrol, last item was installed while in port before 2nd patrol.

Help is greatly appreciated.

is there any q-ship in RFB??

Sailor Steve · 08-21-09, 11:34 AM

Did the Japanese ever use Q-ships? I don't think US submarines were ever under orders to approach on the surface and board Japanese merchants, so there would be no need.

pkadaj2 · 08-21-09, 01:10 PM

I think I figured it out what is causing crash on my system.
It seems to be ShipDisplacementVariation_V1 mod.

pozine · 08-21-09, 04:49 PM

Maybe, In OM...

Any chance of MK14 torpedoes costing renown during the '42 / '43 years? Perhaps a limited set of 0 renown variety and a set of some costing renown? That way even with 0 renown in the bank you'd at least have some.

I did a patrol in late 42 where I didn't load up a full set for "realism." Note I have no idea if the shortages forced partial combat loads but it seemed plausible enough.

It might replicate the sense of preciousness of these 1-ton fish (or is it 2-ton?) and command's very real pressure to fire sparingly. This could also fix some of the "runaway renown" problems where we're rolling in it by our 3rd patrol. While trying to save on torpedoes you might have a target slip away or shoot plenty of expensive torpedoes for a more surefire payday. It could bring a new balance to the renown game.

Also can I get a bearing to contact button on the periscope page?

I *like* that idea. Might force me to a bit more realistic in my behavior, during that dark bleak time when Mark 14's were short on hand.
