A comment and a question.
Comment: I did some testing and it appears that if you select the Aft Deck Gun and then populate the station with its crew, the disappearing crew slot bug does not occur. Once at sea, re-deploy the gun crew and their slots remain. I tried it three times with three different classes and the crew slots appeared as designed after every save. Question: does FOTRS 1.46 have a hot key for the stop watch? If not, is there a spare hot key available for one in the future. Awesome for the PTO, well done to all concerned. Now back to the long transit from Pearl to Area 7. -C |

Thank you on behalf of the team. Smooth sailing and happy hunting - and may your boat not have HORS engines! (wouldn't that be cool if we could emulate them, like we can the dud torpedoes??)... |

What's wrong with tradin' spit?... lol - the toothbrushes just wear out faster, especially if you use them to clean the tile grout... - but seriously, I just found this email thingie today. She has had the job for a few weeks now, and there isn't too much that comes across, but it is still there... lurking... interfering with the 3D display... stealing clock cycles... She also has a version on her fone... these people are nutz, being married to their company like that... Never out of touch. Anyway, depending upon the tax situation, my fingers are crossed for a new laptop... |

Good luck with the taxes, SWMBO bought her laptop to do ours, she's as good at numbers as I am awful with them. Something that a career in the Field Artillery never managed to correct. (Let's see, angle of sight plus complementary angle of sight times range in thousands plus tangent elevation equals... Oh, hell, give her half a crank up and let'r rip.) -C |

Oh, I'm really good with numbers, other than mine always end up as negative, or "in the red"... lol - we do owe Uncle Sam some money, which is better than him owing me money and not paying me interest for it this past year... although, I am paying him inflated dollars now... lol - like you: "give her half a crank and let'r rip!" we'll get there eventually to a nice balance.

I notice that there is no radar warning upgrade (rader counter measure) in FOTRSU 1.46, while in TMO, which i previously played, such equipment is available in late war time. So i'm wondering is this equipment necessary in the game? Will the Japanese ships use radar to detect our submarines in FOTRSU 1.46?
anthor question: I frequently received contact reports and ship information in the radio and map, but when i caulating a proper course and speed to intercept them, i always failed. Only one successful interception out of more than 10 attempts. Does it mean that enemy ships usually change their course and a long-range interception in FOTRSU is almost impossilbe? |

To state, you have to remember, this IS a WW2 sub sim & mod to boot... it's NOT a modern 1... meaning, that the boys in the navy of then, did not unlike their modern day counterparts.. have access to nice, bright, shiny satellite's nor the boys behind the desks, analyzing what was captured by them... So... your odds of doing a successful interception, will widely vary... from fairly good, if you're extremely lucky... to a snowball, wearing gasoline soaked under roo's.. making it through Hades, unscathed.. translating to... nil to none. (Sorry, My weird sense of humor rearing its head, oft times, at the worst time... ) Long & short of it... can try to calculate an intercept course, but... don't hold your breath on it being accurate... unless.. you are really NOT that far away when you get the contact report to base 1 off of it.. then, the chances are.. a wee bit better of having a chance at an intercept & even then.. that is probably a 50/50 proposition, at best... propbeanie, could chime in with a more... informed analysis here.. on My supposition & clarify that.. Hope this helps... M. M.

Parker's Tincan in ID book
FORTSU 1.46, no other Mods.
Parker's Tincan, and Parker's Tincan II both have 0 tons listed as their weight. Also ran across Kawanishi H6K4. with no picture.. An airplane in the ship ID book. On purpose?

As MM mentions about the contact reports, the contacts, especially in FotRSU and other mods, can be very difficult to track down. In Stock, the ships generally go straight as an arrow from point A to point B, only deviating slightly in their journeys to avoid land. In FotRSU, the groups will zig-zag constantly. Case in point: Notice the highlighted Troop Transport group starts out of the Ise Bay and begins traveling in a generally southwest direction, but zig-zagging. Suppose the report comes in during one of the south-southwest jogs? and then just a few mile later, the group is going west-southwest? You'll never find it based on the report. Suppose you do get a report on it going southwest, and you're down by the Luzon Straits. You would assume it is coming toward you... but no: It takes a little jog to the west and goes between the Ryukyus and Kyushu and heads for the Formosa Strait... You completely miss it... Quote:
Now, you seeing this information, are you looking at them in the Museum, or in their folders? If you're in the Museum, we have to change the set-up for that... Last edited by propbeanie; 04-17-21 at 11:07 AM. |

I am contemplating redoing the single merchant layers in TMO for my upgrade, make them zig, they tend to travel a straight line and are too easy to track. |

Re: What gives...???
Ahoy, team...
Ok, got a very weird one, here.. Generic Mod Enabler - v2.6.0.157 [C:\Games\Silent-Hunter\SH4-Steam\steamapps\common\SH4-megamods\FotRS-U-EN\MODS] FotRSU-EN v1.46 901_Strategic_Map_Symbols 452_MoonlightzSonarLines SEA_LIFE_SH4 Nippon v1.2.1 Fleetboat Interior-Officers Quarters_FOTRSU v1.39 EN International Radio mod RadioStationManager 1-MM's Gramophone music mix On patrol, in a Sargo sub, out of Manila... 1st operational patrol. Orders were to patrol 10 days, around Makung observe & report activity in the area, as is believed invasion force will sail from here.. Ok, hot footed it there, cranked 4 speed... & on station. Get sonar report of a contact.. get its base heading & got ahead & waited for it to get in range. On it getting to where I could ID it.. set up fish for it & waited for it to get in better range with torp doors open (2) 1 considering its small size BUT it being a war ship.. a 2nd, set up... just in case. It gets in range & I find Myself in the middle of a very strange... mystery... Patrol zone: Target is a subchaser 13... tubes I was set up with to attack, are the fore tubes & this is what I get yet on attack map.. no sign of the torp travel line: Torp 1, fore - peri view: Attack map, torp tube 1: Now, when I go to check something... clicking on the aft torp tube, tube 5, to be precise I get this: torp 5, peri view: & torp tube 5, attack map: Accordingly.. fore tubes are facing the target wrong... despite having My bow facing the right direction, with the target traveling from starboard to port... & is out ahead of Me.. add to that, after lock on... being told it is 30K from were I am.. when best guess.. 3500, to 4500 in front of Me, well would be when & if the right set of torp tubes was accurately locked on... that is.. when I would be unloading all holy hades on them, in the form of 1 torp kiss of death. If it doesn't dud out, that is... & they've gotten inside of that range when I go to fire the torps off... YET, can't... as the wrong set of tubes (aft) are saying & declaring that they are the ones to be used... when they ain't.. as the aft end of the sub is most definitely NOT pointing in the targets direction.... End report. M. M.
