All,

I recently patched up to 1.5 (I know....way too late) by getting the u boat missions off of amazon DD. After installing TMO 2.5, all graphics appear to be vanilla again. What's going on with my install? Graphics were definitely enhanced when I was running the 1.4 version.

Awesome I wanted to make sure I hadn't broken it. I like the mod thus far. I finally found some action by going to Guam and sneaking into the harbor and torpedoing a pair of ships at anchor.

Boy that was one mad destroyer.

Does TMO vary the time it takes for ships to sink? If not, is there a mod that works well to make ships sink more realistically?

Finally, is there a way to make the sub dive faster? I thought I saw a crew ability that does it but I can not find it now.

neilbyrne · 01-02-14, 12:54 PM

TMO includes a more realistic sinking times mod and times vary. I've had ships take as long as 20 minutes to sink; most go in three or so.

You can dive faster by using crash dive which is D plus ctrl.

Well allow me to thank the author for the work done on this mod. It really is a more polished version of a favorite game and now that I have spent some time with it I am very pleased with the results.

Thank you.

I do, too, and lots of others appreciate Ducimus' work. He is not around much anymore. If you really want to express your gratitude, then sending a PM is better.

Paladin132 · 01-03-14, 09:26 AM

Done, thank you.

Paladin132 · 01-03-14, 05:00 PM

As I am playing through my first career I have noticed I cannot operate out of Midway or take new construction. Is there something wrong with my installation?

swampy · 01-08-14, 04:09 PM

Hi I just installed SH 4 and this mod. I would like to play on skill level: Realistic, no map contacts manual targeting but with event camera and free camera enabled.
Is that possible?

Yes, that is possible. But it needs to be setup in the game settings. In career mode before you start a patrol go to the game settings, big clock on the shelf on the left side of your screen. Go into the game settings and set the parameters you want to use.

swampy · 01-09-14, 08:56 AM

Ok thanks I found it.

A few more questions:
I was looking at the nav map with a high time compressor factor and saw the massage "ship spotted!" however the time didn't stop. Why was that?

What is the best tactic to use in the beginning of the campaign? When and were to dive and check the hydrophone etc?

Is there more key combinations with this mod or any other than the help (F1) will tell you about? Is it possible to configure your own key combinations etc?

It could have been a friendly ship or.... you TC so fast you blasted past it... Just kidding, as far as I know it only happens when you cross paths wiht a friendly.

I normally dive every 2 hours a stay down 1 hour sweeping, no idea what the protocols were in real life tho.

I don't know if there are other key combo's besides the one's in the help file but you can change them in the:
Data/ CFG/ Commands.cfg

Come to think of it, you'll be able to see the hidden key-combo's in that file.

PS_ Don't forget to make a backup of the file before you start playing with it

I have seen ships even after three fish take 5 hours to sink. It all depends on the ship, AI settings and damage model.

You can change settings in the game to make it more realistic but always read your documentation on the mods you have. Many mods such as TMO will over write game settings so once they are loaded changing the setting will affect nothing.

A few new questions...

I am having successful patrols, but I am not getting a new command in late 43. I have done 13 patrols, all but four on the USS Triton. The sail is still the same original sail, and no transfers are possible. I also have lost the forward operating rearm bases, even the one (name escapes me) north of Fremantle on Australia items. I was never able to go to new construction either.

Any thoughts?

Tricky · 01-11-14, 01:12 PM

Hey guys,

Playing TMO and RSRD and I'm having a helluva time finding ships. Thursday evening I ignored the wife completely and played 5-6 hours on a single patrol. Found and sank 1 ship, and that was after patrolling 3-4 different objective locations. I'm constantly finding planes, could probably make a career out of shooting them down. The ocean and sea seems empty as can be though.

Here's my mod setup right now:

1_TriggerMaru_Overhaul_2-5
1_TMO_25_small_patch
RSRDC_TMO_V502
RSRDC_V5xx_Patch1
Convoy Routes TMO+RSRD
Improved Stock Environment_v3_TMO&RFB

Any ideas? I've gone as far as searching individual grids, move to next one, move to next one, etc. I feel as though I'm alone in the world
