Except me, I prefer the heavily researched and historically accurate PTC Cycles mod by Ed Howard that we used for the 15 cycles (3 months = 1 cycle) of each PTC Campaign, Dec 7th 1941 - Aug 1945, combined with Kim Rønhof's TBox (& Report Generator) TBox selects missions & issues appropriate patrol orders and much more. Ed modified the cycles mod into a stand alone mod now called the "Guerrilla Submarines Spyron Mod" available at his website: http://www.subsowespac.org/silent-hunter-4-mods.shtml The Narwhal class disappeared into the ether for some reason, I suspect the hands-on move crew from on deck watch by hand when the boat dives and you don't want to expose the to danger, plus they man stations in the CT & CR. I could be wrong..... usually am..... lol Quote:
I want to find some time to see if I can see what is up with the donation NARWHAL class & the mysterious empty folder in RFB when I finish this '15 cycle' campaign I'm currently playing. Happy Hunting! - and thanks for ISP

I hope this means you like the weather. Quote:
So, you use RFB 2.0 without RSRDC? Does the PTC Cycles mod add extra ships, or just the RFB ships? Quote:
Yeah, I guess the Narwhal doesn't really get a lot of attention. I wanted to add it in, for completeness sake, but I won't hold up the whole mod trying to figure it out. Maybe I can add it at a later date. |

Kim added the names of most of TM's 'extra ships' (at least up to v1.9) to his Patrol Report Generator so it would recognize them.... a completely different Program though. Extra (new) ships have no effect on the campaign. The Cycles mod, now the "Guerrilla Submarines Spyron Mod" happily issues Patrol Orders and sends messages assigning secondary Objectives as Primary Objectives are completed. All 'Special Missions' are missions actually conducted by US Submarines in WW II. Too bad about RFB & the empty NARWHAL class folder. Several missions in the "Guerrilla Submarines Spyron Mod" are those conducted by NARWHAL and its sisters. They can of course be easily conducted in any class boat in SH4. NARWHAL was an underpowered pig to handle until new engines were added in a major overhaul in 1943. Those engines took up space available for torpedo reload storage, reducing that number/capability. Sorry for rambling - partly OT here. : ) Happy Hunting!

"most members used TMO"
I do not find this to be true. From my reading and talking to others it seems Operation Monsun may have a third of the share. TMO, RFB, RSRD and other mods follow after in varying percentages. There are many, but not most, who use RFB with RSRD so there is nothing from the added shipping in TMO in those. Generic Mod Enabler - v2.6.0.157 RFB_2.0 RFB_2.0_Patch_23April2010 RSRDC_RFB_V575 RSRDC_V5xx_Patch1 Improved Ship Physics_1.1 Real Subs EAXsoundsim_without_WebstersManeuver_STOCK_GFO_OM

Also sorry, I should have used a complete sentence: Most members of the now defunct Silent Hunter I & IV online gaming group that focused on American WW II Submarine operations in the Pacific Theater called, "The Pacific Thunder Campaign" mostly used TMO, RFB, and Stock...... We didn't use 'German' U-Boats. Happy Hunting! |

By the way Toprx ... the rougher it got at sea the more I like it. I remember once standing between the poles of the bow jack staff and having them scream at me from the bridge to get off the bow.
I did ... and went straight to the forward look out which was one level higher than the bridge. At the bow I got the most up and down action and at forward look out you got the most port to starboard motion being higher up than the bridge. They heard me on the sound powered telephone and scrammed me off there as well. The night we had the rain going sideways was eerie since the sea was completely calm. Other days had the sun shining bright with clear skies and the sea with 20 foot crest. You sea all kinds of weather out there but it was always fun..

I'll probably put together a TMO friendly version down the road. Quote:
I'm glad you like it. Having severe weather, that has an operational effect, was a major goal for me. |

Please shoot off some fireworks when your done with the mod. I'd love to try the new version. After I got the documentation in my head about moving the specialist all my speed issues went away using ISP.
I'm looking forward to your new version.

If so, with any luck, possibly in their respective Interior sims (?? I hope). Vickers03 is the true Interior expert however I don't mind looking at sims if that is the problem - and where the problem is. I like using his interiors, even in RFB. Getting his interiors to display properly in RFB was a project - locating & mapping each gauge etc. |
