Gato August 1943 no longer using fuel. Stays at 100%
August 1943 Home port Brisbane just received the Balao. SJ radar only no improved SJ and it only gave me a 3 inch gun no option for a 4 or 5 inch. Saved game and exit. Went back into the game and loaded the save ... now improved SJ is offered and 4 inch deck gun is offered. Nothing changed between leaving and going in. Any clue why the game does this?

Yes, as a matter of fact, I do... the game is borked... - but seriously, the "clock" in the game is very strange, and sometimes needs a "kick in the breeches" to get it to update. Witness what happens when you come into port after a patrol. You'll see a "date" for your next assignment, which then gets updated when you actually start the next patrol. If you look in the "Save / Load" dialog screen, you'll see two Saves, one for entering, and one for leaving port. You yourself saving, exiting, restarting and reloading forces an update to that also. I suppose the devs had to "draw a line" somewhere for dating purposes. We should probably make a note of that in the mod's documentation [note-to-self, which I will probably lose]... Look at what happens when you Transfer. You immediately go to the next home port, yet you are assigned an old home port mission - Stock or Modded. Why not keep the player at the first home port, and when they depart, ~then~ assign the new home port? All tests I have done on that aspect yield the same result - you move first, keeping the old assignment. Then you are back to "normal" - sort of...

Several settings were altered so that the DD didn't shoot torpedoes at the player's sub so soon... We might try to alter that later, but it is another "balancing act" getting things set somewhat "correct", so that the torpedoes still "hit" a target sometimes, yet still afford the player at least a few moments with the scope up before having them launched at them.

REPORT:
October 9 got to go check the year again. Sibutu Passage 2200. Balao class with Mark 16 load out. I found a Task force consisting of both Fuso and Yamashiro battleships. I fired 6 torpedoes into the Yamashiro and they all ... went through it. All passed through the hull and out the other side without detonation. I fished two other ships to make sure it wasn't a fluke and they all hit but nothing hits the Yamashiro. Thought I would let you know about that bug.

- confirmed... I shot 14s & 18s at it, impact and magnetic, and neither "saw" the ship, and just went on swimming, most going through, but two magnetics going under, and no reports of "dud" torpedoes...
Thanks for the report merc4ulfate! We'll get it patched-up to where it does not have hologram sides... The ship is a full Fuso clone, and the zon file is not linked to the dat at all... |

Mod author had not completed the links from the dat to the copied zon file. File is in area 51 Pb - see PM. Fired 9 torps, 2 were duds, gave them a good spread and after 7 hits, she sailed away!!!!

Naw, just a properly linked zon file so that the impact would "report"... - in my testing with the beast, I finally gave up after nine hits and it was still doing 5 knots, down just a pinch on the port bow, and apparently a jammed rudder stuck to where it constantly turned at about 2°. Since it's just a test, I quit... that was nine detonations, one dud. I didn't want to have to wait for all the reloads. Either the Yamashiro has a much improved damage repair team over what the Fuso has, or the crew is set to Elite... wait a minute... maybe I will try another test with it. Surely it will sink...

so while at sea looking at my sub cutting through some waves i noticed it wasnt really moving alot and seemed stiff among the rolling tall waves. honestly there are a few things. not too much of a complaint either but ive also noticed my fuel goes down very very very slowly on my Tambor class and if i check range at current speed while maintaining STD it just climbs up higher the more i push the button. so my next question might seem to be out there or stupid but is this a stand alone mod youve created or am i supposed to "add" this to FOTRS original mod or TMO ? because right now its the only mod i have installed.
