[REL] RFB/Real Fleet Boat for 1.5

[Gorshkov]

Oh, gosh! It sounds like SH4 coders messed too much with radars. As far as I correctly understood your explanations in this game:

- SD radar is in fact directional radar, exactly as SV model

- no air targets are displayed on surface radar scopes but in reality SV radar could act like this

- human player has to distinguish himself between surface and aerial contacts and that may be hard to do in an intensive battle environment, as I suppose

In sum, radars are definitely not modeled decently in SH4 even after five patches released!

You're right. The radar model is still greatly lacking after all this time.

One note about the SV radar: yes, it used the same scopes that the SJ used, but it was mounted in the control room: http://www.maritime.org/tour/tcrvr.htm (the last pic on the page shows it). The conning tower was always the domain of SJ radar, nothing else.

Hi all!In my opinion RFB is one of the best mods around but i wanna ask some questions: First of all I am having a small issue (which doesnt affect gameplay much) with RFB. After a little zooming in the navigation map, the ship contacts dissapear. (The little square doesnt exist anymore after a little zoom in). I am using SH4 v1.5 with RFB RSRDC, NSM and PE. Also, i would like to ask you if i can increase the difficulty of the japanese destroyers. I want their depth charges to have more accuracy, be able to find me out easier or something like that...

Hi all,

Question regarding RFB and a possible conflict with other mods.
currently running SH4 1.5, with RFB, RSRD and PE (Enviroments), and were installed in that order respectively.

The problem im currently having, is that my deck watch don't come below deck when I dive (1941 in a Salmon). Ive tried a regular dive, crash dive, battle stations on and off, and yet no difference is made, they just stand on the conning tower looking with binoculars at 250ft depth!

Any ideas?

The correct installation order is PE then RFB and last RSRDC. PE first. not RFB.

Although this was answered for you using the home and end key. We noticed also that some subs clicking the sonar interface would not work. Apparently this is an original bug with the game. A few of the subs clicking does not work.

I noticed the ships disappear also but I switch to the attack map at that close range. You get a white line for the ship. As far as tougher destroyers. Peto has just reworked these files. The DD are nastier. If you happen to find yourself under enlite DD kiss your next three hours goodbye attempting to get away. You may last as little as a minute.

One of Peto's reports on the beta in test:

Conclusion:
1. Quite a show. Worst time I ever had evading (record was just under 6 hours).
2. That's the 2nd time in a week Akizuki's have given me so much grief. They seem worse somehow...
3. If I could have gone deeper, I confident I could have shaken them sooner. Even to 350 would have made a huge difference as it would have widened their search radius to reaquire me...
4. The question as to whether I am invisible when silent running has been answered. Going to 1/2 knot was the only thing that saved my bacon.
5. the initial attack was VERY fun and Difficult. escaping with no damage was a combo of skill and luck.
6. If they had been with a convoy, they wouldn't have stuck around so long. At least one would have left. the other could have been eluded fairly easily then.
7. Sonar conditions were Perfect for them. It should have been hard for me.
8. Discovering that going to 1/2 knot makes a difference was a good thing. I'll be using that in the future.
9. this was the most gruelling prolonged attack I've experienced.
10. It was a Bitch.

The beta should be in the next installment of RFB that is coming very soon.
