We'll good luck captgeo. Keep rolling in the stories this is intresting.

merc4ulfate · 07-16-14, 07:13 PM

When do I not play?

Generic Mod Enabler - v2.6.0.157
RFB_2.0
RFB_2.0_Patch_23April2010
RSRDC_RFB_V575
RSRDC_V5xx_Patch1
Real Subs

I started RFB three weeks ago and I am testing out some issues with ISP while using this list.

I tell you what ... one of my last missions was a night surface attack against two carriers, two heavy cruisers and 4 destroyers. I passed within 900 yards across the bow without the escort seeing me and fired a salvo of fish at 500 yards at the lead carrier. that is when they lit me up and I dove to periscope depth. I caught them coming up the Bungo. I do not know where pete was ... maybe he was the one that got away. Tally was two carriers, two heavy cruisers, and thanks to being ran over by the cruisers three destroyers out of the way.

RSRDC TMO_V502
RSRDC V5*** patch 1

TMO visuals for RSRDC

not really sure if last 2 actually working?

THEBERBSTER · 08-14-14, 06:39 PM

I am finding TMOwtw 2.50 better than RFB that I was previously using.

On a difficulty level I find both about the same

I also removed RSRDC as well to test out what TMO is all about.

As I expected RSRDC suppresses a lot of the capabilities of both RFB and TMO.

These two mods are complete packages in their own right.

Both have excellent and informative documentation that covers all you need to know.

At present it is too early to say whether RSRDC will be needed again in the future.

TMO has its own interesting campaign structure and also the crew abilities were being suppressed by RSRDC.

The Crew abilities and points rating may not be to every ones taste but personally I like it.

I found moving the crew in RFB became an irritation after a while.

It would not have been so bad if they were all moved to one compartment but you have to use 3.

RFB has a poor map unless you add other mods where as TMO you do not need to.

The other thing I am not sure on is whether to add back in Webster's Better Air Patrols.

For the moment the jury is out on that one as it was with RFB.

If you have never thought about the TMO light version then it is worth giving it a try as I can assure you, you will be pleasantly surprised with the interfaces graphics, shortcuts and icons.

These are all the mods I am using as with some of these larger interface mods you often find that less is more.

Kifer · 08-27-14, 05:02 AM

Is seems sh4 after after adding some mods still have potential. I like it more then sh5. I'm using Monsun ops as a main mod.
