namely 'Doc Jester' s Overhaul 'is' ships displacement variation'
Regarding the smoke I will give you my comments shortly ...
When has your history of coastal mines .. in relation to the "side" question are there any mines anchored in the rad at that time .. in this past.? I don't know ... then I doubt it since it is the start of hostilities. But I don't know the answer yet .. !!! It is up to you to enlighten me .... as I have already told you I play more at the battles of the Atlantic and know the uboats much better and I have a better knowledge of them elsewhere these buildings are very superior in all respects to all the nation of the time ... I don't know the American submarine confit very well, shame on me but I'm here to learn .. is I must say that I really like this forum ... Hi, some member of the forum with whom I learned is keep learning .. it's exciting ..
Here is my Batiment on patrol just escaped a bomber attack shortly .. I did not look for the fight ... being poorly equipped for an air attack

approaching the Luzon objective in the strait ...

see you soon greeting Bubblehead1980

Just to clarify, are you asking for the SD (Air Search Radar) for the Porpoise Class ? If so, it is not available until 31 December 1941 at a very high cost (8000 renown) , cost goes down in February. This was done because at the open of the war, SD radar was still new technology most US boats (especially those in Asiatic Fleet, i.e. out of Manila) did not have SD. Those in the Pacific Fleet that did found themselves assigned to patrol off Japanese Home. Islands. I figured it would give player a chance to have to adhere to the pre war doctrine of submerge by day, surface at night when in patrol area, to avoid aircraft. I did include an optional mod in the download which restores SD radar to all boats from start of the war, if the player chooses or is say running a boat that DID have SD radar at start of the war, such as the USS Plunger (Porpoise class), which made its first patrol off Japanese home islands.

Far as mines go.....the US Army erected a large naval minefield around Corregidor Island at entrance to Manila Bay. The minefield is large and covers the entrance to Manila Bay with a gap in the middle at the entrance to allow traffic in and out, basically it forces ships to sail within range of the shore batteries. These mines are visible from the surface as their depth is set to 0 ft, they are meant to deter surface traffic. This minefield was active until May 1942 when Corregidor fell to the Japanese.

After that a Japanese minefield appears at entrance and in approaches to entrance of Manila Bay to deter submerged intruders and believe there are subnets as well. I did not build a Japanese minefield against surface ships because Manila bay has a lot of convoys coming and going and the AI ships are not smart enough to dodge mines in most cases lol (have watched one do it). The japanese mines and nets are active until Feb 1945 when Manila is liberated by US forces and then a US minefield, same as the early war, reappears.

Great shots. Have you noticed more stability in weather compared to before the update? Still a bit off in my opinion, but better than it was.

From what I can tell... weather seems to be... alright, but... to be frank, am still in the early on stage of patrolling & can't really say for sure if it is more... stable than say stock, but.. 1st blush look, appears to be... as stable, as I can see of right off.

So, take that opinion with a grain of... sea salt, for what it's worth, right now.

post edit :

The mod, "TMOverhauled v2.5 Into movie", is intro done from "Silent Service Graphics Mod 1.2c" found here:

https://www.mediafire.com/file/d7o4l..._1.2c.rar/file

As is, I do enjoy watching the Intro vid play sometimes... as I can always bypass it if I don't.

The "1-MM's Gramophone music mix', is a compilation I put together, from Fred J. Barnett's music collection... I think the International radio mod, is from Carito's radio mod... I think.

Can't say with 100% certainty, owing to losing all of My mods collection & note I had for all things SH3, 4 & 5 repository I had. My ext. HD gave up the ghost with nary a sign of impending doom...

Nice setup. Just checking (I see you specified date) just checking though. You do not enable the Type 95 and Type 2 DC mods at same time do you? Have to be enabled one at time depending on time frame as they will overwrite one another. Just making sure

Uh uh... the listing is a notepad save that I threw together... & yeah, I did note that in the read me for the DC's.. that the type 95 was in use until 08-43 & the type 2's started in use right after that... My bad for not clarifying that... good eye for details.. I missed seeing that.

I added the date signifier so as to know when to swap them out... for ease of id'ing them.

Night attack in the new and improved TMO. (My apologies for having to split the video into three pieces but I'm rather cheap and don't own a Youtube premium account. Still, I wanted to share this 38 minute experience without editing out parts.)

I stopped my Seahorse experience and started a new career mid-1944 to take advantage of the improvements and fixes offered at that stage of the war.

USS Apogon (SS-308)

First patrol - first enemy encounter. A fast convoy consisting of 2 tankers (6,000+ tons and 11,000+ tons) making 16 knots or so at night. We reported it and received orders to attack. Attempted to make a surface attack since they were moving too fast to make a submerged run. Our intent was to sink the largest tanker then make a break for it. When nearly in range the 2 escorts broke our way and we were forced to submerge.

I thought we were going to be dead meat at least a half dozen times during this encounter. As it turns out, we were able to sink both escorts and the smaller tanker before finishing off the larger one. I think luck certainly played a part. That and having a fine crew on a fine boat.

(I just thought presenting a video would give the finer details.)

I've extended my mods.

Yesterday I was attacked several times during the day by bombers ... I avoided the confrontation being poorly equipped for this kind of combat ... I plunged ... at night from 9 p.m. arriving in the area in Luzon .. I ran into two destroyer over 10,000 nautical .. they were sailing SSE. then we change direction .. they went up towards the NNW. I surfaced ... Then I tried to cut them off in order to engage the fight and have an aggressive attitude ... but those if being fast my walk in the night ... then I lost it

Here I am going to continue I really like your mod because you really have to watch out for aviation during the day ... you really have to have a different attitude. When you pilot your ship ... I want to thank you for having shed some light on the minefields ... this is undoubtedly the cause of CTD ... as well as all the information you are providing here ... see you soon Bubblehead1980 ..

Glad you are enjoying it, that is one reason I decided to have no air radar from the start. Mainly for historical immersion reasons but also, it provides player a more challenging experience when it comes to aircraft.

Good after a few tests I recommend not to use Overhaul doc Jester's because it really changes the nights .. the color .. the atmosphere .. is not the same ...
Personally, I use it without the environment, it avoids the problem with your mod ... as well as "ships deplacement" which modifies certain renouncement value is other ..
I left on a more original list. In order to keep the spirit of your mod ..
I just rubbed shoulders with the plane because they are really present this does not forgive ... I suspected ... see you soon

Is it still advised to turn off Volumetric Fog in the settings?

There were some problems associated with that setting in the past.

Have they been fixed?
