Daspit recorded about the sixth one since Tonan Maru had become a "sitting duck", "... Hit. No apparent effect. This torpedo hit well aft on the port side, made splash at the side of the ship and was then observed to have taken a right turn and to jump clear of the water about 100 feet (30 m) from the stern of the tanker. I find it hard to convince myself that I saw this."

LMAO, I can only imagine how it was telling someone about this.

can you help ?

I have RFV 2.0 and RSRD

Hit the numpad "Del" key (right next to the zero) to hide the dials and menu bar. If you have a laptop without a real or virtual numpad, you can either plug in an external usb keyboard (5$ on craigslist), or temporarily change to a higher screen resolution so the slots aren't blocked. (Changing res requires a game restart.)

However, I believe you can control the AA gun manually without any seamen in the slots without ill effects. You're probably better off doing this anyway since your crew are lousy shots.

OK, here is version 1.0 of the revised sensors and environment for RFB. I sent it also to Luke for including in the next patch, but I make it available here directly so you guy don't have to wait and start putting pressure on Luke

Drop into JGSME and enable. AND READ THE README!!!!

Same question here, my boat sounds like a Prius, I miss the grumble of the diesels and the whine of the electric motors when submerged...

Many thanks Hitman for your work. The patch shouldn't be long now, I hope.

RFB's Sh.sdl need a bit of tweaking to get the engine volume up IIRC. I don't know if it was lowered on purpose or other sounds got their levels higher. In addition, I have replaced my RFB engine sound with the TMO alternate (not TMO default) engine sound.



EDIT: Just ran few single player missions with the revised sensors and environment mod. It seems that now the crew sees less than the last beta. I tested it in three missions and got the same results. Waiting for the patch so I can see how this plays in career. But so far I have to say that I liked better earlier versions. Or it just might be my bright monitor...

He told Admiral Lockwood:

When he arrived in my office, Dan [Daspit] was the nearest to being boiling mad I have ever seen him. I expected a torrent of cuss words, damning me, the Bureau of Ordnance, the Newport Torpedo Station and the Base Torpedo Shop, and I couldn't have blamed him - 19,000-ton targets don't grow on bushes. I think Dan was so furious as to be practically speechless. His tale was almost unbelievable, but the evidence was undeniable.

spotted by crew but can't be seen through binoculars nor TBT ????



visible on screen 20 ' later... dive dive dive !



didn't know you had to click on GSP to get the range etc... what does it stand for ?


how do you turn off manual targeting ? thought I did that in the main menu before I started the campaign, but now even with the GSP enabled, my shots all went to the starboard side when the enemy ship was to port !!!!

GyroSPindles. Basically, it's saying that the TDC is feeding the torpedoes with firing solution data.

The dial for inputting speed is in the upper right-hand corner.

All,

Something is indeed wrong with the diesel engine sound. It'll be fixed in the next patch.
