I'm having a little trouble and can't see it's been reported before. First patrol out of Manila in an S-boat. I've done 2 patrol zones and was then tasked with the landing in Lingayen Gulf. I found 8 or so small troopships without any protection at anchor. I hit 3 with my initial wave of torps. Coming closer to a fourth with the scope up I didn't notice any defensive weapons. I surfaced the boat near #4 to get to work with the deck gun. My first shot caused a massive explosion that I was caught in. I suffered serious damage due to how close I was. After sinking everything else in range, I spent time getting the damage fixed.
Here's the problem: The only things left that need repair are both of the periscope heads and the radio antenna. I had already repaired 1 diesel engine and 2 electric engines, plus the batteries. I can't make the diesels run. If I submerge, the electric runs fine. I've tried turning the battery charger off, but still no go. Is there some type of permanent engine damage feature that I'm not aware of? The game accepts the order of "ahead standard," the telegraph moves, but the props never turn. Thanks in advance! |

That is the screen just before the display of the interior of the sub to start your mission. Hanging there usually indicates a lack of RAM. Let us know what your computer system is, and we'll go from there, or let us know if the LAA helps.

Is there any indication when permanent damage occurs? My damage control screen shows the engines to be in good working order. Only one of the 4 diesel engine lines showed damage, to my knowledge. But yeah, I'll probably just start over. I'm just wondering if I have some type of corruption to warrant a clean up and reinstall... |

Well, the Sugar boats only had two engines and two motors, but the game only allows one drawing in that display, which is used for all boats in the game. I am not certain how they tackle the "damaged beyond repair" issue, but it is basically a roll of the dice when you take damage above a certain level. I'll look at the "timings" of the ships coming into Lingayen. It might be that the DD screen is "quitting" too early, demanding more pay, or maybe they aren't there yet, though they should be...

Wow... Thanks
It***8217;s been MANY years since I***8217;ve played this game. For whatever reason, I got the urge to play again. I found this mod, downloaded it and have fallen in love all over again.
What a great mod. It feels like a new game. My first patrol has been slow (I***8217;m finding that you really have to ID ships before shooting, else your may send a good guy to the bottom. I***8217;ve had three solutions so far that I took time to set up but then aborted once o realized it wasn***8217;t Japanese. I needed the plotting practice anyway. That, and this is probably more realistic. Thanks mod team. Edit: When using the stadimeter, are you lining up the image with the highest mast or with the funnel?

To avoid this I never save within 20 and even 50 miles from land. I only save at night and on the surface. While this will limit the number of planes that might be near by but not detected you can have a stray ship depending on the shipping routes you might be near. I use Time Compression ... A LOT ... I have never had an issues with save from this however as I always drop to X1 then to X0 and then save the game. I will use the TC to gauge nearby shipping. If your running your time compression at its highest with a nearby ship you get a stuttering effect in the movement of the submarine over the map. No ships - you get a smooth movement. At night, 20 or more miles from land normally 50 miles, and TC with no stuttering then I will drop out to X1 then to X0 and save ... fairly but not 100 % sure nothing is near by. I get maybe a one percent chance of a corrupt save like this. I also delete previous saves except for the last two. If I can load a save then to me it is a known good file and I delete everything previous to that point. I then save the next one and if that one does not load I still have my known good file to go back on. Keeping to many saves has in the past been known to cause issues.

Anyway what it was: Long repair times. Meaning your damage rarely got to 100%. I even once sat on the bottom at a 45 degree angle flooded so bad I could not move but repairs kept going until about two game days later I was actually able to float enough to surface for air then went back down for more repairs as the engines were still out. I went back down because I was close to shore batteries but they could not see me at night but on the second submergence I did not have to stay on the bottom. Yes the mod prevented the bottom from severely damaging the boat. Because in real life ... the bottom was a cautious option. Could have been these mods or something similar to them: https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/dow...o=file&id=1185 https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/dow...do=file&id=546 https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/dow...o=file&id=1156 https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/dow...do=file&id=981 You are welcome for the can of worms. WARNING The above mod list is a reference in relationship to my comment only and not intended to be added to this mod. Just do not do that. You will only corrupt an outstanding mod. I only wished to give examples of what I was talking about.

If you do that, post your results for the others here, and I'll go through and see what I can find in the data files.
