Sunk an IJN sub in Formosa Strait

msowsun · 05-15-10, 10:27 AM

I came across an IJN Sub on the surface in Formosa Strait. (TMO WTW July 1945) My first clue was a war ship sonar report but no visual or radar sighing. As I got closer he came into view.

I was able to sink him with the 4th torpedo. Strange thing was he never tried to submerge but did fire at my periscope.

I'm new to SH4 so...what mod are you using to get those great water textures?I have a fast PC that can handle SH4, and using SH4 UBM(1.5), OM and OMEGU w/ the latest patches.Love to get water looking like that!Regards,Royce

TMO comes with an Environmental mod, I am surprised OMEGU doesn't have something in it also. There are several env mods availble such as Real Environments.

The water in the OMEGU is nice but it isn't that deep blue that shows in the posted picks..at least not on my PC. Anyway thanks for the reply!

I don't play that mod but isn't that the intent so it is Atlantic water and not Pacific water?

Wow, that's cool. Never seen a sub before in SH4. SH1 had them, and they would submerge when they spotted you.
