the Narwhal mod

c13Garrison · 08-06-13, 01:15 PM

I downloaded the Narwhal mod, but I'm not sure it overwrote the "faux" Narwhal in TMO/RSRD. I never loaded that one, so I'm not sure, but the Narwhal I have doesn't seem as dark colored as the prize-winning mod, and it only fires from the forward gun.

Is this correct, or do I need to do something?

And, for the first time ever, I had a CTD on returning to base in Java, 2nd patrol. I don't think my computer likes the Narwhal, which is a darn shame. And I just lost a good deal of tonnage.

Maker sure you have the TMO compatible version.Also, it does overwrite the pseudo narwhal.The donation Narwhal works just fine with TMO RSRD for me.

c13Garrison · 08-06-13, 06:17 PM

The file I have is

New Narwhal K v 1.8.5

It says nothing in the download link about whether it is TMO2.5 compatible or not. Since it was made After TMO, I would assume it is. Am I correct?

This is my full mod list- The first "catastrophic" error I had occurred only after the last addition. I had 15 successful "full soup" patrols before that. JSGME seemed to add Narwhal just fine, and it appears in the list.

Bubblehead you better remove the link before people who didn't donate start downloading it.

c13Garrison · 08-06-13, 08:52 PM

I have it safely, and I've donated twice now in the last 10 days, so I'm pretty sure Neal will be content.

Thanks so much for helping me out. In exchange, more zanny hilarity from Subron 13 will ensue!!

Begin McHale's Navy theme...

LOL What the heck- my last avatar was actually pretty cool, and now I"ve aged 80 years and gone cartoonish!

Admiral Halsey · 08-06-13, 08:56 PM

I know you donated.(The subsim badge was proof of that.) He needs to remove the link so people who didn't donate can't download it.

The donation period is over, I got the link from simple forum search, which linked to a post back when i asked about a TMO version, the link was posted in said post.No need to remove the link.

Well, finally got the Proper Narwhal installed, and ran it out on a new career. ...or two. Which performances we are going to call "tests."

What it Can do.

Swiftly deal with a disabled merchant with its guns, and defeat a minelayer in open waters without much damage.

What it cannot do.

Sail across a convoy's "T" and gun it out with them. Merchants have 3" bow-chasers (lineage of the British 6-pounder gun?), and 9 of them make for a Large volume of fire. ...don't ask me how I know...

Surface in a Harbor and duel it out with everything docked there. ...I heard somebody did this, it certainly wasn't me...

So, it seems the best thing to do is Forget you have 2 6" guns, and just know that if you're forced to the surface by a lone escort you have a Slightly better chance of winning than other boats would. Which is "not very good."

It looks great btw, as advertised.

Well have to remember its still a sub lol. I wil say this, if you can ambush a DD or other small warship with those guns, meaning on a dark night from about 4000 yards, turn your broadside to them so both guns are on them at ideal angles and you operate one to ensure you score a fire hit, order to fire, fire and let the AI controlled one fire, you score two hits, then follow up, its devastating. Also in later war you can mount a forward and aft 40 MM in place of the .50 cal or 20 mm, operate one of those, plus let the AI 6 inch guns bang away at a target, highly effective.

I would use the Narwhal more but RSRD lacks the large amount of special missions for her(beyond the Makin raid, which i improved) so once have more special missions for 43 on, sure I will use it more.
