I found a Japanese sub!... A weird one

Domanating · 03-28-15, 06:08 PM

hello, gents. I got pretty excited for finding a Japanese sub in my American campaign but I wasn't expecting to find one like this.
Is this how they're supposed to look like?

Hmmm. Looks like a Type IX U-Boat hull to me. Maybe a kit-bash of an existing model to play the part of a Japanese sub? And where's the conning tower?

That's what I'm wondering.

Still, I enjoyed torpedoing it

Looks like it got Domanated, whatever it was.

What does your mission log say it was?

I found another one in the same patrol and managed to sink it as well! What are the odds?

Nice post. Hey did they detect you? I have only encountered enemy subs in silent hunter 1

Crannogman · 03-29-15, 11:43 AM

That thing's huge!

The 1st one detected me because I was trying to engage it with my deck gun. But once I saw the rate of fire of their deck gun I made a quick dive, went a little closer and fired a torpedo.

The 2nd one I just destroyed it undetected with a torpedo as well.

What mods do you use?

TMO2.5
RSRDC 502+patch
Pacific environment
Convoy routes TMO+RSRDC
Webster's Better air patrols
Torpedo 25% more powerful

In that order

The conning tower won't arrive until Tuesday.

I would scrap PE, use the env included in TMO that works with the sensors. You're missing the tower and I know it shows in TMO, so something is wrong.
