ST radar...that would be most welcome! If memory serves, ST was a problem due to being hard coded. I guess you might have found away around that.
I haven't posted much for the last few weeks. I took the plunge and installed 1.39 with Nippon Maru. I've avoided the know issues, transfers and what not. I have 2 campaigns going right now. One with Gato and the other a Balao. The Gato is sailing out of Freemantle and the Balao is out of Midway, both in 1943. I have discovered that the IJN DD's and aircraft are very aggressive! The worse thing you can do is let a wounded freighter sail away. Their radios work. I was stuck in area 7 for 4 days due to staying submerged in the day time and charging batts at night, repairing depth charge damage. I had long range aircraft searching for me as well as a DE. Finally made it out with only light damage.
Another discovery: most of the larger freighters are armed with cannon/auto cannon and the crews tend to be accurate! A running gun battle is tantamount to suicide
The AI of 1.39 is challenging and exciting....BZ
I am split between RFB and TWoS besides FotRSU. I am also doing a revision of the Ship Length table. It will include all the 'Maru's', mast height, draft and mast-funnel-kingpost configuration. I find searching a table is much easier than flipping through the book. I have entertained adding silhouettes . Still thinking about it.
If I run across any bugs not listed, I will report. Overall, 1.39 is a bit rough, but a great rev. all in all.
PB- Thanks for the hash sum.
