Here's something that probably is in s7rikeback's domain. I was cruising SE of Tokyo Bay when I picked up a radar contact. Turned out to be two Shiratsuyu DDs . Both of them looked like the screenie below.
I looked in the sea folder under NDD Shiratsuyu and couldn't see anything that was obvious at least to my limited knowledge. Did notice that there is still a tga files in there. I thought they were garbage. One other thing of note, the Shiratsuyu looked fine in the Museum. Wondering if this is the same one that max posted about, sure looks like it. The game engine got a little choppy after that encounter also.

With all due respect for that thread, none of that is necessary. Drop the H-bomb on your game directory and follow the instructions in my tutorial. In ten minutes you're back in business still playing the same savegame you left. Why care about exactly what the problem is when you can fix it before you could ever get a quarter of the way through diagnosing it? Just drop the H-bomb and be done with it!

You'll also find enemy warships to be uncannily accurate. They can and will hit you with the first or second salvo from 9000 yards out. They have a great gun platform and men motivated and trained to be the best. You have a lousy gun platform and men who man the deck gun if they want to die. Your deck gun IS a great place to dry laundry. Otherwise it's quicker and more effective to point your finger at the enemy and yell "Bang! Bang!" then scurry below quickly. I come from the "italian school" (torpedoes and deck gun together. Look Carlo fecia di cossato and the Tazzoli patrols in the atlantic, or Salvatore Todaro and the Cappellini, or The Da Vinci, best non german sub for ship sunk in the atlantic. They first fire torpedoes. Then surface and engage with deck gun. Dangerous. Indeed Doenitz didnt like this tactic. But admired it. Fecia di cossato and others was recipient of iron cross, knights cross too for their.actions in atlantic. They often come back to bordeaux with some serious damage, but with several ships sunk too. In one of the most success patrols the Tazzoli sunk 38.000tons in the carribean i guess. Drumbeat ops. There the italian boats had.the best success using this tactic. But they had powerful 100 mm deck guns. Not a 3.50 like me. later i ll mount a 4.50. Hunting single merchants in center and south america. The Tazzoli hunted in florida too. Sinkin several ships like the merchantman montevideo or the philipine ship dona aurora. My grandpa was awarded too for a surface fight against 5 escorts in perim strait...was his 18 birthday. At end after forcing 2 escorts to withdraw for damages, they was hit and the skipper scuttled.the boat. 7 years of pow camp in india later.) So using this tactic.i guess i ll be sunk many times in fotrs. Yet in tmo i survive.but with damages, sailors hurt or dead etc etc).

Indeed i m sure i ll be killed several times. Instead in land warfare, like in total war i m a very careful commander. Using an attrition guerrilla strategy, never engaging big field battles, only skirmishes and sieges, where have a stromg adantage. Something like the small force theory of belisarius.
In sh i m too.bold sometime and that cost me much often. Not killed.even. but ever some sailor dead, serious damages, also if much tonnage.

Later i start to use easier ai for tmo. (not so easier like someone think. Also rfb isnt so easier. If you.met the wrong escort, and you met it often, you re dead.) why? Because while i like harder escorts, the pacific wasnt the atlantic, so yes they should be harder, but not exagerating. On the other side a historical escort, is boring. You yet know that it set bombs to 150 until 43, and you easily survive early war. So with easier ai for tmo, i found annhalf way in tmo. Some escorts are normal. Others force you.to go at 450 feets, and kill you..especially troop transport escorts. Planes are the same. I use also ijn radar fix,.since their sea search radar had a limited effect against subs. I founded a balance with that mods. While i started months ago play rfb thinkin to a historic ai, i found that wasnt so. Oftrn, also in 41, you.met the elute crew.that force you to dive at 350-400-450 ft, or kill you even. The scouts sometime dont see you (like in reality. But if they see you, often they dont attack. Simply report your pos. And an hunter killer group, present from 41, arrive. Once a pilot that live near my home, an old man, that in ww2 was a scout here in adriatic sea, and sunked an uboot after the armistice, because that uboot torpedoed a tanker in front of my home, the wreck is here,12 miles from the coast,80 meters deep. He was called by the sos. Arrived he dropped 2 depth charges, the boat remained at periscope depth leaking fuel, and bubbles, and later disappeared for ever.....it is there. But no one dare to visit it. It is considered a grave. Well this man told that when you fly in sea, the brain start to joke sometime. And you.dont see something. Often the submarines spotted the scouts, but the scouts.didnt spotted the subs.). So i was surprise to find such level of difficult for rfb. But i liked it. I dont like.much a too high.level. once i did like. Now i prefer just a little lower level. But not an easier, or an historical one (you.know. 150 ft....but from 44 they kick hard. The grand escort fleet.) Btw also in rfb (i used it with guerrilla spyron mod.) the escorts sunk alone sometime. For the rough sea. While they hunt you, 1-2-3-4-5 destroyers sunk. Ahahh

UZO
I'm on a S-class boat and the UZO doesn't rotate between 100-260 degs.Is that intentional?

For v0.45 we're concentrating on campaign stuff. Although testers are not having problems with it, we're finding that even the stock game is riddled with campaign errors that impact game performance. Anybody notice the quicker loading times over previous versions? That's because the Three Horsemen of the Apocalypse, s7rikeback, propbeanie and cdrsubron7 have done incredible work rooting out the errors that Jeff-Groves put them on the scent of. And Florida Sailor works in the background there too. Believe it or not they're halfway through. Then we have missing textures (special Japanese night camo!), enemy AI, sub physics, surprise tester finds and whatever else blows our skirts up. All the while we can't let the mod get any bigger. That means fixing it takes precedence over applying band-aids.

You'll find this on all subs. The American TBT (Target Bearing Transmitter) was placed on the front of the Conning Towers bulkhead. You only get to look forward with the device since looking rearward would put you over the side of the Tower, standing in mid air.

On the TBT, the Capn put stops on the rotation mechanism. But with binoculars, you're perfectly free to scrutinize the conning tower through your binoculars. Either way, nine years of x-ray vision has been nuked! Fall of the Rising Sun Ultimate Edition has another tic on its hitlist.
