Found It!: That looks like something off the old single-core 2gig WinXP machine with it's AGP ATI AIW 9600 card from more than three years ago... - Notice my depth there though. From what I remember, there were already two other DD hunting me, and when that fellow got away, that did me in... psychological warfare, ~AND~ ASW...

Explosion Effects - Retraction
I withdraw my minor complaint to Propbeanie regarding the apparent inaccuracy of explosion spouts. After reviewing a number of online examples and close ups in the game, I am now convinced that there is good representation of both "clean" and "dirty" water spouts upon torpedo detonation. I have seen some that were almost all blackish-gray on film, but all in all the mixture in FOTRSU is quite satisfactory. Thanks!

i have had similar experiences and have learned that you need to shoot the higher value target because when one explodes, the explosion will sink the other, but you will get credit for just the one target that you hit and not both.

Re: Question...
Ahoy, team....
Ok, so... I got a question... Here's the dealio.. Before this question, I have My RTB saved, so if needs be, I can back track & just turn down the Gato... That said, Started patrol 6, based out of Freemantle... tooling about in a Tambor class sub (USS Triton, which I got after an exemplary patrol with patrol 3 or 4... 1 of them 2 at any rate... ), managed to complete 4 objectives over all for patrol 6. Ended patrol & based on My record of managing to sink 96k+ tonnage, got a shiny brand new Gato offered up to Me. Of course, I didn't know that it would be the Gato... though, considering I had the Tambor, it was a fairly forgone conclusion... doubt I would get offered up a Sargo or Porpoise... Any who.. Is it normal to get a Gato & get jacked from being based out of Freemantle & shoved into porting out of Pearl.? Date after I got the Gato is... 22/12/42 & haven't gotten too divested in patrol 7 yet.. which the orders I got, was to proceed to area F8 & await further orders... which could be anything I reckon... If Pearl is normal after getting a Gato, while on patrol, is it possible that I may get orders to go to another base or would I have to apply for a trans to another base.? If the latter of those 2 there, what base is considered 'sanitized' as to be safe to do a trans to? (Trans = Transfer) This is the furthest that I have progressed to, thus far... and am kinda sailing uncharted waters, as it were... So... forgive Me the uncertainty here... M. M., Standing by... M. M. p.s. Side note.. Seem to remember someone saying they ran into a Soyo Maru, I believe it was.. & it not looking right... I ran into 1 and everything on My end, looked as it should for it.. both with the Rec manual & the ship... so... not sure what the issue was with it & or how it occurred... for them... *shrugs* I am running with both FotRS v1.39+Nippon Maru add in... as well....

Normally, that type of transfer is reserved for the boats that are being replaced by the Gato-Balao class. you can always request a transfer by using the Telephone icon and if your boat is being based at a different base than where it is today, then you can request a transfer to that base. i don't know what you mean by "sanitize" so i will leave that alone. i hope my bi-furcated response answered your questions. if not, please sanitize them and re-submit.

As for the rest, had thought of those, but just wasn't sure about if Pearl was the default base for getting a Gato off the rip, as it were... On that note, have... noticed something that is extremely odd.. am getting notifications of 'radio messages received' yet when I check the clipboard, nothing is there.. nada.. zip.. zilch... 6 notifications of messages received & not 1 of them are there in the log clipboard, at all..

When I check the log clipboard, where current orders/messages/ships sunk info can be seen after clicking or tapping on the F8 key, will pull that clipboard up to be interacted with... & I go to the messages section... nothing is there... despite having gotten reports of getting them in the grey box... Hopefully, I haven't confused you, by this time.. Have snap shot the pertaining areas & attach them below... Messages reported as having been sent to Me: YET... where are they..??? : D'oh... ne'er mind.. just realized something... Somewhere along the passage of time.. forgot to put it back to showing 'all' messages... ( head bangs My desk.... )

A probable SSF spawned into the warehouses at Takanabe on 2/19/45 @ 1630.
Balao, ex-Saipan, area 6. Maybe these are more general questions than FotRSU specific but... - does having the scope up on the surface increase spotting range? - are there any noise or other penalties for having the torpedo doors open prior to engagement? - is the GQ alarm or doors opening detectable at normal combat ranges?

1 - It should, but no... The sub's "visual" seems to always have the scope up, even when you are submerged. 2 - no, but there should be... they should also close after being open for so long... 3 - not that I am aware of. There should be an algorithm for those though, A person should also be able to call their crew to GQ silently though, it just taking longer to get everyone to their stations... I don't know of any way to hook stuff like that though. |

Thanks, PB.
I posted too quickly: there are a sunken gunboat and an inland MMSF at Miyazaki too. |

On the aspect of the Tambor... can see of looking more into that & see what the date for it was... & report back on that... Think that was like.. sometime around May-July of '42... as I started off in the Sargo with 12/41 start as per normal. Normal being like the 8th or 9th of Dec. right after the attack on Pearl. I know of doing at least 2 if not 3 patrols in the Sargo, then got the message of getting a new boat offer... but no later than the 3rd patrol... as best as I can recollect right off hand. Really miss being able to start the week before (roughly) with fred8615's Pre Pearl mod... but.. *sighs* it is what it is... unless y'all would like to investigate it's inclusion into FotRS.. no pressure or rush.. just something to consider, as to give the option to start right before the attack at Pearl. post edit... Ok, checked & was right after patrol 3, end date of 04/30/42 new command 05/01/42... Tambor class boat... Quote:
Do remember seeing when I tried running in an S class, of a sort of convoy near Manilla, that I ran into.. 1/2 warships & 1/2 merchie's... 1st run in with them... got orders to sink the merchie's.. only... the 2nd time I attempted a career in a 'sugar' boat.. when I ran into that self same group.. the orders came in attack & sink whatever... as I recall... Long/short of it.. both times I ended up fish food, along with the crew... (S class, is not easy.. & I tip Me hat to the guys who did so, back then... mucho respecto... ) I sorta... had it slip My ol' beat up, dusty, cob web ridden rusty hd of a brain pan, to remember to manually change the setting to all messages... chalk it up to.. a brain fart moment... M. M.
