Nice... I know there is a USS Stingray one (done based off the sub in the movie, Down Periscope... *Balao class skin*) love the look of the sub skin... just not 100% crazy about the menu alterations, though. Not sure what would all need to be drop kicked out, leaving the mod still useable though... or how to make sure that it was able to be used with any mod set, like... FotRS or TMO or RSRD... so... just gonna by pass that 1 in particular.

With the skin for the Tench, would love to use that Shark's mouth 1... but am not sure if all the bugs & kinks of the Tench have been fully ironed out yet, or not...

I know I saw something about there still being issues with it, but... BUT... I do admit that was a bit back, that I recall seeing that mentioned. haven't seen anything to indicate that the issues were worked on or fixed fully... if they can be. I know that some issues despite a modders best efforts, won't be able to be 100% fully resolved... all that can be done is to mitigate them, as best as can be.

yes I fear an error of the Mad mardigan water spray has reasons ... it seems

The Tench is like the Balao, and not just in FotRSU, but anytime you get the boat too early, it trashes the game, due to so many aspects of the sub not being available, including an active home port, as WH4K found (I think it was him) because he got the boat in March instead of late August...

Yes I must admit that I cheated ... by starting a campaign to obtain the class tench in order to try this skin.
ah yes I had to think of the 4k skins which could pose problem I believe that to obtain this effect so much to seek .... it must be an integral part of the skin. Besides, the skin that I tried a while ago was built like this ... but I remember more exactly ... I would have to research
but it seems to me to have already seen this work .. is I even have to have it in my modding archives anyway I find it strange that it breaks the game ... thank you propbeanie for these details ... so my test is n not valid ... vickers won't yell at me respect greetings to both of you

[propbeanie]

For a Tench test, just do a January 1945 or March 1945 start, and you should be able to see it just fine. The Balao would be a Fall of 1943, but I don't think I put one of those in... - or do a Single Mission after their effective dates...

Ahoy, all...

After 2 patrols, of which on the 2nd was able to finally bag some targets.. My boat (USS Spearfish - SS-190) is able to proudly add & display her accomplishments...



4 merchie's & 3 warships (destroyer escorts, but warships none the less ).

Will need to see of grabbing the latest update for the mod... but will do so shortly.

Of note, any plans to round out the kill flags.. as I noticed there were some... gaps as to the number of kills, or would additionals need to be looked at for us users to fill in the gaps as with the Capt.'s quarters (editing them as was advised/recommended)with the interior mod, vickers03.. just asking... as I am curious to know what your thoughts are on that.

Am loving the ability to add a touch of color to our boats with the hard work you put in with this mod & want it known that I do appreciate it very much...

Thanks for your efforts on this, vickers03.

i'm not sure what you mean?

hy ... propbeanie I tried everything you told me .. nothing worked with USS Torsk ... I can't see .... with Redfin; Kraken; Camotri; no problem!!!

The Redfin has a great career ... I know very little about the history of American submarines ... but it looks really fascinating to me once again I don't regret taking an interest in this kind of game.

Camotri (this one does not seem realistic to me but gives it diversity)

Kraken

Ok, will see of making this part clearer.. even on rereading it Myself, I can see where it might lead to confusion & for that, My apologizes vickers03.

Ok, with the Capt.'s quarters name tag (found in the interior mod you also did), you gave info on how to go about editing that texture item... editing or rounding out this mod was where that was in reference to...

As it is, after 8 kill selection in the ships sunk folder, it jumps up from 8 to 12.. with no 9, 10, 11 in between those. Just as that is there between kills 8-12, it is also repeated yet again with a jump from 12-16 & again 16-20 & finally 20-24.

Of course, I do know & understand that, at some point in time, as a skipper, that there will be a transit from 1 sub, to another.

So, with not having 9, 10, 11, kill flags, as well as 13, 14, 15... 17, 18, 19... & finally 21, 22, 23.. would the use of the editing you outlined in the interior mod, be doable in the interim to fill in those missing kill count flags... or is it better to wait for you with a future update that includes them.?

(Am hoping for the latter as being done, cause I will admit... with doing the editing on the Capt.'s name plate in the interior mod... I got it done, but.. it wasn't easy... I am, Myself, more of a user of mods than a tinkerer of files & such.. think of Me as more of a... willing crash test dummy, if ya will.

If it helps advance & make things better, I'm more than happy to deal with goofs, errors, things going wrong, knowing that all of it is for a greater good... making something good, even better, vickers03 bud )

Hope this helps for better clarity on what I was asking here...

I thought you meant the emblem problem.

And yes i have the splash problem, too. it would be normal without shark mouth~

Ahoy, Kal_Maximus_U669...

With My post about the Tench, that was with what I knew of as it pertained to older info... of which I admit, I haven't kept up with in regards to issues that were found with that sub.

Which was partly what I was trying to find out, was if those issues had been resolved, or mitigated to a minimum at least.

As It goes, I haven't really tried doing a career with a Tench, preferring instead to start from jump street & work My way up. Call Me, old fashioned , if you will, in starting from the bottom & clawing my way to the top.

I know I could well jump the line but... that pesky belief system kicks My aft quarters & says... what do you think you're doing, get back to the end of the line & progress like you know you should...

So, I haven't tested out the Torsk, sorry...

warmest regards, Kal_Maximus_U669

good very well that avoids the reinstall
I think that for this to work perfectly, the nose art must be .. complete skins ... without the victorys no emblems

hy Mardigan you are right "there is no point in running, you have to start on time":en haut: ... we know the problem .. so he just has to solve it ... once again this skin must be built in one piece j I'm almost sure ... and these problems will be resolved !!!! Greetings & respect are the key words here.
