Any way, there is the link to s7rikeback's repository, in case any one else may have need for it. It's pretty well straight forward laid out for use... M. M.

maybe a better question would be: do you have a priority list of things that you want poked/prodded/tested? 4 yrs x 9 boats x how-many-bases makes for a lot of variables. give me a starting point and let the experiences begin!!

Looks like I may consider unloading my current FoTRSU campaign (6 patrols completed - a record for me) and load up GFO as my 'test bench project' for Commander T.E. Sting. I've really enjoyed my current camp but I would like to see some adjustments. Small things like uniform adjustments (dungarees on all enlisted, chiefs, as well - no rank markings - especially the E-1 to E-3 hashes that didn't exist in WWII). If GFO ever employs the extended interior (officer and chief country) - no E-6 and below laying on those bunks. Medals that don't include the Pacific Campaign Medal which was a 'participation trophy.' Functionality, I would like to see gun upgrades that are complete with slots that can be filled by crew. Other upgrades should cosmetically display properly.
And, of course I'd like to see the game function normally, both within physical parameters and within timeline appropriateness. But what I will settle for is what we currently have. It's a contentment versus desire thing.

To add a bit to Arlo's comments here, adjustment to the clothing, crew markings like the hash slash marks while I know more along the line of cosmetics, should do to stand with correcting. In addition, the giving orders, like ahead 1/3, 2/3 in the sounds section could stand a bit of tweaking . I know there was some sound add ins that added to the atmosphere when diving & surfacing. The only downside to that, was of their being done up for FotRS. So, having GFO adapted to be used with, or more correctly before FotRS would be something to see of adjusting. That's of course a high rated polite suggestion, not to be taken as a shake My fist demand... I seem to recall another subsimmer releasing a DC mod that was a 2 parter, in that 1 set of files & such for the IJN to be using type 93(?) DC's then the 2nd 1/2 being activated after 08/ of '43, of using type 2 DC's.. if I am remembering the details right. The sink rate was slower for 1 of the type DC's used... whereas the other being heavier, had a faster sink rate. (On this, I haven't yet sustained a DC attack, to be able to adequately see if that is something that may need tweaking or not, but.. should be something for others to bear in mind to keep an eye out for & on.. when they're testing. Just a suggestion.) That's all that comes to mind off the top of My head. I'll chime in, if anything else comes to mind while testing. M. M.

i d/l to look it over but never implemented it because i have v1.5. it appears that Werner touched the .zon file of just about every ship in the Sea Folder as well as Zones.cfg. performing the same task with some of the mega-mods and their expanded ship types would be a herculean task, imho. so, if you are looking for a herculean task to perform, re-do Natural Sinking Mechanics for FOTRSU.

That was about the IJN & the different type depth charges that was used by them. The Type 93 depth charge then the Type 2 depth charge. I will have to reopen the mod to review the read me that they included with the mod, but.. if memory serves Me right on it... I think the Type 93 was used from the onset of the IJN opening up with their conquest of China & carried through to the U.S getting bombed & onward to I believe August of '43. When they then swapped to the type 2 which, again if memory serves Me well, shipmate. the type 2 was a heavier beast than the earlier on used type 93. I stand corrected, it was Type 95, not 93. With the Type 95, it was the lighter of the 2 different depth charges. The Type 2 was made to be heavier, given that the Type 95 was slow in dropping to the 2 different depths it could be set to. (100 & 200 meters, respectively) With the Type 2 being heavier was designed to make it more difficult to evade its destructive reign of terror. The mod in question was done by Bubblehead1980 & is his baby. M. M.

Can anyone remember if GFO had that gazillion destroyer glitch where they sailed around the world for ever and ever, I remember FotRS had it as well at one point but GFO? it was too long ago for me to remember a little thing like that.
