Which ship looks same as other ship ?
All IJN Destroyer looks different, same to USN DD´s !
Open up your eyes Captain, it could save your life !


@ seaplate hitman

FOTRS V2.0 got many new effects ( red flares fired by sinking ships ), much more ships ( 10 new Merchants ), reworked campaign, better and harder Ki, new Sounds ( Gunsounds, Planesounds and Speachfiles spoken out by your crew ), long range firing BB´s and Cruisers ( firing at good sight over 15.000 Meters ) but FOTRS V2.0 is under construction, not available in the moment.

Would you consider releasing your ten your FOTRS merchants as well!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

[french frog]

hello MadMax

First of all thank you for this achievement very successful, I install and view in the museum no problem, just a note on the DD U.S. lower fluidity of the image


I hope the rest of the project will be of the same quality, restores interest in the game

PS do not pay attention to my syntax I use the French-English translator of Google

I take it just changes the ships and won't effect traffic. I've used a few of your ships in RSRD that weren't included and had to add them in the traffic layers, so I assume these ships that makeover existing ships will just replace the ship and you don't have to add them to traffic. However, I'm not sure all these types exist in RSRD, but I'll check.

Be interesting to know the loadout changes compared to TMO and RSRD and what changes you made to the visuals. With TMO2.1 visuals and gun ranges obvious are adjusted, all ships merchants or warships now shoot at you from longer ranges. DD's and large warships up to 5nms, so wonder if you're is longer range than that.

These look so good, so hope they will work with RSRD. I would love your other merchants even if I have to add them to traffic.

Hi Armistead,

if you get problems with fireranges in TMO its very easy to change the settings to TMO standard.

You only have to give the DD´s the visual sensor from TMO by changing the entrys for the visual ( O01 ) in the sns-file of every DD !
