[REL] Trigger Maru Overhauled Update BH

[Mad Mardigan]

Ok, took a bit of poking about... (somehow I squirreled away that copy in a different folder... seems I had a couple of SH4 mods stuck in another folder, in that folder I had the Ubi copy tucked off in... still have a lot of work to rebuild My SH mods collection I used to have, before My ext. HD gave up the ghost, no warnings... of impending doom... ) but found the copy I have from Ubi...

& there is only just the 1 Gato folder...

NSS_Gato

On that note.. have deleted/stricken the extraneous NNS_Gato from My modded SH4 & as well from the Steam copy.

I shall go before the navy board for summary 1K lashes with a wet noodle...

Glad you figured it out.

Everyone,

Did a little revision to the README for the TMO 2.5 Update. Also included the version of EAX Sound sim I use with the mod.

Have to say, outstanding work Bubblehead. The darker nights are truly a gamechanger. Was just transiting Yakushima strait where a subchaser was patroling at dusk in SIlversides (Jan 43). Waited for darkness and began transit on surface with no issues (had to dive in the end, as she changed course and went static, bringing us too close for surface sneaking. Had to go silent and passed her to starboard at 1500 yds). Really enjoying it

Thank you, glad are enjoying it.

Nice. Always interesting "running the gauntlet" through straits that are patrolled. Wait until they have radar or you are running through something like Lombok Strait or a place cant dive (mines) like La Perouse lol Makes me tense up and I designed the bloody thing( the patrols) Most of them are random enough, they don't act the same twice, keeps it interesting.


Curious, what assigned area are you en route to ?

Ahoy, Bubblehead...

After the last DM with ya, I decided to forgo an s class career & instead pushed forward on a career in a Sargo, the Seawolf. (SS-197) Am based out of Manilla, though it is early on in the war, got orders to patrol off the East side of Formosa to do a bit of reconnoitering around Hailein... (think I got that recalled rightly as to the name of the port city there... is in the NE quad of Formosa.) Am about 4 days out of base, headed for My patrol area... & had to do a crash dive to avoid a Betty bomber.

Loving the set up...thanks for the hard work & effort you put into it.

Oh man did not mean to warn you off the S-Class lol but was just saying its tougher now, they are no longer the tanks (and cant dive as deep as they used to) they used to be in the sim lol.


Nice. I just start my second patrol in the mod, with a Salmon Class (USS Seal-183) out of the Asiatic Fleet, first patrol was out of Manila. Supposed to start at Cavite but guess I never added the start there, will change it with the forthcoming patch.


Those crash dives when a plane is 5 NM or less, since are without SD radar make for some tender moments eh?

Glad you are enjoying the mod.

COMSUBPAC ordered us to patrol Area 8, south of Bungo Suido for 5 days. Nothing found during that period except for a few fishing junks.


Got subsequent orders to move to Area 8. Once there was told to find 'em and sink 'em. Thats when I headed through the strait with intentions of trawling off the Kagoshima bay entrance. Few subchasers, a small DE, and an H8K or two out there, but no shipping. Avoided the patrols submerged by day, on the surface at night. One night, thought I was detected at about 7000 yards but outran it, leaving her ziging around searching.

Decided to act on my own now, in search of big fish out in Convoy College. Ill be there in a few days game time.



Another cool add, actually having Sofu Gan out there is a cool surprise. Felt like i was finding the Dutchman again.

That is surprising, Area 8 is a pretty busy area for most of the war, Singapore-Home Islands and several other convoys lanes converge there for approaches to Bungo Suido. You are in January 1943 if I recall? Checked the file, yea a lot of traffic but judging from your description, probably were not far enough out to sea. Should definitely have better luck in Luzon Strait.


I probably need to do an intel file (README) with coordinates of shipping lanes. In future patch will adjust the patrol are marker to the proper location, the current one is the default TMO marker.
