Default Anyone using Mod FOTRS I have Questions

I have been looking for a post about what this mod changes.

Seems to be MUCH more realistic and harder.

Thank you for any input!

Are you referring to FOTRS, or FotRSU? Fall of the Rising Sun (FOTRS) was the original from the AOTD_MadMax team, and was based on TMOv1.7. Fall of the Rising Sun Ultimate (FotRSU) is a re-vamping of the various FOTRS mod releases into one version, with further additions. The first post of the Fall of the Rising Sun Ultimate, full release Has a lot of details on FotRSU. Just click on the "Spoiler" boxes tags to see verbosity reign supreme before your very eyes... - also, in the mod's Support folder as well as its sub-folders are quite a few pdf files with details of various aspects of the mod, as well as research done for the mod.

Let me start by saying......


The immense amount of work going into this is staggering!

They claim the mod makes the game easier not harder.

Well I gave up the stock SH4 Campaign and over 400k sunk to run this.

I think it is quite a bit harder now.

Got sunk by 2 Zeros Could not dive in time.

Hit a Japanese BB with 4 torps it did not sink FYI.

Tin Cans came and promptly sank me while running silent and deep.

Had to reload from saves both times.

So I say it is harder than stock!

Hi Wolfar,

I only started playing SH4 a few days ago. I've been playing the SH1 sim for the last 4 years.

There is an addon pack for the FOTRSU v1.8 mod you have that has many mini-mods attached- letting you pick more gameplay options, such as a more or less experienced enemy; along with few duds, medium duds, and many dud torpedoes, and other options. Look for this file in the mods downloads:

F101_FotRSUv18_FixPak

Enjoy!

Jeff

Again, first page of the FotRSU Release thread, 2nd posting AddInModzPak_FotRSUv18 (mis-labeled in the thread title as v17).
