No Probs - just started a fresh campaign and I'm building a new fleet using your YT guides. Although...the starting point of 1930 in your vids and the in the latest version of the game are different. Not as much tech available in my 1930 version of the world. Sonar and stuff like that arent as readily available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonar and stuff like that arent as readily available Yeah some of the tech years are shifted, but as well the tech is randomised at the start of your campaign a bit so you're never sure exactly what techs will be available.

RattyB Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Got my fleet built (I cant tell you how great it is that you've fixed the pitch and balance settings on the hulls!) and I'm into a campaign using the mod. It's a much 'cleaner' game and less dithery game to play so far! Keep up the good work. I've been waiting years for something come along that was as good as Fighting Steel (now there was a game that was infested with bugs - but it had great GP), and UAD looks to be it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamb Chop Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Hello brothermunro, thank you for your work, however about the invisible ships... I just had an invisible Enemy DD, and several other occasions, I am afraid the cause is not the smoke since I am running the latest version 1.31 I believe Also, for the note, lack of smoke makes the DD's and CL's to a certain degree capital ship bait.We may not like it but it is valid game mechanic. With your changes, game has become as simple as bigger ship wins, you have no counters with smaller tonnage. My views ofc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brothermunro Posted January 28 Author Share Posted January 28 Yeah I’m aware the pesky invisible ships are back. Smoke definitely made the problem worse but I’m still unsure as to why it is happening - once I fix it I’ll put the smoke back in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamb Chop Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I remember, distinctly, you mentioned changing the value of smoke visibility, or the effect of smoke on the visibility, That might be a starting point... Also, when modding, how did you change the stability of the hulls? I had tried to do the same thing before starting with your mod but I just didn't have the time to see it through.

brothermunro Posted January 28 Author Share Posted January 28 Oh I used the component weights from NAR (thanks @Obakan !) which in addition to being more historically accurate are also much easier to build with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brothermunro Posted January 30 Author Share Posted January 30 New version out! v1.4.0 Boosted gas turbines hp/ton to 210 and their funnel capacity boost to 110, increased cost/ton to compensate for this (overall cost should be similar). Normalised the modern battleships, modern battlecruisers, super battleships, and modernised dreadnoughts stats to improve balance Made changes to the improved and advanced triple & quad gun techs to make them closer to the performance of twin guns over time Another attempt to fix the invisible ships, adjusting detection modifiers Imported economy and aiming changes from vanilla 1.4.1.1 Opt x1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brothermunro Posted February 6 Author Share Posted February 6 New version of the mod is up 1.5.0 Small changes to aiming & long range accuracy should mean hitting small ships is harder. Another attempt at fixing invisible ships, fixing a possible typo in accuracies. Also updated the ship pack to version 2 with some designs by Darth Vendar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RattyB Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Given that subs have gone a mines reduced, is it worth still fitting out the ships with the depth charges and mines? The extra free weight would be very useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brothermunro Posted February 16 Author Share Posted February 16 I’ve left the components in to make sure that players don’t experience issues if they add DIP to a vanilla campaign (or play a turn on vanilla by accident after an update). Players of course know not to fit them but the AI does anyway which is a slight advantage for the player. Actually that gives me an idea. I might be able to make the weight of the depth charges and mine equipment minimal so the AI isn’t hampered by them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RattyB Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Bugger...it's happened again. I've just updated to the latest version of the the mod, and this time it has wiped out half my campaign fleet and left the remaining handful of ships massively overweight. Which means....back to 1930 I go. All my ships were scratch built by me, using no AI or shared designs, so I'm at a lost to understand what went wrong? Any ideas how I can prevent this happening again when the next update comes out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brothermunro Posted February 17 Author Share Posted February 17 This can happen if you accidentally load a save on vanilla and play a turn or two. Because the game can update without you realising this is very easy to do! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loaded up the campaign I had been playing with the previous version of the mod before the latest one. I'm a bit loathed to try any further updates as they arrived in case the same thing happens? Is there anyway to do a back up before installing the latest version each time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brothermunro Posted February 17 Author Share Posted February 17 Oooff. You’re the first user to report this type of problem so I’m really not sure what’s causing it. I’ll try my best to nail it down ASAP! In the meantime I do only tend to update the mod when the game gets an update, and all the previous versions are on nexus mods. As for backing up yes you can do this if you find the save files (which are in the same place as shared designs App Data/LocalLow/GameLabs/UAD) make a copy and paste them somewhere safe like your desktop.

Now I always check the news page when I start-up to make sure it still mentions the mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RattyB Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Something else Ive found, which may or may not be related to the mod update. I'm at war with only one other country, however I'm getting warnings about negative GDP, which I've never had before. I cant seem to improve it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brothermunro Posted February 18 Author Share Posted February 18 War is very likely to drop your GDP negative as your economy switches gears. You should see a bounce back after the war ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
