WAC 5.0 Preview Thread
 

Hi sailors!

Since I decided to update the WAC 4.1 mod to 5.0 I recently created a thread to ask you about possible features.
Some features can be done... some not. :arrgh!:
To get a better overview of the coming WAC 5.0 features I will post news of developement here on the first page and upcoming new features.

I do not know when it will be released as I also have family and a job in regular life which also needs time.

Here we go:

Feature I: Improved U-boat Interior

Perfect.
If additional to that you give the game a hard AI I will give it a try.

Epic list of mods. WAC 5 will be a good reason for me to retire my GWX install. :salute:

Hans - does the radio mod mean you've managed to determine access and control of the radio system, or are they entries in the messages_de/en files?

Just a few entries.

He's asking you if you have managed to tap into the actual creation of messages in memory as the game is running. Or did you just add entries to the en_messages.txt, etc... files?

Yes, my apologies if that was not clear - areo16 is correct.

What is atlantic gap ??

@ExFischermanBob

I understood, but I only meant that I will make encrypted commando messages in the text files.

@Fahnenbohn

Stahlsarg-Tobi posted the following in the WAC 5.0 update thread:
"More allied Planes with the correct range?(Better modelling of the gap in the Atlantic in way the war goes because i do'nt remember being attacted
by planes out of the coastel waters,but this is perhaps my Problem,never played a campaign after 1943."

So if this is a problem I will do some work.

Re Atlantic Gap
 

Hi Fahnenbohn the Atlantic Gap was a area of Ocean in mid atlantic that Allied Aircraft could not reach but the uboats could & did
long range aircraft were in short supply like Halifax's and the new Lancaster RAF Bomber Command Wouldn't Release there so called Heavys
the B-24 Liberators USA needed them in the Paciffic things slowly improved when escort carriers arrived in fall of 1942/43
but other aircraft were allocated to Coastal Command like the Avro Anson Lockheed Hudson Armstrong Whitworth Whitley
Check your SH3 Documents Folder take a look at the SH3 Map Aircraft ranges by year are displayed

Water streams are beautiful on this picture, aren't they, Hansolo ? ;-)

@Fahnenbohn
Sure.. but that is SH4 hm?

2nd this! :up:

But what about Anvarts MODS FuMo30 up/down and Radar Antenna up/dow? :hmmm:
