U-boat Addon gave me some real fun, and I don't miss my 10$)) But this is not a simulator. It's closer to Enigma Rising Tide I guess. Picking hydrophone contacts on flank speed (21 kts for IXD2.. nice diesels!) from 20-25 km is like radar-sonar device in ERT. GHG set has also Balkongerat included (on the model). So there's no reason actually to upgrade - you will lose upwater detection "ability"))

Also I noticed some bug, maybe it's already spoken in this thread - my IXD2 dived to 280 (!) meters without any problems. On 290 meters 3% of hull were gone, than all became quiet again)) I believe if germans could have such an uberboat in 1943, they can win a battle of atlantic))

PS: 400 000 tons of shipping per 3 patrols, including two Battleships and one carrier. Realism settings - only with external view turned on.

PPS: I also wonder, why supply tanker have so many torpedoes to refit me)) I did it few times per one mission. But I really like new concept of "send status - receive new objective" mission.

I love SH4 more now, but this is not a simulator more)) Until some things aren't fixed. Now it's modders turn!
