Thanks for your comments, sublynx & Sailor Steve!

@sublynx: the tweaks of the SH3 files are only required to hide the true data from the player's view. If you do not pay much attention to this data or don't mind getting some accurate data, you don't have to change any SH3 files to use the mod (or you can only change the *_menu.txt entries).

Concerning overclaiming: The mod actually allows and accepts overclaiming up to a certain degree. Only if you exaggerate it, you will be 'punished' (by getting less renown in renown-based mods). The degree of overclaiming is judged by the tonnage and not the number of ships sunk. You can claim 1000 ships and it's ok as long as the total tonnage is close enough to the 'real' tonnage.

As I said earlier, I think this 'punishment' is neccessary to force the player to report as accurately as possible and to avoid large overclaiming. I know the system is not perfect, but the best I can currently think of. If you have good ideas for a different system, just let me know. The 'BdU AI' can be easily changed

Regards, LGN1
