Thanks a lot. That sound's pretty interesting.
Since I'm not to familiar with the earlier versions: from the list of mods it seems several files that were altered are also in use by Rub, so can it be adapted for use with RUb and HT?

Thanks.

[Salvadoreno]

*bump* .. i dont know how to use that, but i assume it means that i agree with guy on top. I have same questions. Rub 1.45 and HT compatible?

I'm feeling a little negative. It looks like some of the changes are similar to what's already been done in other mods.

One question though: why change the Type II torpedo load from 5 to 6? Because it was that way in Aces Of The Deep? Aces had that wrong-they only carried 5 that I know of.

Yep, you are right and yes some Mods are old ! This isn´t a first release from us.
The Typ IID Submarine have 5 Torps. The most changes in this Modpack are individuell for our Onlinkampagne, this is one of them.

-Soundfix 1.0 (Fangschuss)
+Detroyer can be heared earlier
+Sinking of ships can be heared better
+Opening of muzzle valve can be heared better
+Torpedo firing can be heared better

Nice one

[Marhkimov]

Does anyone know if the TypeII really had 5 or 6 torpedoes?

Just curious...

[Panama Red]

One of the U-Boat books I have shows it with 6 torps, so I was wondering this myself ??? :hmm: :hmm: :hmm:

That may be different dependant on which type of typeII

Agreed. I'm downloading it for those changes if nothing else.

[Jungman]

The download link is not working.

Is this the same as the full 350 MB German version?

Sailor Steve, it does look a little like change for change's sake here and there. but it seems to me the more mods the merrier. today i decided to rip IuB off and reload the single mods on according to my own whims. heck, i even plan to bump up the points for killing ships so i can ignore those stupid 'AN##' zones - assigned by that Romanian, Admiral Dunkoff. meaningless patrols in areas often devoid of shipping. :P infact i am looking into just reassigning all the patrols to dummy zones right outside my bases, so i can go to the zones i want.

Here is an alternative link. Our traffic has reached its limit, so we had to search for an alternative.
