The Add On is a foundation upon which some great things can be built. Judge it six months from now.

There is no "play as Japan" option, nor a Japanese speechpack or crewpack........... yet- but this is a matter of time once the mods get to work.

You have a darn good point here GerritJ9. Imagine if you will, doing just that in the ladder part of the war. Set up IXD2 as Japanese boats. Perhaps a talented modder could create a voice pack in Japanese. This would be very cool.

His post has great comedic value.

But he's right, I can't even find the head in this foreign contraption. What's German for "ice cream machine?" Can't get the PK on this crazy TDC to work and I can't find any radio stations. Just don't get in my way, I can't find the brakes either.

The first thing to fix in this add-on is the availabilty to us lesser beings. Hell to even find it much less buy it.

Jeez.

Correct me if I'm blind, but for the screenies posted of the IX/2 sub it's equiped with the balkongerat hidrophone, which can detect contacts while the sub is surfaced.

I'm thinking so. But, like the Fleet Boats, it is just a bit too good on the surface, in game that is.

But someone buy DJFL a copy and send it to him!!!!! Dan, how best to make this happen?

I just went and edited my sensors file to stop the hydrophone calls. They were intolerable (not to mention useless)

Sounds like a day at the office to me

Gee, If RR is serious it's sure is a nice gesture. If it is possible I don't mind paying for it.

In fact I'd pay anyone nice enough to burn all great mods on a disc and send it to me.
