[REL] The Battle for the Baltic

DarkFish · 01-08-10, 07:03 PM

great mod - while nearing my patrol area I was surprised to find myself ambushed by 2 torpedo boats steaming towards me at full speed. Before I knew it half the Finnish fleet steamed towards my position, and with my "always attack"-philosophy it's needless to say I didn't last long

I was also pleasantly surprised to find my AI torpedo launchers on them - but used in a slightly incorrect manner as they are visible and too close to the ship.
To make the launchers invisible again, open Data\Library\ShipParts\torpspawngun.dat and uncheck the 'Visible'-box on each node.
Also, I advise you to move the launchers a little further off the ship, or the torpedoes will not launch correctly (if at all).
Poul, maybe you could fix this in a follow up version?

Yeah I just got jumped by two of those suckers, barely 25km from leaving port. Seems by the time your watch crew spot the they are really close. And they're fast eh?
I'm not complaining - keeps me on my toes!

Really a great Mod. But what a Horror-Job, you have to be "Warschau" the hole time, no realax, no time for a friendly talk with neighbours................
amazing, thank you all for this journey.

UPDATE: I have just had a conversation with Poul via PM.
The team are planning Part 2 which will cover Soviet naval operations in the Black Sea.
But first they want to finish Part 1. They will be making Soviet uniforms, medals and awards, co-ordinates for maps, periscopes, submarine interiors. A lot of work, but I have high hopes for the team, the work they have already done is very good.

I myself am working to translate the mission orders into English, which will be ready for release soon. Then I will move onto the radio messages. Very important for immersion, but man it's a long and tedious job! I also may do a quick overhaul for the office to make it feel less like you are sitting in an office at Pearl.

I think this mod has great potential, and am glad to be involved in it in my small way.

Any idea if they are planning to make German or Finnish sides playable?

I don't think they have any plans for that at the moment. The amount of work they have before them is immense. Maybe once the whole project is finished it could be altered to do this. But such a thing would be a long time in the future.

I am creating a Finnish Campaign for SH3, if that interests you.
After starting my British Campaign, I decided it would be good to have a whole Atlantic and Baltic Campaign Mod (AABCM) series. So far, I have Britain and Finland under construction, Latvia and a few more, including the US.

In case some of you guys know Russian, you can join to the "open beta test" of the Soviet Waterway add-on (literal translation), BfB sequel. Here is the link: http://www.sukhoi.ru/forum/showthread.php?t=76423 Download installer and run it, choose your OS and game root folder (game folder should be detected automatically), press install, activate it via JSGME. We haven't tested the mod with other mods, so activate them on your own risk. In spite of the installer is in Russian, it should be pretty clear what you need to do.
Briefly about some features:
- new campaign,
- new highly detailed M class submarine (type M VI-bis series, learn more),
- new locations, ships etc.

Sergei
Thank you so much! I got my first kill this morning.

It is so much harder, the AI ships see the torpedo almost all the time and manage to avoid it.

A couple of notes, 1/3 and 2/3 ahead in russian are mixed up. The M-type's flak gun looks more like arti, I wasn't able switch to AA shells. Anyone else noticed the same?

I wish to praise you for that that you have dared not transfer of it mod. Works will be much as also changes which prepare in the first SP. We unfortunately did not manage to find the person which undertook a translation into English.

I am sorry for my bad English

Thank you.

Silly me, I thought it was fixed in 1.1. Oh well, off I go to kick some Finnish rear.

Poul noticed this and released an updated version of the sound mod that corrected this.
