Type IX U-Boat mod help

Cybermat47 · 08-06-12, 10:17 PM

I noticed that a lot of people have been wanting a type IX uboat in this game. Even though I'm happy destroying the entire British merchant fleet in my type VII, I've decided to help a little.
Here are some of the specs:
Deck gun-10.5 cm, 110 rounds
Torpedo tubes-6,2 stern, 4 bow
Test depth-230 metres (750 feet)
Torpedoes-22 (A,B,C,C/40) 24 (type D)
AA- various, most commonly 20mm to 37mm

There is also a good-looking mod out there that gives your type VII the fuel and torpedoes of a type IX.
Anybody can contribute to this thread, images would help the person trying to make a IX the most!

Theres a great TV movie out there called the sinking of the Laconia, and a large portion of it is set on a type IX U-boat (U-156)
Could be a good starting point

Er... don't really know how to tell you, but that's not the help they need. Every modder knows perfectly well how a Typ-IX looked like. The problem is it's a HUGE work to make a 3D model and get it into SH5. They tried to import the SH4 models but they are very different so it might even be better to make one from scratch.

So, your energy is awesome

but that's not the problem at all. Lots of us would love to see a Typ-IX in SH5 but _if_ we ever get to see it, it won't be in a short time, at all... sorry to carry the bad news!

Come on Ubisoft bring out a DLC with the IX boats, yea it may end in 1943 but im sure they have heard of open horizons 2 so make the DLC for that mod at least

Don't worry, I'm glad your being honest with me. I've heard about a Silent Hunter 4 mod called Wolves of the Kaiser were they turned a campaign in the Pacific into the First Battle of the Atlantic. The guys who made that might be working on a IX (RIGHT GUYS,RIGHT?)but Silent Hunter 5 is more complex and...***t!

SH5 uses the Granny system for storing 3D model data. That is the big obstacle with SH5. The only non-commercial software that can even begin to edit these files (that I know of) is my GR2 Editor/Viewer WIP.

There is a mod about this, it changes the type VII specifications to a IX boat

the exterior and interior model is a VII boat .

i think that a good way to the first Ix mod is change the external model an use the VII interior. but it requires advanced skills in 3d modelling, have the correct tool and deal with granny files.

here is

Is there a commercial software that can edit those files?
