AI U-boats (Wolfpacks) - Can they join me in combat?

[XenonSurf]

Hello,

I've been playing SH3 with GWX and WAC5 for some time, but I don't know exactly if AI Subs are implemented in these mods to join a player during campaign to combat the convoys. For example, you spot a convoy, send a report message and you are ordered to wait for other subs to join you.

The GWX manual talks about the AI sub type XXIII as a new added feature, in WAC5 I simply don't know.
Even if there are AI subs, do they have any 'Wolfpack' behavior, that is: Can they support the player by attacking a spotted convoy?


Are there other mods that will do that in SH3 and compatible with GWX or WAC5?
Thanks for a feedback!

I know that adding H.sie patch to GWX will bring Wolf Pack in its options.

For WAC i think it’s implemented, but at a given date...or is it in SH5? I forgot

Thanks very much, Fifi, I will take a look at the H.sie patch.


Yes, in SH5 there are indeed wolfpacks and you can do the scenario I tell above by reporting convoys. I have never been in that situation however, so I dont' know how Wolfpacks play in SH5.

For GWX get the Stiebler add-on for GWX 3. It has all the needed file modding done already.
Sorry, don't have a link for it though. But it's labeled GWX_Stiebler4B_Addon_for_V16B1.
Think I got it from his folder at markman's site, not sure.

Very interesting, John, thanks very much. That's more I have hoped for


Happy times in Subsim!

To be clear, you would still use Hsie's patch, with this on top of that. It also provides every other option of his (Stiebler's) patch for GWX without all the editing mentioned in his instructions.
And the needed wolfpack files that need editing mentioned in Hsie's instructions, have already been done by Stiebler and placed in his patch.
