Hello Laffertytig!
In my opinion if the weather was awful Uboat Commanders would not usually attack. I do not know how difficult was for them to perform an attack in bad weather but it surely was a challenge.
Playing SH3 with the Ubermod installed will make you realise part of this challenge! It is difficult for example to maintain a steady course and you must set your Uboats depth to 11 meters or so to make the use of the attack scope effective. A German commander at a BBCs documentary said that sometimes in bad weather they could see merchant ships moving parallel to the UBoats course but they just couldn't attack them due to heavy seas. Survival was their only care.

OLC, can you tell us if the UZO in RL was like the one in the Ubermod? If not, how did they calculate the targets range while on a surface attack? Maybe an experienced commander could estimate the range by eye(?) I don't know.

This is a minor bug report.
The 205 bearing is shown as 025. Check your bearing indicator if you want.
It might be confusing at times if this is the only bearing the indicator shows.
Check the pic and you'll know.

No it wasn't marked like that, and yes they could estimate the range very well because they would get in very close under cover of darkness. The lines on the UZO are my way of allowing the player to get a reasonably accurate range "estimate" on nearby ships.

As far as I know you should install either OLC GUI Special or OLC GUI, but not both at the same time!

No, don't turn off your virus/firewall.
BTS are still doing site maintenance, or something, anyway downloads have not been working there for some time now.
I dunno what to suggest if your downloads are corrupt. Anyone else got any ideas?

Default Cannot download OLCE2 Corrupt file warnings

Hi there, I just tried again, this time I switched off my firewall and antivirus, no dice Winrar diagnostic tells me there are a number of corrupt files.

When I look into OLCE2 and try to install into my mods folder I get hundreds of corruptfiles notices, just from the one folder others are the same.

Hope you can offer a solution

I don't know what BTS is doing because I can't download anything from there. No matter if I log in or not your files are only shown as a text description. No link to them. Also your section in their forum seems to be flushed of messages. Filefront works perfectly. No corruption.

Have you made sure you're using the latest version of winrar and/or 7zip?
