This program successfully works from April 2015 in KSD mod on SH-4. This weekend I modified the program to support SH-5 once tried The Wolves of Steel modpack. I am very impressed with how modders have transformed this game

I am russian speaking. Sorry for my english.

The program has 3 tabs:

Statistics

The program reads your saves and forms statistics. You can submit your statistics to the server, if desired. In this case, you will be able to compare your results with results of other players, as well as choose a photo for your captain, to write his biography and diaries.
You can select photos to your captains from 260 available. It's all photos of real U-Bootwaffe captains. And the photo that you choose for your captain will be not available to select by other players.
If you play dead is dead format, you can specify the date of the death of your captain. After that, his stats will not updated, even if you continue to play.






Bar

At the bar you can:
1) Listen to the music that is played in the same folder as the gramophone in the game.
2) Read the newspapers. The papers are published as the main events on the fronts and achieving players. If you are sinking this month more than others will certainly write about you. Do not leave without attention sinking enemy battleships or aircraft carriers.
3) To share practical advice to other players or to read their tips.





Settings




Installation

1) Download the archive.
2) Extract files to the root folder of the game.
3) Start KSDCommander.exe. Optionally create a shortcut on the desktop and in the future to run the game through this program. In this case, your statistics will be regularly updated on the server.


Security

1) This is the exe file. Any exe file could potentially be a virus or some other malicious program. Here above all a question of confidence to the author. Author in this case I do. And with all responsibility I declare that I am not ******* writing malware.
Many comrades (in the screenshot above shows) installed the program and published its statistics on the server. Monitors have not failed to explode, and the disk is not formatted )
2) The program does not delete or modify your saved. It only reads them.
3) To submit your statistics to the server requires registration and authorization. Registration is simple. You do not need any confirmation via Email and other garbage. Simply enter in the appropriate fields username (preferably nickname with a forum for awareness) and password of 4-20 characters. In no case do not use passwords that you use in other programs or websites.

Awesome!

As a bonus, i am currently reading book about Wolfgang Luth (i play often realtime thanks to it ) and according to his career TWOS campaign seems very realistic to me.
He also started in north sea/baltic sea and in coastal waters area.

If someone knows where could i buy this book in english translation, please let me know.
Its written by Wolfgang Luth at 1943 and its about my favourite part of sub-war (1939+).
Many informations about conwoy attacks from that book i read right now refer to this one.

Sorry for off topic

If you have some thread about how to work with TDC in TWOS it would be appreciated.

I saw some (i think best) YT videos, but it says nothing about how to solve trigonometry issues with it.
I expected that i can set my calculated solution for 90 degrees hit if available and then fire anytime i want as i keep ship on crosshair, but obviously it doesn't work like that.

This TDC is much more manual - you need rather to perform shot in the same angle for which you did TDC settings (it does not count triangle even if you set angle on bow).
Otherwise it should dynamically recalculate "current" ship distance as you move periscope.

you mean 3 torps? Or 2? How distance? How angle +- between torpedos? How successful you would say you are in percentage?

To be honest i am definitely not successful, it looks like ships are maneuver before hit, but it doesn't look like that and i am very paranoic in behavior, so i dont think they are seeing me.

I've been trying to find a download for WOS 1.05. I was able to download update 5, but the actual mod is throwing errors at the mediafire download link.

I'm trying to update from 1.04, but this is a wrench in the plans.

Can anyone point me in the direction of working links?

Thanks!
