Editing/Enhancing the Type II

[Deathfrombelow23]

Is there anything that can be done to edit the range of the Type IIA? I love the way the IIA's conning tower looks compared to the IID, but I love the extended range (surfaced and submerged) of the IID. Is there anyway that I can edit the .cfg file so that my IID has the conning tower of a IIA or so that my IIA has the range (surfaced & submerged) of a IID? If so, please explain how I would do this. I am only a "noob" when it comes to computers and editing the files for a game of this magnitude. Thanks in advance Kaleuns!!

P.S. I would LOVE to add the 3.7 cm heavy flak to my type II. Any way that this can be done? I've tried playing around with files and editing so much with no luck, that I had to reinstall the game and patch it to 1.4 then add GWX 2.0. :damn: At one point, all the VIIC's in the game had IIA conningtowers... and they were on BACKWARDS!! :huh: That shows you how bad my program editing skills are.

I think this will be better answered in the Mods Workshop:hmm:... By range, do you mean the fuel limits, etc? If so, can't this be adjusted via the "Realism" option?

IMHO, as much as I love the ducks, turning them into type VII wanna-be's completely kills the realism.

Did you try replacing the ".sim" file of the II A by the one of the II D ? this file contains range and speed values for the boat, I'm not sure about the conning tower but you can give it a try, this time make sure to make backup of the originals ;)
Also in the boat's .cfg file, you can adjust the speed values so that "ahead one third" gives 6 knots surfaced and "ahead slow" gives 2 knots underwater to optimize range

Swapping .sim files will cause you MAJOR problems. Do notattempt it!:nope:

;)

You've been warned.

Apologies if I seemed overly 'pointed'... I just intended to be very clear is all.:up:

Yes, I was referring to the range. I guess I'm just partial to the side profile of the IIA but I like the range of the IID. I was hoping to combine the two since I am a type II lover. I know, I know... but still. My crew and I find it very cozy and it's a great boat for shallow coastal waters or out in the Western Approaches (IID, at least.) Thanks KL... I did not take your words as harsh. I appreciate you taking the time to answer my question. The same to all the others who answered. Hopefully I can figure out what to do and make it work. Any further suggestions would be appreciated.
Are their any other Kaleuns out there who have done cool things to their Type II's? I'm open to ANYTHING (except the one picture I saw of the KGV's 14 inch turret mounted on top of a Type II :rotfl: :rotfl: )

P.S. Is there any way to actually move or BUMP this to the MODS forum?

Can it not be edited using the SH3 mini tweaker?

[Deathfrombelow23]

What is SH3 mini tweaker? I have no knowledge of this program at all. What is it and where do I find it? I've been doing all my editing by going right into data and editing the basic, flotilla and submarine .cfg files, among others. Any help is appreciated! :arrgh!:

I second that mate!

Even though I love the Type VII, I must admit that the Type II holds a special place in my hear also, I find it a very streamlined boat. Plus, it has a cool looking bow unlike any other subs out there!:up:

A nice thread with a list of modding tools, including the Mini Tweaker :yep::up:
