Oh you missunderstood something:rotfl:
Tomi is out of range here;)

This is a VIIC with Fubar skins, reworked by Mikhayl

[Vorkapitan]

I THINK MAYBE WE HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!

AWSOME! :o

[simsurfer]

So where can we download this mod???

[Xantrokoles]

The release will be in this forum.
Just some patrol objectives and Bugfixing:up:

[keltos01]

feel free to use the CLass T mod we are doing and transform it into an AI sub for your campaign. Those brit subs were everywhere in the med, even at the bottom !:rotfl:

now you're saying (bube) i'm gonna have to mod an italian sub ;)

Oh ya,
Thank you Keltos...maybe i will use it:lol:

But no Italian sub!:dead:

This is a Geman Campaign;)

[Rockin Robbins]

Looks like a winner! But in the Med, the U-Boats WERE the targets. Not one got back out of there alive. Many didn't make it in either. Are you going to have the passage through Gibraltar entering the Med as part of your mission structure? That should be a blast!

Historical question: Did U-Boats actually sink any shipping in the Strait of Gibraltar?

Another interesting point that has already been beaten to death. It sure seems to me that the water's surface is too transparent. In all the hundreds of photos I've looked at, if the sub is photographed from a low angle below 45º you don't see the hull below the surface. Yet we almost always do in SH4. It doesn't break the game or anything (what do you care? You're inside the sub) but in some screenies it just looks wrong.

Love those sub skins! Great work.:up:

[Schroeder]

Will 1.5 be required for this or are all the new subs integrated into the mod?

It really looks awesome.:up:

You start at Brest. Your first mission is a Atlantic Patrol.
Then you have to go through the Giraltar Straights. Cheaters can unlimit their Batteries. After this your Career starts in the Mediterranean.

VICTORIES AND LOSSES IN THE MEDITERRANEAN (http://uboat.net/ops/med-ove.htm)

But no ships in the Straight. They were happy when the could pass them.

And don't forgot the 6 IIB in the Black Sea.

Will 1.5 be required for this or are all the new subs integrated into the mod?

It really looks awesome.:up:
Jawohl Herr Kaleun,
no deal without the addon.

[Hitman]

Those subs look nice, but the U-201 skin was never used in the Med :hmm: instead Fubar had a magnific Mediterranean camouflage skin I hope you will be able to add somewhen :up: Looking forward to the release :D

[NeonsStyle]

Awesome looking Mod... I can see I'm going to have to get the Uboat one once I finish this campaign.

[Ishigami]

Very nice! :up:

[Rockin Robbins]

And don't forgot the 6 IIB in the Black Sea.

:up::up::up::up::up::up::up::up::up::up::up::up:

[Herr_Pete]

will this work alongside operation monsoon or shall have to remove that patch and use this by itself?

[Hitman]

Hi Mykhail

yes that one...isn't she a beauty? :D

[Xantrokoles]

will this work alongside operation monsoon or shall have to remove that patch and use this by itself?
As Mikhayl said, it won't be compatible.
Lurkers work is great, but maybe I will atack the Atlantic later, alone:huh:,
and all the work would be useless.

[Xantrokoles]

Indeed she is, I have another with the same colours/different pattern for the VIIB, I'll convert them both and send them to Xantro :)

Nice skins!

@ all: All Skins for SH3 wil be compatible with this mod, which means, you just have to overwrite the skins with the ones made for SH3:up:

[Xantrokoles]

BTW, 12 additional crewmen for the type 7 interior:

Hello!
It's seem a very good mod:up:

How get on the project?

[Xantrokoles]

Hello!
It's seem a very good mod:up:

How get on the project?

Hello and welcome to Subsim.

The project is currently paused. Mainly because there is a rare interest. The mod will go on, when other projects are done. Just for people who are interested and who want to drive a type 7 uboat:up:

You will hear here.

[THE_MASK]

Waiting patiently for thid mod .

[dcb]

The project is currently paused. Mainly because there is a rare interest.

Why do you think there is a rare interest for it? I'd say 1200+ reads and 30+ posts in two weeks would prove quite the contrary. I think the project actually got a lot of people interested when you launched it, but if no news surface over time, the interest fades away. It's normal. If you don't trust me, Xantro, just start a poll about "Would you play a Med campaign?" and that will show the interest.

[Xantrokoles]

Okay I acknowlede this dcb.

It is very hard to work for weeks and weeks always on the same project.
i admire person like Lurker, Luke Ducimus and a lot of others who worked/work straight on their jobs.

I chouched it totally wrong:

The mod is on pause because of me. I'll have a small and fine rest of campaign modding.

[dcb]

I'll have a small and fine rest of campaign modding.

Enjoy your rest, mate. You more than deserve it.:up:

[Task Force]

Is this mod still being worked on, or has it been forgotten.:hmm:

[Xantrokoles]

Work on this mod stoped.

[ivank]

Work on this mod stoped.

why!!!?????

[Engelmann]

why did they stop working on this mod??

[spike12]

Maybe because of the upcoming/now released OP Monsun V500?:hmm:

[Task Force]

more than likely.:yep:

[lurker_hlb3]

Maybe because of the upcoming/now released OP Monsun V500?:hmm:

That is "NOT" the reason why this mod was stop.

Xantrokoles has his own reason for stopping work.

Any chance of downloading this?

Aus welchem Dchungelbuch sind die denn entnommen!?

[Admiral Von Gerlach]

I would very very much like to try this mod, my cousin Oberleutenant zur See Peter Gerlach died commanding the U 223 a VIIC boat, on March 30 1944 after torpedoing a RN DD, i would very much like to experience the battles he and his comrades faced. I really liked the crew pics......thanks if you get the wish to work on this more.

It is true that none of the U boot that went to the Med survived, (some were scuttled) but U boot command did not want to send them, it was higher up that ordered it and then forgot them...they fought bravely against great odds...

and i saw comment about clearness of water, that was a danger there, as the boats were indeed seen easily if water was too shallow, as the Med is quite clear. So that is accurate.

the camafloge skins mentioned indeed were accurate for that, i saw Fubar's as i was looking for paint schemes for that campaign and his are very nice and right to what pictures i have seen in family collections.

so i do hope possibly this campaign can happen if you wish.

Being a modder for a number of years, I have learned that while some gamers are appreciative of the modder efforts, most gamers are not. Therefore if modders would only refer/rely on someones/gamers interest, very few mods would be accomplished then. The most efficient stimulus for a modder is a wish of having his own setup of a certain game the way he likes.

Anyhow, the Med theater is indeed one of most interesting and tense theaters.

[Admiral Von Gerlach]

Thank you for that post, and I am understanding that there is much much work in making mods and one hopes that interest may help make that work a little lighter, i did not mean to push over hard. Just wanted to express my interest and support. hope that may help. Danke. and those are very nice planes, I am liking the free roam cam mod you have as well i think very much.

I think I can arrange this for you. Since OMv500 cover this area, I will do some research and see what I can develop for you

Lurker

[Admiral Von Gerlach]

Lurker, i am honoured. It was such a challenging time, and so many did not come home brave men who faced odds they knew very high. All did their duty on both sides and there was much comradeship shown to defeated U boot men in the water and honor by all.

Will add the "Last Voyage of U223" to OMv500 Patch 1 when it comes out later this month.

What ever happend to Xantrokoles?:-?

[The General]

I'm guessing the GW Team asked if he could hold-off on this until they could incorporate it into their next big thing.

Well you guess wrong
I for one was quite looking forward to release of this
