Hi Guys!

I'm just wandering if it would be possible to use a type XVIII boat in the US campaign?

I added the type XVIII related files from the UPCdataGE folder to the appropriate place in the UPCdata folder but after selecting the boat in the campaign starting screen the game crashes when I try to start the career.

Probably I made it to easy for me and there are other files to tweak/swap/add.

Can anyone give me a hint what to change?
Thanks!

Oh yea and I know this isn't realistic but I'd I just want to try it out for fun.

No I didn't but I found another file I had to change in the submarine\NSS_Uboat18 folder.

Now the game didn't crash anymore and I get a type XVIII boat but it's empty.
No Crew, no equipment, no torpedoes... :rotfl:

No, just trying to get the standard boat XVIII out of the german campaign and putting it into the american one.

When you switch the sides of the uboats, you can use them in multiplayer, but only when both players have one.
I made it fast for my pal and me, but it overwrites the us files, so it is just for multiplayer german IX. Not interesting.

The Americans had no XVIII, cause there where no built.

I know. The XVIII is a German boat (which wasn't built at all afaik. It was scrapped for the Type XXI) . But just for fun I wanted to try it out against the Japanese.

I did this same thing today because I already beat both campaigns and want to go through the game again pretending the US captured one of the Germans U-Boats. I can get into the game, but no equipment, no crew and I have the default torpedoes for American Load-out (Mark 12?). Ah well.
