Nice one Mikhayl
D\L now mate
You certainly didnt hang around

Might even get me to fire up the game later
:up:

[evan82]

Yes. I think this is a good idea.:yep:
Thanks for this.:sunny:

I've just responded on the thread where you made the proposal http://www.psionguild.org/forums/images/smilies/wolfsmilies/thumbsup.gif

[Letum]

I like this and will install it.

[Laufen zum Ziel]

Very good as usual.....

[Sailor Steve]

Just downloaded, will test tonight. Looks like my kind of fun!:sunny:

[Jimbuna]

Thanks mates, got to say I'm still arguing with my bragging-self whether to install it or not, the closest I got to 100k was a 96k tonnes patrol, I'm not sure I'm ready to give up yet :lol:

That won't hinder me...my boat carries 48 eels http://www.psionguild.org/forums/images/smilies/wolfsmilies/eviljester2.gif

[Graf Paper]

Thanks for this, Mikhayl. :)

I'm of the same feeling as you. I just want to have my first 100k patrol before I add this mod! :lol:

@jimbuna:
48 torpedoes? :huh:

What did you do, strap another u-boat to your hull? :p

I'm too used to my cherished VII-B, I suppose.

[FIREWALL]

Thx Mikhayl :up: Like I always say " Just when I think it can't get any better ", It just gets better and better.:D

[Jimbuna]

Thanks for this, Mikhayl. :)

It used to be 50 but there wasn't enough room for a full crew then :lol:

[bigboywooly]

Makes a convoy attack a lot harder
Map was covered in plots and still missed the escort that came steaming in
Certainly makes a difference
Will take a while to get used to but a lot more difficult
Mind you thats the first time have attacked anything in months :oops:

[Graf Paper]

I can just imagine the conversation on that day...

"Yay! We got rid of two torpedoes! Now Hans and Fritz don't have to sleep standing up in the head anymore!"

Still..46 torpedoes..you must have a crew of what, six? :lol:

Sure will make spotting and tracking convoys even more difficult with this mod when you have only one guy standing watch with 4 torpedoes stuffed onto the bridge. :p

[Myxale]

It makes things indeed more "accurate" inaccurate.:doh:
I'm so keeping this!

Oh and by the way, a boot with 48 Torpedos loaded is worth sinking...imagine the tonnage!;)

[TarJak]

Nice mod! Thanks for this one.:up: Now if we can just get smaller ship tonnages, Squids and Fido we'll be in business. (Ducking as Hanomag throws his cap at me).

[msalama]

Sounds great, but what exactly are the differences between this mod and disabling map contact updates in the game proper?

EDIT: Got it (I think). So you disable map contact updates in the game, and with this mod remove your own sub and radio contacts from the map too, correct?

[Jimbuna]

I found myself becoming a little disorientated when trying to judge my position and proximity relative to that of the convoy (even harder comparing with the movement of the escorts).

I think all in all once you become accustomed to the new environment, the challenge will be a more realistic one.

Excuse me Mikhayl but did not OLC have something like this feature in the latest Ubermod/GUI?:hmm:

With OLC you always have map contacts gone and very little possibility to zoom.

Contacts come in form of messages and very scetchy markings on the map. (that was the point;) ).

Even the sonar lines are deliberately inaccurate, meerely "hints".

Maybe just a matter of taste:cool: .

IIRC map contact updates on/off shows/hides the icons for ships in visual range only.

Yup, got it. S! m8.
