Subron 50


Subron 50 is a semi-historical re-creation of operations by 6 Gato Class Submarines in the Atlantic from Sept 42 to July 43. Now if I was to be 100% historical accurate in the creation of this mod, it would be “very boring”, as in real life Subron 50 did not see that much action. Therefore I’ve have taken some “historic license” with Subron 50’s operations, first the operations dates for your boat, are from Sept 20th 1942 to November 1st 1943 (extra 3 months more than real life). Second, after missions in support of Operation Torch, you will be assigned to convoy interdiction and anti-blockaded runner operations in the Bay of Biscay. In real life the boats did conduct anti-blockaded runner ops in the Bay of Biscay along the north coast of Spain and the extreme southwest coast of France, however they only saw very limited action. During the “Bay of Biscay” phase you will be required to conduct some “very challenging” shallow water operations against German / Vichy French convoy operations and historical anti-blockade runner ops along the north coast of Spain. As for the Blockade Runners, they normally would not fly the German flag, but in Subron 50 they will for easy ID. Third, later in your career, the boat will be assigned anti-shipping operations along the Norwegian coast. In real life they were deployed between Iceland and Norway to prevent German Naval units from exiting into the North Atlantic, but again as with their earlier Bay of Biscay ops, saw no action and were withdrawn to the US in July 43. As with the Subron 50 ops in the Bay of Biscay, you will be required to conduct “shallow water” operations against German convoys.

Operational Start Dates

October 18th 1942 – Operations Torch
January 1st 1943 – Bay of Biscay Operations
June 1st 1943 – Norway Operations

[cgjimeneza]

Lurker... thanks man, were do you find the time!!

gracias amigo

will d-load and make another install, plus updating my Monsun base install.

Carlos

[cgjimeneza]

to be in the atlantic in a Gato class fleet boat

to cross the strait of Gibraltar on the surface

to sail across the outbound allied convoys in the Irish Sea...

will take time to get used to it...

[Ducimus]

I find myself very curious as to how the game play is turning out for this mod. My guess is not being able to sail right into Lorient would be a little wierd. :)

[Bubblehead1980]

I too an wondering how those who have played this mod are finding it...anyone, a review? PM me if you do not want to list it on the forum here.I may try it out.

[Te Kaha]

Believe me, it's definitely worth a try - I especially like the shallow water missions close to the French west coast, you really have to be careful to not get detected.

[Kaleun]

Hi,

Awesome work this !! just 2 quick Q's

1) I'm getting no tilting anchor on my home port with subron 50, the german campaign (OM) still has them - is this correct??

2) is there a key/button for a weather report?? as i can't find it for looking, although i must admit the suprise of not knowing wht the weather like b4 going to the bridge is kinda fun!

Regards

Kaleun

Install OMEGU

[Kaleun]

Thank you for the response Lurker, installed OMEGU - all is well. I have just noticed that with Subron 50 - the US Gato class has no sound file for the AA guns. The german flak and US AA works ok in OM.

I can't find the sounds files in OM/stock to copy over, any ideas where they may/how to fix this?

Thanks in advance

Thanks, this is great.

thanks m8 just got to Scotland i have not sunk anything yet:salute:

[KING111]

Well after I got to Scotland I got orders to go along the French cost
Looking for Vichy French or German ships I went and had a look
Around but did not find any so just for fun I went to periscope depth
And went in to Lorient when I got there it was being bombed by allied
Planes and I sunk 4 French merchant ships and 3 Germen
War ships well with all the sub pens in there I had to come up and try and
Use my gun and shoot the hell out of them I got shot to hell and was sunk
But it was great fun only one thing wrong there were no u boats in there for me
To sink :yeah:

[Forensicman101]

For those interested in role playing this mod, throughout WW2 Spain claimed territorial waters extending 6 nautical miles from its shoreline. As the Allies tended to avoid awkward political confrontations over blockade runners, players may want to consider any enemy merchant vessels within this distance of Spain as being off limits.
