Great :up:

Also could be possible mod a VII/42 , despite this boat never went to a war patrol because was cancelled .

From u-bat.net

The VIIC/42 was designed 1942-1943 and was intended to replace the then retreating VIIC (http://www.uboat.net/types/viic.htm), she had a much stronger pressure hull (with plating thickness up to 28mm) and a bit better offensive punch (16 torpedoes against VIIC's 14). Her diving depth was designed to be 200 meters with 400 meters as crushing depth (VIIC figures: 100/200 meters). These boats would have been very similar in external appearance to the VIIC/41 (http://www.uboat.net/types/viic-41.htm) but with two periscopes in the tower as type IX (http://www.uboat.net/types/ix.htm).
All contracts for the VIIC/42 U-boats were cancelled on 30 September 1943 in favour of the new Elektro Boat XXI (http://www.uboat.net/types/xxi.htm).

I deleted folders - NSS_Uboat7a, NSS_Uboat7b, NSS_Uboat7c and tested it too.
And now I will post it on sukhoi.ru :up:

Thanks Trevally! :salute:

I've just intalled this mod with a new install of SH5 and started a new campaign. Installed last of all mods and it's not working. I don't even have external torpedo reserves. Is there something that needs to be changed in any CFG files? Or is another sub mod in conflict with it? They're installed before this mod.

No mega mod installed.

[volodya61]

This is a notice from the d/l page -
you basically have 2 internal loadings b4 you will see yourself start using your internal reserve in the torp loadout screen [on boat.]
you will not see the reserves in the bunker screen, but they are there.

[GT182]

My thanks Volodya, I didn't catch that when I downloaed it. I guess I was in too much of a hurry to get it downloaded and installed to use. :oops: I'll wait and see what happens.

[fromhell]

unfortunatly i only loaded steam type 2 torps in extra reserves because i wanted it to be available in 39...but i am now going to work on putting electrics in for subs available in 42 and after...was hoping someone would come out with a proper ix boat...but alas not yet:up:

[GT182]

...was hoping someone would come out with a proper ix boat...but alas not yet:up:

We're all still hoping for that too, and I understand it being worked on. Cross yer fingers.

[GT182]

Reinstalled SH5and this mod again. I've got the VIIC/41 with the snorkle installed too, so hopefully the extra torps will show up after a couple of RTBs. BTW... this C/41 is one awesome sub. Thre firepower is amazing.... flak guns and deck gun. :D

[GT182]

Extra reserve torps ala IX are there. :D Tho they are of the electric variety. Any way to change loading to the steam torps?

[fromhell]

yea...actually i thought they were steam torps..but i'm having a prob with granny viewer at moment, but as soon as i get it to work..i'll change some of the loadouts so we have a choice.:up:

Sounds great. Maybe a patch would work once you get it sorted out.

Seeing we can't have an IX in Sh5, this mod is great. :D And I recommend it to anyone playing SH5. Especially if they have they VIIC/41 mod installed too.

[Trevally.]

this mod is great.

:agree:

A must have mod for campaign Monsun Gruppe:yeah:

[GT182]

I should have added that I have the Free Upgrades and Free Upgrades Patch 1 also installed. You get to choose from all the torpedo types for your loadout. Tho I haven't found out yet what all the Reserve types will be.

[fromhell]

i have posted some new loadouts for this mod in forum...you cannot change the loadouts for the extra torps in the loadout screen. please select the loadout by year in my new post.:up:

Does your update make all the Reserves show? If so I'll update mine once I return to base. Thanks.

No...sorry cant do that at this time.:wah:

No problem, it's still a great mod. :yeah:

[GT182]

Another question on the loadout. When I choose the torpedos I want they don't always end up the ones I get when you check on them after you pull out of your sub base. How do you keep the ones you have chosen? If you click on 'Equip' it says you can't load anymore of that type and loadout is changed. If you don't click on 'Equip' and just close out the screen and start the patrol the same thing happens. Tho not always as you do get some of the chosen torpedos but not all that you did choose.

And if you choose steam torpedos for Reserves you get something else. And usually thats the electic eels that I don't want.

:confused:
