Have you guys seen this? :o :rotfl2:

As a result of the general disappointment with Silent Hunter 5 among long term fans of the series, user created mods have been seen as necessary. The three most highly regarded mods are: MightyFine crew mod - this mod gives the watch crew and engine room crew new animations and, in some versions, changes how the entire crew looks by altering beards and different faces etc. IRAI - this mod improves the AI of all units and makes wolfpack attacks possible. Open Horizons II - this rewrites all campaign objectives and extends the war from May 1943 to May 1945. It also extends the Black May campaign and adds two new campaigns, one for July 1944-May 1945 and another based around the Monsun Gruppe. It also adds many new ships and nations into the game. Some players use a TDC-interface mod, this gives more options and buttons for the expert-gamers.

Maybe the anonymous author of the article meant that IRAI makes AI u-boats more efficient...

Yes, that's exactly what I meant.

Please forgive me for the botched look of the article, I did it about a year ago, shortly after joining.

It's a turn of phrase! Read it as "That's about as accurate as the average new wiki article"

I am sure any wiki article you wrote about this game would be very very thorough, Trevally!

yep, a giant trevally, also known under the name of giant king fish (according to Wiki :haha:). I ate many of them while I was living in East Africa :03:

:O:

They are actually one of the fish species most commonly served in restaurants along the east African coast. They are not especially tasty (Tuna fishes, Red Snappers and Barracudas have a much better taste in my opinion), but when seen on market stalls and even more in their habitat, these huge predators look really awesome :yep:

Before I ate a slice of them, I always made sure that it was not of Scottish ancestry :03:

That picture made me smile. Quite a feat, seeing as I just finished watching Downfall.

No problem, as you can see from my ichtyological ravings below, I like fishes :D
