Greetings all,
Does anybody know how to alter the tonnage totals allotted to the historical (ie real-life) sub commanders? I ask because Otto Kretschmer (to take one example) is listed as sinking 256k tons, whereas most sources these days credit him with 273k tons. I think there are a few other errors along similar lines. Not vitally important, I know, but still...it bugs me. So if anybody knows how to change this, I'd very much appreciate your advice :-)

Ahhh, but remember jonny_bass26, you are living in the 1940s (generally) in the game, and the sources are not so reliable just yet... :O:

... but in the Data / Cfg folder is UboatAces.cfg with those stats... :salute:

Ah of course haha...for some reason I hadn't considered the usage of contemporary figures (even though they do the same thing in SH4 which I was well aware of). Still gonna change it though! Thanks for the help :-)

You are welcome, but yeah, they didn't have Google and Wikipedia back then, computers used vacuum tubes and electro-mechanical relays, along with punch cards, and Clay Blair hadn't finished his research yet... :roll: SH4 definitely used the edited JANAC reports... :har:
