Questions regarding WAW

[Col.Jimbo]

Hi all,

I would like to get into WAW. It sounds very interesting and fun.

Am I understanding correctly that I may not use any commander name that is contained in the search engine and the corresponding u-boat #? If so, can I come up with a German name and a number that is not listed even if it is not an actual WWII commander?

Last question. What mods do you recommend I have installed? I am currently using only Rub 1.45. Is that all I need or are there others you recommend. I was under the impression that Rub 1.45 contained all of the best mods in that package. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance. :up:

1) Yes, you may select a German name to use - but with hundreds of U-boats out there, it really doesn't have to be a problem! :)
Just go to Uboat.net and pick one, if you really want a historical commander. Otherwise, a fitting German name will do.

2) RUb 1.45 is the current recommended WaW setup!

I never actually played, but I did join. I was told that the name didn't have to be an actual person, just German-sounding. Using a random name generated by SHIII Commander is a good way to get a semi-real name, and you can keep doing it until it gives you one you like.

You'll need to actually ask somebody in charge at WAW, but I'll bet getting a name that way would be fine with them.

Yes, you come up with one. If you have any other questions just pm me or post them here. :up:

No 'they' don't. :) 'They' play single player campaign. But that would be nice to try. :hmm:
