Glad to be aboard !! I hope I can contribute some insight or Info to this Forum in future !. I am a big SH 3 fan although I don't play online.. I had a feeling that AOTD wasn't new but I am finally glad to find a mod where the deck gun reloads properly (LOL).... :sunny: "I need the deck gun it saves my precious..... crappy torpedoes"

I'd be interested in trying it but i don't speak a word of German so can't figure out what the hell this mod does.....do they have an English ReadME ?

Cheers,

Thank you for your prompt and extermely informative response CaptainNemo ! Kudos to the AOTD Clan !! Good show !

[uhu]

Can it be used partically?
I mean, there are many good modifications in this pack, but I don't want edit everything (have aother good mods), so I would need a particle-version. Is it possible?
Please...:)

[deanjjo]

There is a light version check out the site !!

[Mast]

Now there's a newer version called AOTD 2.02. Hehe...:arrgh!:

[Uber Gruber]

Thanks for the readme...I will try this mod this evening.

I'm just curious though, we now have RuB, IuB and AOTD. Can someone please explain the main differences between these ? As i'm aware RuB is meant to be more realilstic, IuB is RuB with graphic enhancements and AOTD is...err....a mixture of both ?

Sorry if my question is idiotic but its beginning to get a little confusing here.

If it helps, I 'm looking for the most "realistic" mod, i.e. a mod that takes me nearer to what it was like to command a UB during WWII given the limits of the SHIII game engine.

Currently I use SH3 Commander, RuB 1.45 and Borde Instrument so I can actually see the compass. I play at 100% realism but I don't have a red light on my desk or saukraut for breakfast.

The main aspect of the game that I enjoy is plotting, tracking, and all the maths etc....

Cheers....

[deanjjo]

Thanks for the tip Mast I can't get enough updates !! I am following a liberty ship right now ! I could sink her with one Torp but I will probably have to use 2 damnit ! :arrgh!:
