Except it would probably require modeling a good chunk of the Pacific Theater too, I'd imagine.

AFAIHR, SH5 is atlantic only, so forget any pacific stuff.

If SH5 is developed right then at some stage in the future I hope I do see modders adding stuff to the Pacific, because that would mean Fleet boat integration, which would hopefully mean that other nationalities could be added too (Axis and Allied).

SHV is about ATO, it's no news, so why come to this forum and make such comments? :nope:

There should have a new thread just for whining.

I don't want to make bashing on anyone, this is just really annoying and endless.

When it will be time for a new PTO to come out, i wonder if i'll be willing to support it. :hmmm:

In Clive Blair's famed books "Hitler's Uboat war" he mentiones several times different special missions carried out by U-Boats, which were very similar to what American counterparts did, although not so frequent:

-Minelaying
-Landing spies and revolutionaries in the Ulster
-Rescue aviators (In Norway during Operation Weserübung)
-Bring supplies to troops
-Land sabotage commandos (In the Mediterranean)
-Escort blockade breakers back to France

They also landed saboteurs in America (who were quickly captured) and one u-boat was ordered to wait off the coast of Canada to pick up Otto Kretschmer who was to escape from POW camp. Just throwin those ones in there. :yeah:

There was a group of four saboteurs landed near Amagansett, Long Island NY in June, 1942. Another group was landed near Jacksonville, Florida at about the same time. Part of a plan for a two year program designed to destroy war plants, railways, water works and bridges in the United States

It would be really nice but i guess that things like landing spies would create some controversy. :hmmm:

Maybe controversy = free publicity = more sales. :DL

Mookie-one u-boat was ordered to wait off the coast of Canada to pick up Otto Kretschmer who was to escape from POW camp.

I saw an old movie made about that. One hell of a story. The ONLY german airman to get shot down, captured, sent to a Canadian camp, escape,
make it to U.S. [Before involment], to south america, and back to Berlin. The movie was realy controvetial at the timethey said, because
a REAL german played the main character, where most British movies used Brits, I guess?

I read about that in Kretschmer's biography, Golden Horseshoe as they were both in the same POW camp. That is indeed an amazing story.
