Beery and marhkimov,

I don't want to start an argument about the XXI, i read some old posts about this topic and i noticed that the reactions on this subject are often passionate and irrational (for both point of views).

Now, i play in a realistic base with high or maximum realistic settings depending on my mood, RuB and now IuB and SH3 cmdr 2.3 (and for that i'm grateful to both of you because these mods have a lot of your work inside). I have several campaigns running at different years and with differents subs ( II, VII, IX). So i think i can be considered the kind of player that shares quite the same vision of the game that your's.

But, i regret to disagree with your point of view on this specific matter for the following reasons :

When someone opens a topic asking :
- He is not asking that you mod a fix, he is just frustrated to have a sub that doesn't work properly as it should be (and it doesn't what ever you say)

- answering him something like "anyway this sub shouldn't not even be in the game, so why bother about bugs and realism" is not satisfactory for him.

Because :
- it is in the game
- it's not a Los Angeles class, it's a sub who really existed even if just a month operationaly
- it is anyway interesting, on an historical point of view, to simulate how it should had behave in the latest period of the war.

That's why i answered him, trying to give him some real data i found when i saw the battery discussion.

and finally, i will add that if i was interested on the subject it is just because i was planning one day to finish my first and only "vanilla campaign" with a XXI and for that, i modded for myself a pack with HT 1.46, the fixes made from Jungman and Crd Gibs and some other little things and that i was testing it (and not satisfied yet).

I hope that this answer will not start another "XXI war" because i have the greatest respect for this community of gamers and i think that this topic should be less passionate.

I just wonder why Ubi never answer any questions :hulk:
Specially when they don't seem to care so much about fixing major bugs :/\chop

Don't get me wrong, I still would like for the Type XXI to be fixed. Of course, ubi promised us a u-boat, so they should give us a u-boat that works. I don't deny that...

But I suppose I'm not as passionate about the matter as I once was. I'm just saying on a personal level, that I hardly ever use the Type XXI as it is and if I do use it, it is only during single missions. Even if ubi decides to fix it, I probably won't be affected either way... I was just trying to share my feeling of contentment over the matter. I guess I've learned to live without the Type XXI.

I guess what matters to me is, Will the CE change the propulsion back to standard automagically, or will the ship be doomed to run on charge mode till you turn it off?

Didn't Gibs just say he fixed the battery charging values for the Typ XXI? It would be great if he posted this fix for the rest of us.

Sorry if i misunderstood your point of view :)
