Honest to god, I'm not pulling anybody's leg here, I cannot get it to work at all.... :nope: (Via the commander method)

Though the JSGME method now works thankyou mountainmanUK:up:, what I did wrong before was not creating a 'data' folder to put the texture and submarine thing inside. Can't understand why the commander way doesn't work though.......

...a couple of thoughts.

Have you selected "Use historical uboat dates" in SH3Cmdr?

Are you sure you actually chose a VIIC/41 when you tried the "Happy Times" mission? (I just did that and the default choice is a VIIB)

I suggest you double-check your SH3Commander folders, to ensure that the file structure is correct. It's SO easy to accidentally drop something into the wrong folder, or to have an "extra" folder layer somewhere in there! (I do it myself all the time!:oops: )

If that doesn't work....goback to Step 1, and do everything over again SLOWLY, checking each step!

hope ya get there!!

YAY!

Its operational now with commander. I showed the readme to Mikey and he did it for me, he also has copied it into his version of GWX too, so we are both well chuffed with cobalts VIIC/41 it looks amazing. :)

Aces! :)

Thanks guys.

Is there anyway to edit the thread title?

Hi cobalt :D

Do you want to change thread title ?

For example

With a post Icons and (Lightbulb)

*** New U-boat Type VIIC/41 Mod Release ! ***

Thanks

yeah, something more flashy like that haha

Cobalt, or anyone else. What is the exact crush depth of the boat? Has anyone tried it, before I try it in a couple of hours.

EDIT:

If I understand this correctly. If I have this mod enabled via JSGME, even if I select a VIIC u-boat, I will get VIIC-41 from Cobalt? Am I right or wrong?

It`s a great mod btw. :D

Nice mod mate, great work!

you're correct, but if you don't use commander, you won't get a deeper crushdepth.

@Duli,

I just ran a crush-depth test myself.....

Popping bulbs and slight pipe leaks = 326 metres
Crushed = 423 metres

That was during a Full Speed continuous dive from surfaced until "dead"!!:o

Hope this helps!

cheers
Dave

Yes, it helped. :)

I also tried the u-boat in a single mission, where you have to sink RN Italia battleships. I was able to constantly "sail" at 310m, without any damage.

Wow! If you can get under the 300m you are then officially safe from depthcharges.

310m thats more than 1000 feet!!!:huh::huh:

I thought so too. But the thing was, that a dc destroyed my conning tower with both periscopes and all the flak guns.

ummmm. Wasent the VIIC/41 modled in the game from the start. Its in the stock game. :-?

But Great work.

yes it is, but the VIIC/41 in stock is just a clone of the regular VIIC. Though via SH3 commander it did get the greater diving depth. But this is a more accurate rendition of it with the increased bow and the forward life raft canisters. :)

Weren't the VIIC/41 type of subs also used for mine laying during the war

Not too sure, but I think the minelaying boats were the 6 Type VIID's built.

However, there is a mention of the Type VIIC/41's from U1271 onwards having their mine fittings "removed", so maybe they DID do minelaying ops!

Yeah just 6 VIIDs' built between 40-42.

I am one happy bunny here, cobalt!:up:

Excellent work Cobalt and thanks. :up:

:hmm: I'd think this should get you "Kaptaian of the Month". :yep:
