Thanks Cdre, much appreciated. :up:

Is there any (far chance) possibility to elongate the IXD/2 and put the subnet cutter in front in order to look like the U-cruiser in the picture :P

And yes, I am a DG nut :rock:

Nice One Cdre Gibs :up:

To make a U-Cruiser.

Make a backup copy of your Basic.cfg file befor doing this.

1. Copy the lines below:

Year2=1944
ForeTube20=3 ;T1
ForeTube21=3
ForeTube22=1
ForeTube23=1
ForeResIntern20=3
ForeResIntern21=3
ForeResIntern22=1
ForeResIntern23=1
ForeResExtern20=0
ForeResExtern21=0
ForeResExtern22=3
ForeResExtern23=3
ForeResExtern24=3
ForeResExtern25=3
ForeResExtern26=1
ForeResExtern27=1
ForeResExtra20=3
ForeResExtra21=3
AftTubes20=5
AftTubes21=3
AftResIntern20=3
AftResIntern21=3
AftResExtern20=3
AftResExtern21=3
AftResExtern22=3
AftResExtern23=3
;Z01_20=11; IX/3
;M01_20=0
;A01_20=10
;A02_20=10
;S01_20=2
Z01_20=8; VIIC/4
M01_20=0
S01_20=4
S02_20=2
S03_20=2
SuperCharger_20=1260
Snorkel_20=1262
Batteries_20=1268
AftBatteries_20=1268
Hydrophone_20=1270
Sonar_20=-1
Radar_20=1275
RadarWarningReceiver_20=1280
Decoy_Launcher_20=1284
SonarCoatings_20=-1
RadarCoatings_20=-1
Renown2=0

2. Goto your Basic.cfg file and open it in notepad/word. Search for ;[SUBMARINE_AMMO10];IXD2 . Goto the Year 1944 (the reason I chose the 1944 boat rather than the 42,43 an 45 boat is ppl usually tends to keep 1's original boat and the 44 is about the same as the 45 so you wont really miss it). Select the entire 1944 entery, paste.

3. Copy the lines below:
[S01]
DaysSpent=0
NbGuns=4
Idx0=2
Dummy0=37mmTSA_UFlak_High
Idx1=3
Dummy1=37mmSA_UFlak_High
Idx2=4
Dummy2=105mm_UDeck_Gun_High
Idx3=5
Dummy3=20mmVierling_High

[S02]
DaysSpent=0
NbGuns=4
Idx0=2
Dummy0=37mmTSA_UFlak_High
Idx1=3
Dummy1=37mmSA_UFlak_High
Idx2=4
Dummy2=20mm21_UFlak
Idx3=5
Dummy3=20mmVierling_High

[S03]
DaysSpent=0
NbGuns=4
Idx0=2
Dummy0=37mmTSA_UFlak_High
Idx1=3
Dummy1=37mmSA_UFlak_High
Idx2=4
Dummy2=20mm21_UFlak
Idx3=5
Dummy3=20mmVierling_High

4.Go further down your Basic.cfg file until you find the S01-S03 entery's. Select all the S01-S03 settings, paste. Save.

5.Start game, Launch a SP map. Select the Type IXD2 1944 boat. Have fun.

When you want to go back to your campaign game. Save the Basic.cfg file to a folder named U-Cruiser. Then copy paste your original backed up Basic.cfg back into SH3/Data/CFG folder. Now your good to go in your campaign.

Eventually I hoped to clone a sub and do a more permenate solution and maybe address some of the bugs.

Cdre, you ROCK :rock:

I suppose I can now play with the .sim file of the IXD/3 (U-cruiser) now. Now, let's see...

Terrible turn radius
Dive time 1,25 minutes
Surface speed 26 kn
Submerged speed 5,5 kn
Submerged range 30 nautical miles @4kn

But on the surface... :rock:

This u-boat would have success in 1940 only if it could coordinate a tight small wolfpack (1 U-cruiser, 3 VIIBs). Something like a U-hunter killer group. The VIIBs would go for the DDs first and then the U-cruiser would surface.... :rock:

Thanks again Cdre!
