That's easier said then done Martin!!!;)

Ok actual work
 

Of those of you who have Uberboot I also need to know
who doesnt have the current version im going to try to
get at least a new mission done by next week and take
another.Ill also take another shot at correcting the
aft deckgun mount. but I am not too optimistic.

either way Id like to get everybody on the same
version. for better and more coherent data.

Testers check your version number.

if you have Type IX_XI_Uberboot_v1.2Beta
then your up to date and Ill just send a mission file.
if you have Type IX_XI_Uberboot_v1.1Beta
then you still cant see over the aft rail.

those that dont have 1.2 should contact me.
and Ill send it.

Regarding the last two posts mine and eddies.
 

Testers of all of you that have played only eddie has reported contact
with the two MTB squadrons they havent even been showing up in my
own games.

Has any body had to fight off the mtb attacks other than eddie.

I ask because in testing this was one of the most exciting moments
in the mission.

fighting the auxilliary cruiser in front while under air attack and suddenly
realizing that a half dozen mtbs have closed from the horizon to halfway
there by the time you detect them.

it was a great moment that was well timed and it isnt working in my own
copy of the mission.

testers please report any surface combat mission contact with mtbs
please.

ok now Questin for the test group.
 

OK testers.

Q: Uber development has certain problems with
the aft gun mount that are obvious to you guys
the associated limited ammo limited crew positions
and the missing sights. Is uberboot fightable now.?
at what stage of development should it become
a general release.

a) beta w guns as is. {weeks}
b) beta w corrected aft gun {months}
c) final w all bugs fixed and full paint etc. (a few months more)

what are your general thoughts on playability of the boat as is.
leave posts please.

MM

it should be released when its done:)

a few surface tactics for Uber
 

air attacks // in the included mission you are always under fairly close pursuit
by 2nd escort grp. and in the mission unless you have put a lot of distance
between you and commander walker I wouldnt recommend this tactic
however if your not under pursuit this can be the very best way to stave
off an air attack.

Flank ahead and 20 degrees rudder port or starboard as you please.
then just let the sub circle aircraft dont do as well as surface ships
against a circling sub.

as you circle maneuvering is removed from your list of things to do.
so then You can man the AA guns, Humans can adjust faster and
better than AI against targets they can see. humans also love to
blast away with a Hyped Up 37. this is fun and safe and effective.

but if in the included mission dont keep it up walker will close you fast
and if you doubt they can sink you sit still for four minutes at the start
of the mission and try to duke it out with them. they were set up
specifically to overpower uber if you slow down.

Maybe so but I released River FF as an Incompleted beta
those that have them love them as opponents and it
worked to solicit the Help I needed to get it finished.

by the same token early release of the incomplete beta
may drum up the help necessary to finish Uber earlier.

a thought:hmm:

I remember now that the mtbs never reappeared in my mission
after I changed them over to stock types as I wanted
general compatability for the misision

eddie I dont have a copy any longer of the orientation mission I sent
if you still have it can you send it along..

MM

Gone to work all
 

have a swell day.
MM:|\\

You got like compulsive post disorder:doh:

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

thats old news:rotfl:

Yeah, quite the Mush, join date Dec 06, posts 817:o

Well
 

thats as may be but its more subtle than "Bump"

besides Uberboot appears to have you talking RDP
as I recall your Number of posts were fairly low
a month ago.

MM

so for the MP testing
 

itll be morts and RDP in the Type IIa's
[edit] happy now I only made two posts

Type IIa's... WTF:damn::damn:

You know my wife might agree.:hmm:

Check your Private Messages Martin!!;) And about the Polish convoy mission with the British MTB's, its called Polish Evacuation, not sure if it is a stock mission, or one that came with GWX?

mush i have one question for ya
what uboat does the uberboot replace ?
in SH3

Fair question I did allude to it in the thread opener.
but its a good question.

what I did was I didnt make a new sub I hijacked a
Type IXB (1939) and gutted it souped it up reworked the guns and the crew
applied some invisible stealth applique armour and filled in the sensor suite.
oh and of course I welded on a type VIIC/4 Flak tower.

Now when you select uber for a mission it doesnt appear in the list as
type IX-XI (do you see the double entendre now)
no in the mission selection menu to get Uber you have to
always choose type IXB 1939

it doesnt matter what year your mission is uber will show up if you choose
IXB1939

now all that said. Up armouring and extending battery and horse power
will affect all subs in the game for armour and those subs that use the
same batteries and Superchargers for power and speed.
while the uberboot mod is active in JSGME

I Chose IXB1939 because as upgrades would make differences with any other type IX moot, and as IXB1939 was already available at the start
of the camaign games I wouldnt need to rework the dates except for
game exit date. all I would have to do is make the boat
and an extra 5000 bucks available in a flotilla.

Which for any sinner who didnt fully read the readmes
is 7th flotilla sept 1939

Hope that answers sufficiently

Sweet, looking forward to playing this. Thanks for your work.
