Ain't that the truth. There were a whole lot of more interesting subs, that's for sure (note: I did not say better, just more interesting). The Japanese giants equipped with recon sea planes spring to mind, for example (one can only dream about using that plane as a sort of extended surface sensors... a nice twist would be the need to recover it before submerging, else it would be lost for the rest of patrol).
Being Polish i have a natural twist, so I'd like to sail on Orzel class ocean subs (http://www.uboat.net/allies/warships...D=228&navy=ORP) or the smaller Wilk class (http://www.uboat.net/allies/warships...D=231&navy=ORP).
Being able to replay that: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orze%C5%82_incident would be a bonus :D

Yeah I seen that mod, it looks good - though its a shame the model & texture are abit shabby though... I should know as I made them :oops:
In my defence It was never intended to be used as a player sub and was still learning the ropes with 3d modling a skinning at the time. So if any one used that mod and though the sub looks a bit dodgy, you know who to blame. :D

I think she's a beauty. :up: Thx JU_88 for your time and effort. :salute:

No probs, Anyway Keltos has worked hard on the mod and also included some visual improvments to the sub - so kudos to him :|\\

Well, apparently your idea of a good book is different from mine. If a nonfiction book written by someone "who was there" is found to be full of errors, lies and exaggerations, that doesn't make it a great read. Or, do you really believe the French Foreign Legion really was recruiting former German naval officers into its ranks after the war? :har:

Oh, so since I've posted a dissenting opinion, now I have an attitude problem? Nice logic there.

No, I think I'll stay right here, thank you very much.

If I had solid evidence that his story was BS, then yes, I would. Just as I would be totally deserving of criticism if I started making up BS stories about my time in Iraq.

LukeFF/KL, play nice. Opinions are just that, opinions, whether agreeable nor not.

@LukeFF
The problem is not with your opinion, but your obvious attitude problem, lack of respect, and condescension to all who may see things differently than you.

GoldenRivet has explained the intent and nature of the thread to you. You can't accept that because you're simply looking for a fight and another "Das Boot" movie argument.

As has been the case before, you are simply tossing a Baby Ruth in the swimming pool in the way that you talk to people.

...but HEY ALL US U-BOAT DRIVERS ARE CARD-CARRYING NAZI PARTY MEMBERS RIGHT? :88)

Get over yourself. Stop pouting and go hijack some other thread.

Remark: we don't drive U-Boats, we commandeer a simulated U-Boat.
And, I think he doesn't think we're all nazi party members (or I wouldn't be able to stand him, lol).


Seriously (globally speaking)... this is just a book discussion, is there any need to show the world how harsh the talk is around here? Peace has to come from one side, and so it spreads to the other sides... but if one doesn't stop, no one does. So please, stop this, and hold a civil discussion, or be silent.

Cheers :rock:

Enough.

Go have your personal wrestling via PM, you have hijacked enough this thread. I'm closing it since even the thread starter wasn't happy about the route it was taking. :nope:
