Just noticed a strange typing error on the loading screen
 

Just this minute noticed a strange typing error on the loading screen (GWX3),the screen with the wolf's head and torpedo.This is concerning the notepad to the right where you get the tonnage scores and losses for the month.It says -
'news for Dec 1939,
monthly losses,
1 Uboats for 101,823 tons of AO1'

Any ideas what AO1 means?

:hmmm:

Sorry Paul, I've just been trawling through the completely infallible t'interweb and can see references to (US) ranks/rating, submarine HMS (then HMAS) Otway, and flak guns - none of which seem to be what you're after despite being associated in some way. Hopefully somebody with a large bookshelf full of reference books can refer to the correct one and let you know.

Or it could just be made up, but you'd hope not! :down:

I have noticed this sometimes too - the last bit of whatever is supposed to be there is overwritten by the name of my savegame. I could always tell because I would name my savegames by patrol # and save #, for instance, p1_1, p1_2, and so on. It was always a savegame name that popped up at end of that "memo" in the loading screen. Why it happens I'm not sure but it doesn't seem to affect game performance when it happens so I never investigated further.

I'm not sure....
 

But I think it stands for AA Gun,but once again I'm not sure ,wild guess....:hmmm:

Cheers guys,and gal :yeah:,someone will no doubt know,in the meantime I dont notice any problems with the game so... :up:

I think we talking about some beer tonight....
 

:ping:

I can confirm this - had it happen to me many times and the game
still runs fine.

Kinda funny as I always save using my first name "Adin" and quite a few times the message on the notepad has quoted Hitler , which ends up as "Adolf HitlerAdin":rotfl2:

As I understand it this happens because there is a limited number of characters allowed for those messages. If one is too long you'll see that fluke. As noted, it means nothing as far as the game is concerned.

It is as Frau Kaleun has said, it is the name of your savegame. It is a stock game bug that does not effect game play.

Yep....and you'll more than likely find many more examples as you progress through the time periods.

OK!
 

What are AO1 stands for? :hmmm:

According the above it doesn't stand for anything, it's just the name of one of Paul's savegames that a stock bug caused to be added to the end of the loading screen messages when he fired up the game.

OK....
 

But if look in basic/cfg files so are A01 name for loudouts in AA gun

I'm guessing it's just a coincidence:hmmm:

thank you man!
