Here are just a few of the new goodies coming with the next version of SH3 Commander:
Bismarck gets 2 new skins, thanks to Macstu23 and Type941. Also included is my Bismarck swastika fix:
Here's her sea trials scheme:
Here's her 'Rheinubung' camouflage:
And here's her North Atlantic colour scheme that she was sporting in the Battle of the Denmark Strait:
All of these changes happen automatically when you use SH3 Commander to load the game, so you get the right colour scheme for whatever date you're playing.
Also included is extended range for the Type VIIC boats from April 1942 until December 1943. This simulates BdU's resupply strategy (Milk Cows) during this period.
Plus, all the standard stuff that was in earlier versions:
Monthly news reports that appear when loading a patrol, and during the patrol.
A map of Europe and the Mediterranean which updates based on the progress of the war.
Historical radio broadcasts that appear at their correct dates. These play via the gramophone.
Correct availability dates for U-boats based on the historical date each flotilla received the boats.
Also included is a crush depth mod that gives players an increased crush depth for the Type VIIC/41 when they are using that boat in a campaign.
1939 flotilla names are included (1st Flotilla is named 'Weddigen', 2nd is 'Saltzwedel' and 7th is 'Wegener'.
All this, and the random tonnage mod by Observer.
Even more new stuff is coming - more features, more flexibility. More details later.
