This will only work with Battle of the Baltic.
Enable instead of 'History target Submarine GW BALT'
This supercedes my previous mod "English Menu for Battle for the Baltic". DO NOT USE THIS MOD. It is wrong!.

This mod overwrites my previous English Menu Mod
It translates both the Flotilla Names, and the Submarine names to make starting a career easier for any English speakers. More importantly, it also translates the historically correct mission orders written by the BFB team into English.

I have tried my best to translate the original patrol orders whenever possible.
Unfortunately, I do not speak Russian.
I typed it into google, and then checked with the relevant mission file for that year, and whatever I got out I read and then guessed the rest.
The end result is what you ended up with. But having said that, the objectives are still basically the same.

You will get a patrol order - In this case I have told you the max patrol zone size (eg. 50km)
You will get a sink order - I will tell you what you have to sink, eg. 5000 tons
You will get a Photo order - I will tell you what port you have to photo, eg. Danzig
You will get a mine order - I will tell you what port to lay your mines before, and then what patrol zone you must then travel to.
You wil get a Rescue order - I will tell you who to rescue, and where.

A word about Swedish Neutrality: All Swedish vessels are set to be hostile to you. This is a limitation of the game. If you want to roleplay it to be the proper Soviet Captain then you are not allowed to attack Swedish vessels before June 1942. After June 1942, it was decided that Swedish merchants were vital to supplying iron ore and steel to Germany. Then the order was given to attack Swedish merchants. It is a limitation of the game that they are always hostile to you. But if you want to play it as history played out, then you are not allowed to attack Swedish vessels prior to June 1942. After that, the order was given, and you are free to engage as you see fit.

This mod also changes the menu to give proper information for choosing your Flotilla and submarine.
Do not worry if you have been using my previous incorrect mod for this.
This mod replaces the old mod. But it will not break your old game.
If you started a career using my old mod, and then change to this, it WILL NOT screw up your new game. It just changes the sub and flotilla names you see on the screen. Just make sure you are in port when you change mods.

English Language Baltic Campaign v2: What you have just read!

This is version 2. I had stupidly forgotten the English main menu fix and the required fonts.

English text for guns and torpedoes. Know your ordnance!

Also:
BFB Nomograph and Sub Plotter: Because you want a nomograph, right?

Subs of the Baltic Fleet: Info on all the subs available, all good stuff.

Pretend Soviet Uniform: let's all pretend we're in a Tom Clancy Film.
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=1501
The BFTB team are working on authentic Soviet Uniforms.
Until then, maybe use this, black uniforms like Hunt For Red October!

Of interest to anyone who wants to play this
The Readme from the original team.
I put it through an internet translator, but it still kind of makes sense.
If you want to play this mod, you really should read this!

The BFB Team is working on a proper historically accurate office. But until then, why not use this?
