Some time ago I started a thread on how a WWI sub sim would offer the best opportunities for a complete game. Most agreed then and its nice to see so many continue to have an interest.

Speaking of WWI, there is a WWI Combat Flight sim being built called OFF (Over Flanders Field) It is a stand alone built using CFS3 and is expected to be released by Christmas as a CD swap freeware or donation ware at SimOuthouse. Here is a link about its release dates which has screens in some of the post

The Royal Navy used over 200 ships in the Q-ship role during WWI and sank 14 German U-Boats with 19 of the Q-ships sunk by U-Boats. The Germans used decoy ships in the Baltic one sinking 2 Brit subs.

The most serious lacking of SH3 is no wolfpacks. A WWI based sim even using SH3 with WWI models would actually be more accurate than the WWII SH3 as there were no cooperation missions between multiple U-Boats, ergo, you would be on your own as a WWI Kaleun would be.

The sim being discussed here would be very cool particularly for those that play SH3 at 100%. I have done everything I can to mod this so it is more difficult but, IMO, a WWI U-Boat sim would be better than anything because of the manual requirements, you having to do it rather than push a button. I do not use TDC at all in SH3 now.

My one hope is the ability to move around like in a (dare I say it) FPS game rather than pop from one point to another

Best of luck and do it for fun and passion letting the release come as it does.
