I understand, it's probably a huge very time consuming work anyway only for those types that will be in the megamod and also, it would have been too close to "perfect" to treat all the U-Boat types in the same detailed manner, so I am saying that any work that you're making into this area is very good, in any quantity.


I've wanted to say one more thing: Since this megamod seems to be the most interesting, realistic and historical oriented that has arised on the "SHIII workshop", I've thought and also expected somehow (my bad, I guess ...) that a larger number of modders should have been interested in your team's work and that they would have joined and help U-BOOT_HAHD team into a common and organized effort (comparable to GWX way of working). Seeing that there are a lot of talented people (outside your team) that are creating their personal mods that will not be (probably ever) implemented into a megamod it's a shame, in my opinion. Just watching the movies uploaded on youtube and seeing the screenshots on your website I can firmly say that you have the best and the most impressive "résumé" and presentation that you can have and of course, with that, becoming attractive to simple users and also to modders. Of course, everyone is free to take their own choices, especially when we are talking about non-paid work, but I believe it would have been way much more constructive if the efforts of as much as possible SHIII modders should have been "centralized", and their work would have followed a common (and compatible in terms of gameplay) path and goal. In other words, I feel that U-BOOT_HAHD team doesn't seem to have in this moment the support they really need and deserve from the SHIII modders community.


I hope I didn't offended anyone with the things I've said, because I have a lot of respect for ALL the SHIII and SH4 modders that are dedicating their time and efforts only for some of us to enjoy playing a better SHIII and SH4 and I wish them all the best!
Hi mate,

Don't worry for the amount of detail for the U-Boat because the way our mod will work you will never have all high detail boats load at the same time. The way our mod will work is that when you are ready to upgrade to the next boat you just have to go in base and load the next boat in jgsme it is going to be like that for every boat this give us the latitude to implemented custom GUI for each boats

For the join effort i understand your point of view but many have already spent a part of their life in those mods and i can understand them to not getting involved another time, some have family and can't spent too much time in this. Also it is not that easy to get a concerted effort or cooperation between everyone simply because sometime we don't have the same vision of what the mod should be and also because the way we approach the file structure and to close we can't force anyone to help.

For the support we have privateer who regularly help us in technical detail just read yesterday posts we also have some that help in silence in the shadow if you want.

And all the great shipmates here in thread that help us in many ways.

We also have 2 new offers from artists so i can't say we don't have support.

Best regards Hans
