I guess this is what I meant, re my earlier comments, I just thought that perhaps some members of the community, preferably those who by example have already identified themselves as excellent modders might be able to take some of the drudge work off of Iambecome, seeing as we are all shi---ting ourselves for his mechant mods.

Re the NYGM damage model I'm curious re your original comment. I was blissfully ignorant of any bad feeling that may have developed between the two dev teams. As far as I was concerned I just thanked my stars that there were such dedicated and generous people about who would devote their time and energy to making this game work.


I used to be a NYGM fan, now I play GWX, so I'm familiar with both, or at least from what I've seen through the periscope. I play GWX now largely for the eye candy, particularly in harbour, though I miss the escort patrolls and other aspects of the allied AI in NYGM.

At the end of the day it was the damage model in both that attracted me in the first place, I just wanted damaged or sinking ships to behave in a realistic manner which clearly they did not in the stock game, if the GWX team had stayed with what they had in the original Grey Wolves I would have stayed with NYGM .

Now as for the differences between the two damage models, GWX and NYGM, from a players perspective in both mods you hit a ship, it either goes boom and sinks, or it gradually heels over and sinks or you plug it again with another torp or the deck gun. I'm talking here from a player perspective , not as a mod techie.

I wonder therefore if it really matters which damage model is used as in either case there is a loud bang and bunch of grumpy allied sailors and a smaller bunch of happy Germans.

I ask this to be educated and not to cause offence to any one

Depends on what ships are there and if any can be used to replace current ones for some nations - but even that is a 5 minute job

If they were made GWX ready they could be in the game in no time
But as they arent GWX ready then they will all need damage modelling and that takes time

If Iambecome is only holding back due to damage modelling his ships , he could let Von have them now to GWX DM them as that would alter the damage model that Iam does anyway
Hint Hint
:rotfl:

Then both versions could be released at same time

EDIT
How wrong am I
It will take ages to do the campaign changes so really need the ships now
lmao
