Not only does it break the crew qualifcation system and play havoc with sensor employment in SH3/GWX, but it also puts at risk our tried and tested player U-boat damage model. Though the currently available LRT mod(s) might possibly be adapted to work with GWX, there are a great many hidden side effects that I think people just don't understand in relation to its interaction with GWX files. Repair times in GWX are already slightly lengthened over stock... and this is in line with research that indicates long/lengthy repairs couldn't really be done at sea.

Ouch. Never saw that post before. As far as I know, LRT doesn't change sensor employment. The early versions did, but not the later versions. Not sure why he said that. :hmm: As far as breaking crew qualification system, I'm not so sure about that either. As far as long, lengthy repairs couldn't be done at sea- I have to partially disagree with that statement. Yes, there was a limit to what a crew could repair at sea. But I have read of certain U-boat repairs taking up to a day or more. Overall, that statement is only partially true. Some spare parts were carried aboard U-boats. Smaller repairs could be done at sea, but major repairs would require a ship yard. Also, the really, really long repairs in LRT simulate certain repairs that cannot be done at sea because it takes too long. But the damaged part is still damaged and doesn't work as well. And yes, LRT does change one tried and tested U-boat damage model (GWX) to another tried and tested U-boat damage model (LRT).
I don't really know what to say about that post. Kind of surprises me. The Kpt. is well aware that I have been releasing LRT lite versions to use with GWX that only change repair and flood times. Nothing else. It must have slipped his mind. No one is forced to use LRT with GWX. That's for sure. After reading that, I'm not so motivated any more to release an LRT version for GWX 2.
