OLC took a little bit to get used to, that's for sure. I will admit as well that it isn't my favorite thing in the world, but I get along with it. There are things I like about it and some things I don't. One issue I am having is, where does the UZO display range and speed like the old GUI? I'm also not too sure I like the monocular style viewing through the UZO and binocs. I do think the S-Boot mod should use a different GUI to differentiate it between U-Boats. I'm just not totally sure OLC is the best route to take. But like I said, I am getting used to it. I hope it doesn't sound like I am nitpicking or anything, it is just a couple personal observations. Whether S-Boot uses OLC or not, it is still an awesome mod.
Now, if only I could get HQ to stop sending me on such long patrols for an S-Boot.
I ignored HQ's (Does BdU command S-Boots as well?) order to patrol AM98 and paid dearly for it. I decided instead to patrol the mouth of the English Channel. Just as I am ready to head home (Wilhelmshaven) I spot a ASW trawler with two fast torpedo boats accompanying it. Apparently my watch crew didn't see it in time because because the ASW trawler started shooting at me and one of those fast torpedo boats came at me at 40 knots. I order ahead flank and run away. Then I decide to take on that little bugger. I turn around and head at him at flank speed. We are closing at a combined speed of about 80 knots! Couldn't be all that hard, right? Wrong! The little twirp eventually killed me.
