RUb1.45 - Check

NZsnowman · 12-15-05, 06:22 PM

I just installed RUb1.45, Generic Mod Enabler and started a new campaign. Is there a way to make sure that I am running RUb1.45?

on start up your loading screen should say Real U-Boat 1.45 right above the loading bar. ....

another question??? are there enemy mine fields in RUB? I was patroling the western boundry of AN 52 when all of the sudden while trying to surface I get all sorts of damage....I was thinking i hit a ship...but having just check the hydrophone and looking outside after the damage reports came in...I figure it was not a ship......I thought maybe it was an aircraft...but I was submerged?.....the only thing I could think of was a mine....because there was nothing around me what-so-ever. btw...this happened twice....first time it sunk my U-boat....so I started from my last save and went to patrol the same area...seemingly at about the same location, it happened again..this time I saved the boat and headed for home. What gives??? is this a bug?...or did I discover a mine field the bad way??

You discovered a minefield the hard way.

In RUb 1.45, do not patrol anywhere, at any time, within 100 km of the English/Scottish east coast. Also avoid the Atlantic approaches to Liverpool (west coast, between northern Ireland and Scotland). In some places, the east coast minefields extend up to 150 km. The minefields were created by Teddy Bar, and are realistic.

The patrol areas were supposed to be fixed for this in the next release of RUb.

so do we get intel updates (read a map with areas of suspected or known mines)....this would be good i would think.....
