GWX Team-Why Not IIB's?

sharkbit · 06-29-09, 12:25 PM

To the GWX team-Just wondering

:
I started a career in the Black Sea and only IID's are available out of Constanza.

Why did you not use IIB's as was historical?

I was thinking it might have something to do with range limitations within the game but it is just a guess.

Thanks.

The only Type II models avaliable for the player are the A and the D. The B is AI only and given the limitations of the engine, no more player subs can be added without replacing another.

Precisely....a decision was needed and that is what was decided upon

From page 179 of the GWX manual: (Fine print at the bottom of the page.)

"Silent Hunter III does not model the historical Type IIB U-boat. GWX uses the Type IID as a stand-in for the Type IIB, and adds the port of Constanza as a U-boat base. "
