Suggestion for a simple mod.

MDV_4life · 07-02-08, 11:11 PM

Hi,

First of all I'm not a modder myself so i'm only making a suggestion for you guys out there. Wouldn't it be handy if you could use a calculator like the ones in Window, a little square thingy. It would make some calculations a lot easier.

Well let me know if you would like it to be included in the game.

cheers

This is not possible IMO.

But you can minimize and calguate or you use a cheap handcalcuator

And I can recommen Mikhayl's AOB finder

Why can't the dev's integrate a calculator ? How do you mean it is not possible.

The game engine can't support it

Pretty much nobody around here is the "devs", just modders, as long as we don't have the source code we can't tamper with the engine...

So the game engine can handle a huge sub but not a tiny math device ?

Precisely, the engine wasn't designed to support a calculator, as opposed to submarines, which it was designed to support

Wow my eyes. That seems complicated for my little brain

LOL...

I guess buying and using a simple little calculator is too difficult? :rotfl:

No I have one myself

But it seemed more 'profesional' to have one in a sub in 1943

:rotfl:

Well i guess i have to give up on this

Thanks for your lovely comment though

EDIT: just a question, ships that are sinking, are they really going that fast to the bottem, i mean like man that is fast sometimes.

Ships can and will sink like a rock if positive boyancy is completely destroyed.

They didn't have calculators back then. It was pencil and paper. I suggest that you try that and gain an appreciation of the work they had to do to get a hit. It also makes the hit SOOOO much more enjoyable.

I use my cell phone now to do the math

If I don't know the speed of the ship / convoy than I use the chronometer ( If I have an OAB of 50 - 140 ) And while time is ticking I calculate the lenght of the ship using the Recognition manual.

PS. I enjoy my kills evvveeeery time

Check this one

If you look closely you can see the lifeboat being trowed into the air

fantastic kill
