Why all the XXI mods?

Commander Gizmo · 11-01-08, 01:52 PM

I am curious to know: why are there so many XXI mods? Is the one currently in the game or GWX not accurate? Is there something that everyone is wanting from the sub?

I've never even driven one yet, so I don't know much about the whole issue.

The XXI is an awesome sub but is not available until late in peoples careers. The ones that exist in SH3 and GWX work perfectly but are only available from their historically accurate dates, however a lot of people have used the XXI in single missions and like it.

A lot of modders have their own versions (there are threads referring to it that go back a couple of years) but it's only in the last few weeks that it's come to the front of peoples minds.

The XXI mods out there are great but there are still a few oddities that need addressing, and pooling our resources and brainpower seems to be the way ahead.

Give the XXI a try in a single mission and you'll see what the hype is about!

I've read plenty about the boat around here, and see why it is such a nice ride. What sort of oddities need fixing?

I've always wanted to drive a uboat with battleship guns merged into the conning tower. Man would that look cool! Kinda hard to turn though.

The one issue that is left is trying to get SH3 to generate patrol grids for the XXI.

You guys don't know what cheating is...

Download my nautilus mod and you'll see what a true uboat is like.

XXI mods - a option for those who like XXI sub - it's simple.

Most players do not understand how someone can like XXI.

When I took a XXI at first time it was strange feeling. But later...

I like XXI because I may atacking task forse with this boat. I do not need to use periscope anymore. I can chase the lonely tankers underwater. I can go to 3 - 4 months patrols. And You know what? I never let myself feel safe.

When i atacking a convoy with 10 elite escorts I can be everywhere.

I love this feeling.

They think I am at the other side of convoy, and they lost ships. When the destroyers dropping bombs on me in the correct place, 2 of them goes to the boottom of the atlantic in the other sector of the battle. And if I start feeling to strong, I have serious troubles belive me. In the waters near the land - serious troubles sometimes

. For me goood mixture.

XXI in 1939 - yes, this is not a historical fact, but also type VII and IX technology was to old for WWII after 42. [a technology from first world war mostly]

But what I know? I'm not a hardcore 100% player.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Everyone of us see this game diffrent, some of us the same, but everyone has right for individual point of view

So many XXI mods !!! I wish. As far as I know there's only one for download but the patrol grid issue has not been solved yet. Tis being investigated, in fact Wreford-Brown is close I think.
