Type XXI in all Flotillas?

prowler3 · 11-17-11, 07:52 PM

I've searched the threads and, AFAICT, no one has figured out a way to make the Type XXI available to all flotillas (well, at least the Atlantic ones). Is there a way to do this? I know how to change it's availability date but it would be interesting to have it available to all Atlantic Flotillas.

I realize this is completely unreal but I can always choose to purchase it, or not, depending on how "real" I'm playing the current campaign.

Use WB and Evan82's XXI 1939 v1.3 mod at http://www.mediafire.com/?zmynnznlgto

You'll have a type XXI with the 1945 torpedo loadout ( 6 type XI ZaunkönigII G7es and 17 TIII G7e) available from any flotilla from 1939 - 1945.

In base before a mission, the base can only supply you with the torpedo types available that correspond to that year of the war, so you really won't be looking to swap out any of your default load, and you'll already have all the 1945 goodies added to the u-boat.

Unrealistic, yes - but it shows what WW2 might have been like in the Atlantic had Hitler waited until 1946 as planned to go to war with England. Of course, by then the English miht have had radar mounted on most or all warships and would definitely have beefed up their navy.

The uboat assignment is in the flotilla.cfg file in the data/cfg folder. Each sub type is numbered 0,1,2 etc. 0 is a type 2, 1 type 7, etc.

Raptor...anywhere else the file can be found? Mediafire does not seem to work for me.

Danzig70...I think I'll give the mod a try first...manually adding the type XXI looks to be pretty involved?

Thanks guys.

HMmmm...the download goes to an empty Mediafire page. I'll drop a note to WB to see if he can help.

You have something wrong with your system.

Both links work fine. The first one goes to MediaFire's DL page for that mod; the 2nd goes to Subsim's DL page for that mod.
