Got tired of short repair times, so I decided to do something about it.

Yes, I have (finally) greatly increased U-boat repair times to hours instead of minutes. Hello Das Boot moments! Thanks CB.. for a very helpful idea that made this tweak possible!

I don't know am not into realism (did yes) repairs I want my boat repaired ASAP I ot 3 NCO's and the CE qualified to repair damage incured.It's bad enough to sail the Atlantic in 43.44,45 I want my crew to fix fing quick.If your in shallow waters or get dc'd to high heven not my fortie the game is hard enough you can't shoot down planes, no 1 shot kills, and snidy escorts, to start of with then you got the RAF,USAAF,USNAF, somehow I just can't see you surviveing until May 9TH 45.

I wonder how this will interact with the NYGM 2.0 No Damage Control Team component... My guess is that the behavior will need to be balanced a little differently.

I must say, this IS great news - the instant repairs were one of the biggest initial dissapointments of the game.

Yep. It certainly sounds like a great leap forward. Great work there NVdrifter (and CB,) Its always cool when something that has stumped everyone else for months suddely comes together through the use of some fresh eyes and thinking.

Looking forward to seeing how this one develops.

Yes, i was very dissapointed when i first noticed it. My Diesels got damadged and it was like WTF?!? Repair Time 2 Minuits. My first thought was "Fu*k!" as i noticed that 5 Minuits seemed to be the maximum. 5 Minits or Destroyed. FINALLY over one year after that game hit the Shelves it's Fixed.

100% Agreed.

Geeezzz, is there anything this game doesn't need modding/fixing!?

The Noob · 06-08-06, 08:02 AM

Nope. But no problem cuz we have the best modders of the world Here.

I wouldn't go as far as saying it's fixed yet. The repair times are changeable, but this messes with the crew efficiency settings. But I think the tradeoff is worth it. Still in the process of tweaking it right now. Trying to bring down the flooding times and torpedo reloading times equal to the changes in efficiency made. Anyone and everyone who can try their own variables and post their results would be helpful.
