why never a PTO For SH3 ?

How come there was never a pacific conversion mod for SH3? I assume it was because sh4 came out and that new units are harder to add to SH3 ???

Do not need one. I've sailed around Australia in a IXD-2 in SH3.

May SH3 Kaleuns prefer the ATO.
Simply because it's harder and unforgiving in the years to come. '43-45.

Early on, there was a mod for for the USA PTO with SH3, using the Gato US sub. I am not sure why it didn't develop, but I think it was because Ubisoft exercised their prerogative to ban it do to the upcoming release of SH4.

On the German side, there is a PTO campaign in GWX3.0, and perhaps in other mods as well.

You assume correctly. There was no need for US subs in SH3 because SH4 had them and was better. There are u-boats in SH4 now as well.

It is but there is nothing in GWX3.0 scripted to sail in it.

The Indian Ocean and Bay of Bengal are as close as traffic gets

Really? I've run into ships/convoys/task forces in the Philippines and around Australia.

There are random Units scripted to the southern parts of
Down Under Land.
Go to the northern parts and it's as barren as a Meth addict
on birth control.

I wouldn't have thought so, not in GWX3.0

The only possibility would be coming across a Random Unit that has disengaged from its final waypoint on the other side of the SH3 world....I have seen them crossing the US land mass before entering the Pacific on rare occasions

Then you have a different Merged Campaign than I have. And I suggest you reconsider the type of birthcontrol in use.

I looked at only the Stock GWX 3 files.
And did not look at the Indian Ocean files.
Perhaps there's more there then I know about.
BBW is the expert.
Not me.
