Default Type IIA, IX, and XXI

Are there any mods being worked on that include these ships or any AI ships for that matter?

It seems like the only mods I've found are GUI, graphics and sound effects, and realism. Where are the content mods that were coming out all the time for SH3 and SH4?

I was tempted to buy SH5 until I saw this. The bland atmosphere of only ever commanding a type 7 u-boat is really a turn off. Gosh, I hope I'm wrong and just can't find the mods.

So far that I know of?
The only AI Unit ever put out there was the Type 14 U-Boot.
It was done as a test Unit that showed the path that no one seems to ever have followed.


The main problem seems to be that everyone expects things to work as they did in past versions.
If one is locked into that frame of mind?
You fail before you ever start.
I know from the Dev's themselves that they fell to that trap.

I might still have a version of the Type 14 that takes damages from Shells and Torps.
I also did a few tests that showed me the way to get damages to show.
But I'm not interested enuff to really follow up on it all right now.

I did make a damage and flotation mod for this game when I was trying it out on my friend's copy. Now that you answered my question, I have no reason to buy SH5.

*re-installs SH4"

Are there any plans, no matter how vague, to create a mod with the type 9 a to d u-boats in the near or distant future?

If you want this now i can only advise SH 4, with the U-boat add-on, and then the free OMEGU. With that you can play in any german sub, anywhere in the world. It is almost perfect now .. and beautiful to det aboard your IX.DII in Penang with this environmental changes !

And then there's Tomi who improves some of SH4's innards "a bit" ...

I guess not for SH V in the near future, but in 2 years .. who knows.

Greetings,
Catfish

Yesterday hastily tried to add the game AI IIA (though still in a single mission), which was included SH5 and that's what happened.

Strange, but skin of the boat is - in GoblinEditor it appears. A boat in the game without the skins.

Great! I am very glad that you're working on it! I look forward to a great U-Boat type IX. Finally real operation Drumbeat!

SH3 uses less layers texture-wise than SH5, hence missing stuff.
