ADD-ON for SHIII released in Germany!

Hi all, long time no see.

Today I purchased an Add-On for SHIII in a German store for 25 Euro. ItÂ´s sort of unofficial made by "X1 Software/ Koch Media" and its title is "SeewÃ¶lfe - U-Boote auf Jagd" (Seawolves - Hunting U-Boats).

Basically itÂ´s kind of a mod compilation, but it has really nice features and seems to be quite professional (pretty much like the add-ons for MS Flight Simulator). Here are the features I like best:

- all U-Boat textures are HiRes now and they do look smashing

- new camouflage paint jobs

- all gauges are high resolution, too, so you can actually READ them

- historical ship routes and events (e.g. D-Day, Dunkirk etc.)

- 60 new cities, San Francisco is one of them (though I donÂ´t know about the quality and detail)

- you are now able to refill on "neutral" ships (they are on their historically correct position and treated like harbours, technically.

- random radio traffic (havenÂ´t checked it so far)

- "optimized" campaign (so they say, havenÂ´t checked either)

- new minefields, searchlights, shelters etc. in harbour, ships in harbours

- escorts in dangerous harbours

- realistic hydrophone for ueber-destroyers

- some tweaks and changes for crew fatigue, depth charge impact etc.

- 22 new single- and 4 multiplayer missions

- Pacific is available now - you can play as American GATO in the Pacific, although graphicwise you still have a IX-type sub... they say they couldnÂ´t change the graphics...

- little detail that really impressed me: new sky, looks smashing

All in all I guess itÂ´s worth the money. The graphical improvement is really great due to the HiRes textures used.

The good thing about this add-on is that there IS an add-on, so I guess that means SHIII sold very well (at least in Germany).

Cheers, AS
