U-Boat Ops mod?

The main criticisms he has, which I would generally agree with, is 1) the overwhelming amount of traffic; 2) The type of traffic (this is the bigger one).

As far as 2) goes, I would generally agree, actually. Germany was indeed desperately short of certain types of ships, and you would not see many of them just routinely cruising in port. Same may apply to the airplanes. Consider that in 1943, when U-boat killer groups appeared in Biscay, the Germans could do nothing to help a damaged boat under their attack except to send their (most impressive!) group of 3 small torpedo boats, the only surface force they could apply there. A flight of Ju-88 heavy fighters was also sent, but ran out of fuel and turned back.

So, I think the mod gives an excellent sense of immersion in a very visual sense, and it looks gorgeous - but I think realism-oriented players are a little weary of some of the features.

Anyways, again, I am sure that some will be glad to see your mod merged with the operations SCR on your own accord, and I most encourage you to do so - and I'm not by any means saying that you should change the mod's composition.

Yes. Sorry if you took offence, Rubini. I tend to be a bit more narky than I should be after work. I wasn't trying to put your mod down. It was more that the question kept coming up even though I thought it had been answered. I really wasn't trying to have a go at you.

I am not against harbour traffic in any way, just a bit wary of certain things.
