Default Thanks!

Thanks for all the help. I'll start hunting asap.

I'm running the stock digital download version from D2D with the ship pack 1 by miner1436 which I believe is supposed to add a variety of new ships, both merchant and warship.

I understand most escorts the Japanese had were Destroyers or destroyer escorts. By late 42 they were lucky to be able to form a flotilla of fishing boats let alone cruisers or Battleships but too much realism makes for a very boring allied campaign. I had hoped to see a light cruiser every now and then but I get nothing but destroyers 4 types as far as I can tell doing escort duty and subchasers 2 types of gunboats and the odd pt boat at ports.

I'm also a big fan of the deck gun. Anything smaller than a DD and I go at it with the deck gun. So my missions last several real time hours and my strategy is to come in fast and noisy, submerge when I see I'm being fired on, turn tail and wait for the DD's to come to me and take them out at 6-700ft with a down the throat shot then surface and take the merchants out at leisure. the DD's zig zag all the way but at that range it's hard to miss and I rarely need more than a single torpedo. Then it's hunt around for another convoy and rinse and repeat. I really like the game but the monotony is getting to me.

If anyone could recommend a total conversion mod that reworks the entire campaigns then please let me know how you play the game. I've been reluctant to do a total conversion because I've heard of problems and glitches and I wasn't sure if one would even work with my Digital download version of the game. Even with just the ship pack and US medals fix mod; I am getting more than a few game crashes. I know the digital versions are different from the standard game because I can't update the game from ubisoft. I have to get special updates from D2D only.

I'd like to try both the american and german campaigns and especially a japanese campaign. I don't get much time to play or check the forums regularly thanks to RL getting in the way ( I'm disabled and was being cared for then the wife had a stroke and I went from being cared for to being the caretaker) but Last I heard the Japanese campaign was still a work in progress. So please enlighten me as to the favorite campaign mod to try out for each side.

Thanks again guys!
