I like IUB so far, clearer water option, faster reload (15 secs, a bit more reasonable), and all the other features that i like (Harbor traffic is realistic and nice) with msgs from Bdu etc..


Whats some vets outtake on the mod situation? And your experience, maybe you can help me get the most of my game here
I'm using IUB 1.02 now with SH3 Commander 2.4 (along with a few small personal mods of mine to put real u-boat aces and my father into my officer team and tweak the German language menu text a little), plus I've just started testing out the NYGM ship damage mod beta. I'm getting plenty of lone merchants (in fact, on my first patrol so far with this configuration in late April 1940 I've encountered a lone C3, small freighter and trawler (all sunk), plus a lone German destroyer and a couple of lone German merchants and a lone British destroyer (put a torp into her bow but she limped off into a heavy storm and I lost her).

So, at least this early, IUB seems to have plenty of single ships wandering around - maybe that changes later in the war, but it will be a while before I will be able to tell. I just use SH3 Commander to tweak some of the settings (like reload times to 15 secs, wave height and to play with fatigue models) and to get the cool patrol reports with ship names and career history details - I just do my crew management medals etc using the in-game stock approach. I'm liking this combo pretty well so far, but I'm sure I'll keep experimenting 'cause there are just so many cool mods out there to try - this is a very creative community
