The Grey Wolves Supermod - Impending Completion

Kpt. Lehmann · 02-21-06, 12:56 AM

Salute! Fellow U-Boat Kaleuns,

After three months and hundreds of hours of work, it is
my pleasure to announce the impending completion of "The
Grey Wolves" supermod.

Until now our team has largely worked in silence for a
number of reasons and rumors have been plentiful. I
haven't spoken of it sooner, because we were just too
busy building it.

First and foremost I tell you now that it is a FREEWARE
mod compilation and is in no way related to any nefarious
entity.

The Grey Wolves will be a stand-alone, one-stop-shop mod
compilation incorporating many bugfixes that will likely
appeal at least in part to everyone. Our intention from
the beginning has always been to build a mod that feels
COMPLETE and is useable by everyone without the need for
continuously updating to new versions. Enough new
and different content will be included, that GW be
totally interesting in its own right. We will of course
offer updates as new things come along that can't be
ignored, but it should be a simpler process than before.

We also realize that everyone among the modding community
faithful has their own personal set-ups. GW should be
compatible with most and/or at the least easily moddable
to include your favorite flavors.

At the moment I don't want to go into exact detail, but I
can tell you this... We have changed the look and feel of
almost EVERYTHING in SH3. No major sim element has gone
un-modded. The Grey Wolves will also carry the largest
and fullest campaign world currently available in SH3.
We have focused on "immersion" and "visual realism" to
hold hands with our efforts towards simulator realism.
You can also expect to see many of the best graphics
available from the subsim mod community from both new and
old artists. We truly hope to make new and old players become
attached to their U-Boats and crews without giving up and
throwing the game away in disgust.

Primary contributors and fellow Grey Wolves have included
Marhkimov, Rubini, Gouldjg, CCIP, Rulle34, Syxx-Killer,
Pablo, Type941, NippelSpanner, myself, and in many ways... all of you.

Every day now, hundreds of our war veterans pass from us
and take with them priceless living history. We intend
to make more people interested in learning about the men
who fought in these "Iron Coffins" and lived the Battle
of the Atlantic.

It will be a large download when the time comes... but prepare to have your socks blown off!!

Prost!

For the Team it was very hard to keep silence...ok for me at least, but finally this moment has come...

VonHelsching · 02-21-06, 02:44 AM

Any details on the new aspects?

Kpt. Lehmann · 02-21-06, 03:05 AM

I am going to be very conservative and say that we hope to release in three weeks or less. HOWEVER, we will not sacrifice quality for speed. If we need more time we will use it.

Regarding further details... lol well, I said I didn't want to go into further detail... but since you asked.

Our U-Boat damage model is an amalgamation of the Hollywood and Diehard mod... further tweaked and tested by me and Marhkimov.

We will also have two realtime fatigue variants for you to choose from.

I will be going on-duty for 24 hours very soon. In the meantime, maybe some of the GW team can say more.

See you all on Wednesday.
