I am simply informing GWX users that though your mod will function with GWX, it breaks the damage model balance in a number of ways.

Users are quite free to paint their U-boats purple if they like too. They can also argue that purple U-boats are 'realistic.'

oooooooh, but that is just mean.. :rotfl:

lol... you know what would be great? something in between...

maybe...

what if...

what if we paint the uboat with the colours of the Arsenal? or do you prefer Manchester United?

Sorry for the wrenches... I know you didnt intend to hit me...

In all seriousness, I'm not being mean to you.

However, there are two things that you are beginning to understand about modding SH3.

1) There isn't enough string to tie your shoes with.

2) That string is attached to many other things. You can pull on that string... but there is a price to pay for making that pull.

Those are the cold facts.

Yes, you're quite right indeed...

And some strings can untie all your shoe if pulled.

Only if we had that SDK from ubisoft... :hmm:

And dont worry... Im not mad at you, I know that you're not the monster that appears to be, only self defending against a drunk sailor that is a mud thrower and didn't apreciate your hard work. A newby.

But dont worry, I've learn my lesson, Im a cool guy. Probably I was drunk that day... and maybe a little pissed after a tine elco boat (which i consider a bilge rat) triggered my death screen in 5 min using a 20mm. I mean, come on... that must piss off every single kaleun in this forum... :rotfl:

But like I said, dark times...

Fair enough.

Just a side note though...

In real life, if your U-boat was raked with 20mm armor piercing gunfire for five minutes, it would be VERY likely that many of the crew would be killed or injured.

PT boats have more than one weapon that is a threat to U-boats.

(Heck, a .50 caliber armor piercing shell would do the job.)

Secondarily, you'd be unable to dive to any useful depth due to other damage. A U-boat hull is a pressure hull... not an 'armored' hull.

Yes, you're right indeed...

But that dont change the fact that being killed by an elco boat while you are in the kitchen taking some coffee would leave any kaleun more than pissed about it... the "I'll go to the kitchen and Im back in 5, nothing bad should happen" sort of deal... but again, not the game's fault, it's the kaleuns fault...

Just funny tho :rotfl:

Pissing at first, funny later..

It could have been worse.

It might have been a merchant instead.
