Interior flooding added i think .

Just for the record, since Meo seems to be pushing the PTO vs ATO thing.

I played SH3 for im guessing at least 2 years.
- I came up with (i think) the original type 21 battery recharge fix.
- I figured out how to change flotilla's and bases around.
- i did the original bit on creating a monsun boat flotilla in the indian ocean
- i scripted traffic for the Carribean and Indian ocean.
- I helped figure out how Sensors worked at a time when nobody was sure about it.
- and yes, though we have our differences now, but at one point i was on the GWX team when GWX first made the transition from TGW to GWX.

So as the uboat/ATO scene goes. Been there, done that, been around the block, and did something. I did all that, and the ATO/Uboat scene wasn't even the theater i wanted.

After that, i took to Sh4. And here i'd note now that the first group of people to fire shots on the forum were hardcore ATO fans who were crying that SH4 was a PTO game. I never forgot that, particuarlly after putting time in a theater i didn't want to begin with. Now as Sh4 goes, to say that RFB and TMO saved Sh4 out of the frying pan would probably be citing the obvious. Now this might be a wild boast, but it's entirely possible that indirectly, i (and the RFB guys) did quite a bit to help support the continuation of the series by moving our supermods to SH4 version 1.5. If past forum posts are any indicator, then many people are/were buying UBM who wouldn't have otherwise as a result. UBM was, i think, an attempt to squeeze more money out of the series in order to finance future projects. I don't know if all of this is true, but it's a hunch i've had.

Now that i have the choice of my preffered theater, why would i move? I have thought about trying to mod a PTO game out of SH5, but it occurs to me that such an endeavor is ultimatly, pissing in the wind due to interior changes alone. What am i going to do, mod a gato with a german crew and all type 9 interior? (nevermind i stuck a german type 9 radio room into a fleet boat interior.

) The changes are too vast, so there's no point in it unless Ubi releases an addon pack. Hence, my passing interest in SH5. Am I upset that SH5 is going back to the ATO? Sure. If you waited 12 years for you preferred theater and get tossed a buggy POS, and then have it abandoned, how would you feel about it?
