[WIP] TMO: Nine Delta Two

ASW plane has to detect submerged snorkeling U-boat. This is not as easy as detecting U-boat sailing surfaced because:

- aerial radar detection range is much shorter against snorkel

- visual detection range is also shorter

Thus snorkeling should improve U-boat stealthiness against Allied ASW aircrafts.

PS. It is always possible another modder downgrade Duci's uber-planes to the stock ones.

Or Ducimus might have a few options to select from!

I learned awhile ago that it doesn't matter how i design a mod, i will never please everyone. That and no matter what i do, or what i include, or how much i include, people will overlay umpteen mods over the top of it anyway.

So the only thing i can do, is design the mod to what i think is best by my own judgment. Nobody may believe it, but i do actually think ahead, and think things out, considering all elements at play, before i make a design decision.

I know it will be very good, you put your heart into what you do,

but everyone's taste is different, therefore you can't please them all!

Could you share with me stock SH4 English version files found in Data/UPCData and Data/UPCDataGE folders because my SH4 localization is somehow corrupted and I do not have descriptions of weapons and upgrades at all.

Here you go:

Many thanks! I can reinstall SH4/UBM now.

Besides I collected data about all Type IXD2 U-boats which actually operated from Penang as a part of "Monsun Gruppe". I counted only U-boats that successfully reached Japanese bases and were not sunk en-route. Here you are: U-178, U-181, U-196, U-859 (had snorkel since February 1944), U-861, U-862 (had snorkel since at least August 1944).

So there were only six such boats with two of them equipped with snorkel. I think this data may be useful for all "Monsun Campaign" creators.
