I've never played AOD but I received the original game's manual and map as a gift. Nevertheless.............

But unfortunatly after several months I found that lack of convoys,

I'm running RUb and the latest Improved Convoys mod. No such problem here.

Furthermore, way before I was using either of those mods, I had sufficient convoy contact and reports.

Are you using the game's map to travel in the area of known convoy routes? Do you put your hydrophones to good use?

not many radio messages

I used to have the Radio Messages mod installed but I stopped using it, as my game is set to drop down to 1x TC when a message comes in.

But if you're playing at 1x TC anyway, why don't you just install the mod? The messages will not really be relevant but they'll add atmosphere you might feel is missing.

(aces of the deep had were you can send contacts in

This can be done in SH3. Click on your radio operator's reports icon.

and get a wolfpack

OK. This is missing.

also you could radio a sos if needed and a supply or repairs), the resuply in the middle of the sea

The Milkcow Mod exists and has been incorporated in the latest version of Rubini's Harbor Mod.

(If ya run out of fuel your screwed in SHIII),

You can surface and select RETURN TO BASE. No, not as realistic but not a killer, either.

able to abandon ship and being picked up or become a prisoner, and the great wolf packs that would lure away the escorts and tell you when to move in. These all are aspects I miss about Aces of the deep.

Admittedly, those would be nice, though I assume that after abandoning ship and heading for POW camp, AOD offered no ESCAPE PRISON options. So that's pretty irrelevant. A captain should go down with his ship anyway, someone always used to say.

I love the graphics and the new features such as fireing from the guns or the detailed harbors in SHIII but there will never be an Aces of the deep.

I cannot comment but obviously you wax nostalgic.
[quote]I have tried RUB1.44 but found that when using this engin a deck gun takes 2 min to reload. Historical facts state that it took 2 min to man but less than 30 sec to reload.[quote]
There are a million and one ways to restore or customize this RUb setting. One of the easiest is via the latest version of the SH3 Commander utility.

Also when I used this engin I noticed no capital or merchant ships in harbors .

Again, you desperately need the Harbor Traffic Mod.

I like the game but I am afraid there will never be the days I had when I was a kid and played Aces of the Deep with my dad. I will always remember the game in a way that it really got me into suberines and the only way my father and I spend time.

Now there's something no mod can make up for.
