Anyway, we have already Lurker's excellent Operation Monsoon, which probably is still ignored by many people because of its name: They think it is an "Indian Ocean Only" mod, which is not true. OM already covers the whole 1939-45 in ALL teathers, from the Arctic waters to the Black sea, and Indian Ocean, and of course the whole Atlantic and Mediterranean. It's crazy that such an amazing mod is largely ignored by many SH3 users who also have the SH4 disc lying around and not installed For those of you that do not know, it even has added most of IABL ships, and many SH3 ones, so there is a HUGE variety of units around, something SH3 users can only dream of with 4GB+ of memory. And not just that, it also features most UBoat types with proper characteristics, including minelayers!!! And with no need to use "existing slots" as in SH3

In its current status, with the campaign stuff done by Lurker, and the other "difficult" area (The GUI) cracked by Karamazov, I bet that a dedicated team of modders could easily add the needed finishing touches easily and provide the best ever uboat simulation. Just extend all details that Ducimus has added the IXD2 of 9Delta2 to all other UBoats, and some minor stuff, and there you go!

Yes! I have OM and is a really great mod, with a future I don´t see in SH5. Adding the interios and crews (as Nine Delta Two by Ducimus), an a SH4 Commander or similar, and other candy stuff as SH3 (flags on subs, pennants, variety of uniforms, sounds, etc.), probably set out the classic SH3.

I continue to play SH3 because SH3 Commander, but I play OM also, and is a fantastic experience.

Operation Monsun, OMEGU and Nine delta Two integrated could be an awesome "combimod". (I´m thinking to work in the OM campaign for my use, I want to transfer the OM campaign and other stuff in 9D2, making a 92D ATO mod. (only with the IXD sub...). If I arrive to a good result, I´ll request the authorizations from Lurker and Ducimus and I´ll publish the mod.

Regards.
