[REL] A British Med Campaign

While I'm right now in the middle of enjoying One of our Submarines, I've found this for possible purchase:


Submarine Torbay

Since Torbay spent a great part of her career in the Mediterranean, I thought it could be an interesting read. Has anybody here read it?

I've just found out that in www.uboat.net there are patrol reports of UK submarines as well (sadly, the only ones I've found online), so I'm making a few additions to the patrol areas and target selection, as well as some more convoy routes.

I've also found, after adding a number of messages to messages.txt and deleting most of the Pacific ones, that now it doesn't work properly. Probably a format problem. Has anybody more info about this file?.

Then I have a question for keltos01. You did a version of the T-Class with the three rear firing tubes (the Dutch Zwaardvisch), but I think it is not compatible with the 10-forward tubes version. Is it possible to have it reworked so they can both be eligible in the campaign?.

what?! where more precisely? I'm going blind here...

Messages.txt I've always found easiest to work with in a spreadsheet, like Excel. Import textfile and once finished, just export as tab-formatted text.

If you want me to look at your messages.txt, please upload somewhere.


Don't know that specific book, but thanks for the heads-up

You may also enjoy "Unbroken" by Mars and "The History of the British U-Class Submarine" by Walters...

You could also try CRASH DIVE in action with H.M.S.SAFARI

There are snippets, not close to all of them, but something at least. Some T-Class boats also have a nice Googlemap thing with some of their positions during patrols. Check HMS Torbay, here is where I found the reference to that book.

This is what I did, but then they don't show up ingame. I'll try to upload the file later and send you a PM with the link, thanks for the offer .

I'll keep those names for later on.

Ah, now I'm at ease again.
Those are not patrol reports. These are patrol reports: http://wwiiarchives.net/servlet/documents/usa/100/0
Original documents photographed/scanned and uploaded.

Guess I'll still have to visit the National Archives then...


I can't see any errors in your messages.txt??

Perhaps SH4 simply dislike the use of "MEDFLEET"??

I'd have to remap ids and all, it's basically two versions of the same sub.

I'll think about it, but you already have the U and T ...

and the 11th tube causes CTD when using the TBT, never could fathom why because it works in the scope view.

OK, keltos. Thanks for the explanation.

Don't worry about it, it is probably a problem with the game rather than the submarine. I'll leave as it is, with the 10-forward tubes version.
