A type IX on mine laying duty and milchkuh mission. That would be epic.

I know right? Holy beans, I need this now. Minelaying at the entrance to Liverpool harbour in a calm moonlit sea.

But honestly, I'm more excited about just having a properly-sized fleet boat. I don't even care about the extended range all that much; it's just that the size affords it plenty of freedom that the Typ VII just wouldn't provide. More torpedoes, more spacious living quarters, higher top speed, bigger deck gun, more deck guns, an extra torpedo tube... ach ja, bitteschön.

And, I mean, the increased range is also nice. One of my favorite parts of SH5 was operating out of Dakar, so the range would definitely come in handy there. Ahh, sinking unescorted convoys off the coast of Africa... and it felt like 1 in every 3 kills I made was with the deck gun. Submariner's paradise, jawohl meine Herr'n!

...aaaand we still don't have the IX. If only mere imagination could conjure the code and graphical models necessary for such an addition.

Sad Gethy is sad.

Well one should make a totally new interior, AI crew and different looks, add different speech and questions and commands etcetera.
That being said, it would be epic if the code to this game one day was released. But hardcoded stuff in the game cannot be changed sadly. So I will keep enjoying the Wolves of Steel for now...

Same. One day, perhaps. Until then, TWoS is pretty much the best thing ever.

Woah, when did the op stop working on the type 9? I had read a bit of the few pages and then skipped forward. And read somthing about someone else starting it.

Yeah, so apparently they just disappeared. No word on the project since Spring of this year. I've been pondering what it would take to get the project running again, but I don't think I have the skills. And now I'm largely hoping that the exporter will solve the problem, even though I really have no idea how any of that is supposed to work.
