Give me the details and I may be able to do something.
Got lots of time during this lock down period.

That’s again very kind of you proposing your help

My english is not that good enough to explain the details of those upgrade fails in OM, but I’m quite certain our friend Propbeanie would tell you successfully

If I remember correctly (now, seriously, how often has ~that~ happened lately...

) - but from memory (and correct me if I'm wrong please), there are equipment mis-matches between the turms and attached equipment (aka: "appurtenances"), such as radar masts and the like. The Pacific side had the same issue, but with OM, it is a herculean task to match everything. There are a LOT of turms and a LOT of appurtenances...

Wintergardens do not help, I'm sure... Don't forget that most of the subs in OM are all set to the same "UpgradeClass" setting in their upcge files, so you generally do not get submarine upgrades.

A program that just does the file editing for you because that is the most difficult part for me. Also how come I cannot get equipment upgrades. When I fixed my turm upgrade issue, I had BOLD 1 and a upgraded Hydrophone that I did not have access to before. How does one unlock equipment upgrades and how does one get a new sub, I have been getting medals for every patrol but the game wont give me a new sub yet. It is the middle of 1942 btw.

The new equipment comes by date usually. Some mods have it to where you can "buy" them early for renown points, but not all do. You also have to be at a location that has the equipment "available". I cannot remember for certain where the "center" of availability is on the German side, but Kiel sticks in my mind. The equipment emanates from there and flows outward, such that if something is available on June 1, 1943, that means at Kiel, while it might be August in Norway and France. A caveat for the equipment availability is that you have to have a proper "mounting" point for it on your submarine. So a radar that needs a particular mast that is not available on a VIIB will never show there. However, the VIIC might have the proper mast, and you get the radar. I do not recall if that example is the case in OM or Dark Waters, but the principle applies. Lastly, OM does not have boat upgrades until you qualify for a Walthers. There are no "steps" through the boats in OM other than that, which carries into Dark Waters.

Is it possible to make it so you can get boat upgrades from a VIIB to a VIIC etc...

Are you planning on modifying the player's crew ai sight map contact updating through the periscope when under water because even under decent conditions (ie not total fog) and during the day. I still have to get somewhat close even though I can see it clearly myself when my crew still havent been able to see it.

I just wanted to say that I love this mod, i tried SH4 many years ago and just couldn't take to it but after finding this mod on Youtube during the lockdown period i love it.

Well done to Fifi and anyone else involved in making this mod you really are a gifted bunch of talented modders.

Stay Safe

Hi! I love this mod, especially the sounds, and the interiors, but I just wanted to report 2 bugs, that I encountered.

Type IXD2 has a little texture bug.

In the Lorient harbor, my submarine (IXD2) is shaking, and it won't move, unless im using time compression. (I think it's an OM bug, but I'm not sure.)

Anyhow, It's a great mod and I appreciate your work!
