I followed the instructions and I'm up and running. I wasn't able to use 4Gig Patch so I used LAA. I was getting an error message I couldn't work past. I've had success with LAA in other deployments.

I found an alternative to d3d Antilag. I used the nVidia control panel and set 50fps for all my older games. I'm cruising in my brand new shiny Type IX looking to rain destruction on the Allied shipping.

Thanks for all the help! This sim is much more fun when it works!

Question regarding orders:

The marker on the map doesn't match the written orders. Which one do I follow?

the map.

the mission is programmed to follow zones, triggers, and objectives that are contained in the mission file. the orders are just text...either typed or copied.

follow the map. (stay on the path

)

glad you got DW working.

one tip: DW does not play like the PTO. you will not experience the upgrades to better, newer boats as your career progresses. just play one boat until you either perish or get retired. then, go skipper another, different boat. or play another theatre. you can play in the Baltic, the Med, the Black Sea, the Arctic, the North Sea, the Western Approaches, or Mid-Atlantic. that should keep you busy for a day or two.

good luck.

So I can't 'buy' upgrades with renown points? I just have to start with a boat later in the war that's equipped with radar, fat and lut torpedoes, etc.?

Yes you can buy upgrades with renown points such as new equipments for your actual U-Boat.
But game doesn’t allow to upgrade for later U-Boat unfortunately. That’s the bad side of this game I’m afraid.
So if you start with IIB or VIIB, you’ll have to keep it until the end...
Best is to have more than one career, with different U-Boat types

Hello Gentlemen, sorry for bothering you, and for my bad english, but I have a question:
this mod is great, but some ships' models are, in my opinion, a little bit "old", compared to the submarines, so why don't add any new ships (merchant and warships) and their "mouvments" across the see from other mods? for example various German ships, together with the entire Romanian, Bulgarian, Finnish and Soviet Fleets from "Soviet Waterway" mod, the Italian Fleet from "British Med Campaign" and enlarge the merchant marine with the ships from FotRSUltimate.
I know, for doing this, you have to request them, but why dom't try?

Again: sorry for the bother and my orrible usage of english grammar.

Fifi · 09-23-20, 01:39 PM

^^^^ your english is ok, i could understand!

Well, the mod is open for any new improvement, including ships

Any guy with some talent and skills is welcomed!

what Fifi said. +1

my apologies for the confusion as i have never considered new(er) equipment as an "upgrade". POV i guess.

Macgregor the Hammer · 09-24-20, 05:03 PM

It sounds to me like the campaigns are very similar to RFB. You choose a boat and you and the crew grow in experience and talent. That is something I like about RFB.

BTW, just got my first kill off the coast of Ireland. A 6000 ton freighter with a 2200 meter shot. I like the RAOBF. Or as a friend of mine calls it Kaleun Krunch's geheimes Decoderrad

I found a pair of eyes floating in the command room. I put them in the Lucky Bag. No one has claimed them

Do I have something corrupted?

I am on a type viib in April 1941 and I did not receive any tower or torpedo upgrade, I started in September 1939, is it normal ???

yes, kinda sorta.

unlike previous versions of SH, SH4 does not make a big deal when you receive a Turm upgrade. in fact, under many situations, a Kaleun will not receive the upgrade even if a new one is due. i have had that happen to me many times. it is difficult to understand the conditions under which an upgrade will or won't happen because it is locked up in the SH4 and therefore not open to interpretation....or modification.

there is a hack available if you are interested. you need to be able to use Notepad and copy-paste between ActiveUserPlayerUnits.UPC files. let me know either here or in a PM

So I understand that I must continue like this until 1945, I have a lot of renown points and I can only spend it on the crew

probably. if the Brits or the Yanks don't get you first. Wait until May 1943.

seriously, even if the Turm upgrade were working, it wouldn't cost you points....it would just happen. but that is an SH3 thing, not SH4.
