No contacts are reported. I havnt tried reading it myself but theoretically should have to. Even in port nothing comes up. Ive researched and aparently SH4 has some sort of radar bug where it only reports contacts if you are facing north? havnt tried it yet but....still....

hi, Id like to report a strange problem.

On my 6th Patrol in a Type IIB u-boat I was given the objective to photograph Fremantle, Australia, from Kiel.... I don't think my fuel will get me even 1/4 of the way, and the strangest thing is the order was completely in French.

The orders in French is not new, and Fifi did a "fix" for a portion of the missions - but the other issues, makes me wonder if you fellows had deleted the Save folder prior to playing DW. Can you both also post your mod list from JSGME "Tasks..." menu? Where were you sailing from with the IIB VoidsX, and what was the date?

Is it possible to make it so you can get new uboats as you progress through the war. Like you start with a Type II then upgrade to a Type VII etc...

No, SH4 (OM based) doesn’t allow that. Or At least it’s bugged.
Works for American side not German side.

But again, German side, commanders didn’t changed U-Boat type that often, not to say never for vast majority.

What of using the U.S. progression, supplanting the subs from the U.S. side, with u boats instead... and extending the requirements to an increase in what is there to set up for a transfer to another boat... say length of service, rather than tonnage sank..?

Just spit balling here... I seem to recall seeing that some Kaleuns, did go from 1 u boat to another.

We tried the American way of upgrade but didn’t work with OM.

surprizing as it may seem, there seem to be multiple code sets in SH4, one for the Germans (evolution of SH3) and one the US.

if you play both sides you will notice some fundamental differences.
some things work differently.
Fifi's DW team tried very hard to set-right some of the things that were different between the German side and US side but we could not figure out some things. so, we reached a point where we were satisfied and started playing again (vs modding, fixing, etc).

when i decide to play DW (as i am at the moment), i decide which of the eight theatres i want to play in and/or which boat (8 or 10 boats) i want to drive and go do that.
that's different from the US side but hey, you're looking for diversion, right?
