(RELEASED) Official GWX - Knight's Cross Edition v1.0

Igor_EJ · 02-28-25, 03:14 AM

Hello! First of all I would like to thank everyone involved in the creation of this wonderful mod. In my opinion, Knight Cross is the best thing that was created in the world of submarine simulators!
Question: during the second patrol (August 30 - September 10) I managed to sink 47 thousand tons, plus shot down 3 planes. For such achievements I should have at least been given the Iron Cross. However, I only received a badge. However, the crew awards included 23 badges and 2 2nd class Iron Crosses.
Is this a bug in the game or is it designed that way? I ask because I want to play a historically accurate game, full immersion so to speak, full simulation. In the same Onealex Edition uses a system of awards as in life, ie by the number of sunk tonnage. Is it the same system in Knight Cross or a different one? Thanks!

Also, there is a question regarding the radiograms received during patrols. During the second patrol described above, a radiogram was received about reassigning boats to ports. Mine, U-52, was reassigned to Kiel from Wilhelmshaven. But the mission assignment (F8) listed Wilhelmshaven as the port of destination. I arrived, according to the radiogram, at Kiel and found that I could not get into the boat settings, etc. I had to reload the last save and sail to my native Wilhelmshaven. Question: during patrols to follow the instructions of radiograms or only tasks through F8?

The messages above are from Igor_EJ. Can someone help him?

Sorry, I didn't work on those parts of the mod, so I don't know the answers to these questions.

For the first question, I would think that the renown system works the same as it did in GWX3.

The owner and developers can help you i guess.
Do you have other mods that are mixed with GWX?

Hi Igor. I am sure that you will excuse the unintentional oversight.

To answer your questions:
First a clarification...
GWX-KC is not Onealex's work. Onealex's unofficial personal version of GWX depends on our old official GWX 3.0 work to function properly, and over time much was changed that created instabilities in that work.

GWX-Knight's Cross is an official continuation of the original work done by the original GWX development team. Many of the faces have changed, but some did not.

The reward system in GWX-KC is much the same as it was in GWX 3.0 released back in 2008 or 2009. Onealex put his version into the soup for his version of what he wanted for GWX.

I have been considering making changes to our reward system in the official GWX-KC work, but for now there are no solid plans. I am considering it. That is all. Right now, it is as you have seen.

Regarding the radio messages. Some are proper orders for you, but most of those messages are for the sake of immersion, to prevent the old feeling that you are out there by yourself. You may also on occasion see AI U-boats on patrol.... they are there for the same reason.... to produce the feeling that the war lives and breathes.

Your F8 screen is the most accurate to follow for knowing your orders.

I hope that helps.

Sink'em ALL!!!
