I'm in late 42 Loriente and there are no friendly aircraft as I leave base.This is my second career and I remember in first one there were always two of them.Anyone know why?

I think its to litlle aircraft action in GW, thats my only complaint.

i thought that also ... untill in my 28th patrol january 1945 i got myself transfered to bergen on the entire war i never saw an enemy plane , so when the watch said plane sighted instead of diving i went outside to see what they where ... B-24s !!!!! the dive order was too late ... that was my end.

Regarding aircraft:

If you want more of them, off the top of my head, i *think* all you need to do is replace one cfg file. I'm at work currently and thus dont have any files infront of me, but here's what i would do.

Go to uboot-realsimulations.com and look for Jayce's Improved Airpower mod. D/L this and extract JUST the CFG file located in data/cfg/ . I forgte the exact name, but its NOT the AI_crew.cfg or sim.cfg that's probably there as well, its the other one, will have "air" somewhere in its name. Use this file, and replace the existiing simiarly named file in the gw/data/cfg directory and renable the mod, or dont disable/renanble GW at all anddrop it directly into sh3/data/cfg so you have a pseudo backup of the orginal file in the GW mod directory.

Having done that, you should see more aircraft.

Want action? Load UBWAC 1.7 on top of GW1.1a

Never a dull moment. I did a career like that and loved every patrol. Only complaint I could possibly have had was when when I did stupid things to myself, especially in the late war. <I think I'll go ahead and shoot down that bomber......dummy>

I loved that combo for a while, before I switched to UBWAC 1.92 full version. It's my favorite out of all the supermods. Plenty of targets [that actually sink]. Harder then stock but not as unforgiving as the other ones. And there isn't a bunch of "broken boat" tweaks in the name of realism. Supposed to be an update coming out soon.

Went to U-boat.realsimulation.com and am confused which file to d/l. U-boatWarAce v. 1.7.7 is a standalone. Is that the right file? Also couldn't find v1.92 full version. What about Uboat-War-Ace 2.7z? Thanks.

I honestly dont recommend installing another large mod on top of another unless your VERY FAMILIAR with sh3 fire structures and how certain files interact with others. It's not always a simple drag and drop, infact, most of the time it's not.

airstrike.cfg in the data/cfg directory. You can modify the airstrike probabilities. I'm not an expert, but I tried messing with it and couldn't figure out a good combo. Probably best to use one someone "designed" rather than a clutz like me hacking at it.

I dont have the files infront of me so its not like i can post anything more specific then where to get a good replacement file. Much easier to explain.
