Time for this weeks uber update for those who care.

Well uber 2.0 went out to testing this week but will
be sometime before its finished,

2.0 is now as those who've been following along
already know is now based on a typeIXD2 instead
of the originals IXB hull.

2.0 now has Directors cut auto evasion maneuvers mod
built into it. and what a huge difference it makes to
the enjoyment of the experience.
AEM is a little quirkey but if you master its quirks
it is so worth the effort.
now you can order your crew to zig zag while
you fight the ship. a tremendous enhancement
of uber, (although not really intended it was for video makers)
but it works great.

when I used to do manual driving and we would get in
range of 2nd escort group in the included mission they
would score 1 for 32 shells
with my original evasion pattern prototype
they would score 1 for 16 shells
yesterday after I released it the day before I got to
use it in an actual game of surface combat as opposed to
testing and wow althought I wouldnt garauntee the
result we sat in amazement yesterday with our
hands off the wheel and watched while the
autopilot as it were got up there
result was as best we could count
1 hit for 64 shells from elite six elite blackswans from GWX

an astounding result to say the least but whats
more important is that it reduces the skippers
workload down to enjoyable, a fantastic addition.

2.0 also has the following changes

More speed (37.5 kts on glassy seas with no engine upgrades)

more armour on the conning tower gun postions and a few
armour tweaks for the rest of the sub to make twenty
minutes in heavy surface combat survivable.

Ships mass and displacement increased to 2500 tons surfaced
for improved stability in high speed extreme maneuvers
(she still rolls about 35 to 35 but this is an improvement
over rolling 60 to 60 ) also this was partly resultant
of simultaneous speed change so a balance had to be met
she still rolls under high speed like she should and
is steady at all other speeds

upgrade power boost now 1.125 and 1.25 respectively
(112.5% or 125% original speed rating)
peridepth and schnorkel depth both now 12.5 m
that I guess will conclude this weeks uberupdate for now.
