Thus far I have read complaints about the Uboat in the PTO. The uboat is to be in the Indian Ocean. If I'm not mistaken, this was a place of operation for the uboat. I'm really getting the feeling that some think they will be sailing a German uboat from Pearl!!!!!

good news, plus this may finally entice the SH3 modders to switch to SH4.

Yeah, while I'm not in favor of any "wasted" effort WRT add ons for Wolves of the PACIFIC, I have been trying to correct the notion at ubi that it is fantasy. Course the idea that 5-6 U-boats had more impact on the Pacific War then the entire IJN submarine force is patently absurd.

What some there fail to realize is the "bang for the buck" factor. I posted at the zoo about it after a fashion. Adding SH3 stuff had to be fairly easy for them, unlike adding japanese externals, internals and crew. The stuff is all there, and could be ported over in a straightforward way with just upgraded textures (1024, plus the added O and N stuff) and possibly upgraded DMs.

You can't fault them for doing that if it was easy to do. If they spent a lot of time creating german supply ships (most were sunk en route anyway) I'd be a little annoyed if they didn't make some badly needed small escorts for the IJN. Same reason, bang for the buck. Chose 3d units to build based on them, one, being targets/adversaries, two, being built in large numbers. To me that means coastal jap shipping, and/or matsu and a kaibokan.

Looks like KFM continues his god complex. What a loser! He is totally blind to the fact that his only function in this has been that of a shell hole in a submarine.:rotfl:He thinks violating confidences with Ubi is proof if his "habilities." I'm glad I spend my time here, and that he had the good sense to send his surrogate.

He hasn't got a Messiah or 'God' complex. His actions stem from an inferiority complex and justifiably so, he is inferior.

I gotta unconditionally surrender to that one: point, game and match to The General for that observation
