And now theres a great mod to give them back their German voices from SH3. Is good to suport the company in their efforts too.
Some U boats used for cargo hauling and some commerce raiders were active in the Pacific, that's it. The addon really is not about the Pacific, but the Indian Ocean, a much neglected theatre where a few boats were indeed active. I think this is the first time I have ever seen a game simulating the U boat battles in the indian ocean. Much love to the devs highlighting this area.

So we have two of the three Oceans covered now. The most epic one has yet to be done. Most probably by modders.

You know, I wouldnt really be interested in playing as a Japanese sub much. You didnt really hear of them being used as they should and getting much success (apart from one sinking a carrier)

Although, I probably wouldnt pass up the chance to have a go in one of those submarine aircraft carriers :hmm:

41 German Uboats were active in the Indian Ocean, U 862 of them was the only one operating in the Pacific.
