NYGM Tonnage War Mod (current v2.6) 8/11/07

[Stiebler]

@Coronas:

I post in Tomi's Type XXIII U-boat threat about a possible error.

Thanks. My reply is in the Type XXIII thread.

Waiting for the new release. Can you tell us any advance?

The new release will contain some significant new advances.

The main features are these:
1. The Type XXIII boat (obviously).
2. The Real Weather Fix.
3. Racerboy's exhaust smoke for all U-boats. (Used with permission.)
4. Iambecomelife's new merchant fleet, incorporated into convoys.
5. Key changes made to stop the way in which a U-boat could pass into a convoy from the front, at periscope depth, without ever being detected by the front escort. You will have to be much more careful now.
6. Schnorchelling improved, so that the crew doesn't die of exhaustion in stormy weather. (This is much more complicated than it sounds.)
7. 'Bold' asdic decoy made much more realistic with new, unpublished, research. [Incidentally, this new version of Bold is not included with the FuMB37XXIIINYGM mod, so you need to be more careful with the XXIII than the way I have been playing.]
8. SH3Patrol program updated with new patrol grids for the Type XXIII boat. (Also other changes.)

There are numerous small changes, fixes, adjustments to the campaign files and air power, and similar.

The whole mod is ready for release, except for the difficulty with rezoning some of IABL's merchant fleet, which has caused the long delay. Der Teddy Bar has been handling this part, I've been doing the torpedo testing and final adjustments of the corrected ships.
