Silly mod idea: Real U boat Cook! - Page 2

Going back to the original idea, if there was a SDK to be had, this is something I'd like to see. In fact ANY mod that added some general day-to-day management to pass the time would be nice. It was when I realized I was just cruising through patrols at 1024x most of the time that I put this game down for a while, but mods like this would be incentive to come back.

why don't you just change the skin on crewman to give him a white apron, and wedgie cap, and holdin a soup tureen instead of a pair of binoc's.

Voila. Instant cook.

I would love to see some life ashore... after a long patrol my crew would like to entertain themselves ....

I miss the old cafe from AOD- nothing more than a screenshot with different messages you could access. Some were true, others were false- but it was part of the challenge to figure out which was which.

I'm sure you could add this in with Beery's Commander edition, if it isn't already, but it would be nice to have in the stock game as a standalone.

It would be nice if Ubisoft could implement this in an expansion pack or something, with your officers and men in dress uniforms sitting in a hotel. Nothing too fancy, just a few simple animations for drinking or conversation. The rumors could be simple plin text like they were in AOD, so they wouldn't have to worry about creating new audio files. It's things like this that add to the immersion of any game.

The German Army had "iron rations" also. But they were for emergency use only, and could only be eaten on the orders of a superior officer.
The normal meals came from the field kitchen or "gulaschkanone", and would include soup of some kind and other hot food. This was done whenever possible before having to resort to the iron rations..
