[REL] Fifi Compilation for OM+OMEGU

[propbeanie]

That strange acting feller with the weird mustache is asking how you got a Type 23 in the Black Sea in 1944? That is a top-secret project, super hush-hush, and we will have to come and discuss this matter with you...

hey...it's his sub....i'm just driving it...saying heil, heil, heil three bags full.

So, a mod with ~ALL~ submarines set to UpgradeClass=1, so that (theoretically) there are no upgrades, save the 18, 21 & 23 boats - and the game runs over the modder's intentions once again, and "rewards" the player not only with an upgrade, but an inappropriate one... It should have at the least sent you to Norway to pick up your new toy... It's a mighty tight squeeze getting out of that bathtub you're in there, but it is possible - if you only have enough fuel...

This calls for some digging... in the files that is, not the sea floor...

[Fifi]

Oh man, i’m Afraid it’s your well known part of the story...those upgrade files and flotillas assignations......Propbeanie is our Dönitz here in OM!

Seems Lurker gave the Black Sea flotillas a type XXIII? ... from Wikipedia it was probably a German thought, but never happened.

That makes me think type XXIII is the only one i didn’t re-work...and will not be, because there isn’t any other better model elsewhere.
So best is to avoid this one for the moment.

No, lurker had no intentions of a Type XXI or XXIII being available in the Black Sea, and especially not in 1944. There are no supporting files for them there, or anywhere else for that matter, besides Gotenhafen, Stavenger (XXIII) and Bergen (XXI). His Flotilla dates for Stavenger is January of 1945. For Gotenhafen training, it's September 1944, so the game completely ran over and ignored lurker's dates. There are a few things we can try with the UPCGE files for the XXI & XXIII, which will most likely also be ignored by the game... but we'll give it a whirl and see if we can cause some CTDs... - just joking there. We do not want no shtinking CTDs...

That's what we'll call it. The Reich has someone inside, trying to share war secrets before the end of the war... In this case, the Russians will be the early benefactors, unless KaleunMarco can extricate himself from the Black Sea via the Sea of Marmara, or whatever that spit of water is between the Black Sea and there by Istanbul... and he'd probably run out of fuel anyway, before he made it to the Med.

But seriously, lurker did the Black Sea part of the campaign to just be a mini-game, or short career. Something different. The game does not want to fully cooperate, it seems though. Of course, we could always blame it in KaleunMarco, since he sank too many ships and earned too much renown for the game to handle... So he's the one that broke it.

Hey that’s an excellent idea!
We have to keep it playable and i’ll Try it in my future type II career...one day

I suppose there are some Russian ships out there?

i would love to try this, with either the IIB or the XXIII boat. however, i could not make homeport anywhere. i suppose i could sail around the north sea or the baltic sea until the end of the war but that would end up as eight month mission...as long as i didn't break anything that had to be fixed in a home port.
IF i could get through the Dardanelles/Bosporus AND Gibraltar AND then the eastern Atlantic.
i wonder if that trip would be easier in a 2B or a 23?

Could you make it to the Mediterranean and refuel in some Italian harbor?
Oh wait...think it’s dead with the Italians at this date!?
Anyway you should have better fuel mileage with the XXIII? dunno this model at all...
