renthewog · 06-25-10, 03:29 PM

So is the milk cows subs available for download or is it work in progress?

With a Type XIV about to arrive can a Type II be far behind?

Wonderful to see. I am looking forward very much to the Milch Cow being possible.

The last operational Supply U Boat was commanded by a relative and I have been hoping to see them operable in one of the SH series...

U-490 Oblt. Wilhelm Gerlach,

there were 10 of them...
U-459 She went out on 6 patrols starting in March, 1942 and during her career she supported 72 U-boats. U-460 From June 1942 to October 1943 she went out on 6 patrols supporting 86 U-boats.
U-461 This boat supported 75 U-boats during 6 patrols from June, 1942. U-462 She supported 64 U-boats in 5 patrols starting in July 1942.
U-463 This boat supported 74 U-boats in 5 patrols from July 1942. U-464 She was sunk on her maiden patrol and supported no U-boats.
U-487 During her 2 patrols she supported 25 U-boats. U-488 in her 3 patrols 41 U-boats were supported by her.
U-489 She was sunk on her maiden patrol and aided no U-boats. U-490 Sent out on her first patrol to assist the Monsun boats in May 1944 she was sunk a month later.

The Milk Cows were quite big, I have a book with a picture of both a Milk Cow and a VIIC next to each other (both returning from patrol), the upper deck of the empty Milk Cow is nearly as high as the VIIC´s coning tower.

Just to compare the facts: the total displacement of a VIIC was 1070 tons (total) and of the Milk Cow 2300 tons (total).

But does the resupply work?

06-25-10, 05:21 PM

The test version can be downloaded.
(Click on my Sig to find where)
It's an ongoing WIP and comes with a Test Mission.
There's also updates as I add more effects and adjust things.
It's an AI Sub, not a Player Sub.

BBW did get it to work as a Re-supply Unit but his work has not been released anywhere yet.

And he's Pineing for the fjords for the Summer.

ERPP8 · 06-25-10, 05:43 PM

Could I get a link without singing up to that sight?

06-25-10, 05:52 PM

No.
I am the Admin there,
it's an area I opened for anyone who wishes to join,
and it's where I post anything I'm doing.
And answer questions when asked.
It's free, you don't need to post anything if you don't want to,
and it's harmless.

If that's not enuff?
Sorry, but that's how I roll.

I'm fine with signing up. I just prefer to not if I really don't.
I originally sighed up to subsim just to download something, but I knew I would use it more.

Will the final version be open to download?

06-25-10, 06:10 PM

Of course it will!

The whole thing started between BBW, JU_88, and I.
We started playing around in our areas.
BBW with the Campaign stuff,
JU with modeling,
Me with converting things.
The AI Subs caught my attention because of conversations with Dan
back at Neal's house at SubSim Meet 2008.
BBW started the campaign stuff,
JU started working to import stuff he did,
I started the conversion work.
This was before patch 1.2 came out.

We are where we are today.
BBW is takeing time off to enjoy the Summer,
JU is cracking on many things,
and I'm still working on what I can to help others.

You'll miss alot if you don't sign up.
It's becomeing a book of frustration followed by breath takeing insights!

Many people wanted to know how I work.
Here's where they can see my multi-tasking mind at work.
