When my uboot is near another uboot my message box displays what the other uboot is doing . Turning off diesel engines etc . What effect would making the players uboot a diffrent class then the AI uboot .
AI sub class 200
Player sub class 500 etc

Triggers can be:

Pass mission
Fail mission
Enter area
Enter area for set time
Enter area for set time and stop timmer if area is left.

Okay so:

- spawning trigger could be passing an hidden mission having its objective set to "enter a certain area (in our route, not too far from the refuelling point), within a given date". If we fail to enter the area within the deadline, the unit doesn't spawn at all.

- despawning trigger could be failing an hidden mission whose obective is to "enter a certain area (on the other side of the world), within a given date". As we are sure we will never enter that area, we will be also sure that the unit will despawn on that exact date.

Am I correct?

With this method, would we be promptly informed on the new appointment, in case the first milkcow gets sank?
...I mean: we don't want to waste our time looking for a vessel that is not there anymore, only because we are still within the time frame of the first "meet the tanker" mission...

Good!

I will tell you where to use tankers in MC.
Btw: I think MV Charlotte Schliemann was featured in SH4 UBoat Missions:

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...=135165&page=2

I should have this addon somewhere. If I get time I could try and see if I can import it for SH5, though the SH model doesn't resambles too much the real ship:

Rescue survivors option is there, but I have yet to find a way to make it work.

meeting another U-boat and dropping supplies for her is going to be another mission in our plot!

So we cannot prevent in any way freindly ports from resupplying us?

pity. Historically, supply shortage was a key factor during Operation Monsun. Very often U-boats were forced to move from one base to another, just for resupplying.
I wanted our campaign to reflect this fact... I guess we can still set some obective to sail from one base to another, before starting the actual patrol (by assuming that the base we start from is short on supplies), but if when sailing from the first base we have allready a full load of fuel and torpedoes, the urgent change of base is not goig to make much sense...

Because it's a cmdr_Submarine type to the game this will always happen. It's one of the things I'm currently digging into in the .exe and .act files. I find it very annoying having the crew shout out and receive messages of AI subs

Thanks Gap

I would also like to thank Uekel for his fix for the OHII convoys.
Please install this fix after OHII and any patch.

The fix will correct errors in the convoys where delays were not long enough. It will also fix the issue where there was no speed setting, resulting in convoys sailing at the fastest speed of the slowest ship

Hi Trevally!

Should I using this fix if I using MTNS - More Traffic, Nations and Ships and MTNS - OHII&HarbourAdditon_Fix by Uekel?

Brazilian airbases and (in lesser misure) Brazilian Air Force, played a significant role as detterrent of U-boat warfare in South Atlantic during WWII.

This is a quite good website I have found, dedicated to Brazilian Air Force:
http://www.rudnei.cunha.nom.br/FAB/en/

I suggest you to start by reading this short article, within the same website:

Due to poor naval and aerial defenses, Allied submarines were a common threat for monsoon boats. Especially weak points were the northern approaches to Penang, and the Malacca strait where, during the course of Operation Monsoon, 6 German U-boats suffered 2 failed attacks and 4 losses due to attacks by 2 British, 2 American, and 1 Dutch submarines.

The following links feature details (including maps) on the patrols of those submarines. Hopefully, in the next days I will be able to find information on other Allied submarines active in the area in the years 1943-44. Until then, I wish you a good reading:

After reading the memorial by Doenitz, Churchill denied the existence of such a vessel within Royal Navy. No other rumor leaked out about her after the war."

Okay,
by now you should have noticed it: today I am in the mood for historical research, and I am using this forum as bookmark for my favourite webpages

Someone should really stop me, before I get banned!

Anyway... this another good online reference on naval warfare in the Indian Ocean, again from naval-history.net:
