[REL] Fifi Enhancements for NYGM - Page 67

VIIC U-451 10th patrol 27 July 1941 from Brest, 15 sailing days.
Got damaged by merchant deck gun, when trying to finish him.
Got damaged by convoy CAM ship plane (hurricane) for first time...too late to dive, tried to use the Flak gun but my watch officer was wounded and died.
Launched my last torpedoes once underwater, but was too far and convoy turned away. Destroyers soon came up, and was badly depth charged for 2 hours (Black Swan DD is a real threat

)

For next update, I have adjusted the Allies air coverage for 1941 & 1943.
It’s 2 little mods, one for 1941 to activate on top of stand alone starting 1941/06, and an other for 1943 to activate from 1943/04.
Of course, when activating the 1943 one, you’ll have to deactivate the 1941 one

I could have made it via SH3 commander, but saves between those dates wouldn’t load and bring unexpected CTD … so best is via little mod to activate while in bunker

Now with those mods, you should encounter planes threat according to the Nav map chart (Allies convoys & air coverage)
Best remains of course playing TC x 256 for day time to avoid the famous SH3 erratic course bug at high TC

You should even encounter planes attacks when leaving Brest harbor day time, Lorient harbor in a lower occurrence, and even probably St Nazaire…

Edit: also fixed the air coverage from Gibraltar missing from 41/07 to 43.

Aawww great

... just what I needed, even better enemy aircraft cover for NYGM.

I really hate aircraft.

Just kidding

, sounds like a great addition.

Look forward to adding it in.

With this new planes covering, leaving harbor is now interesting

Calculation for leaving when night comes is a good idea

For Brest & Lorient harbors, planes are waiting for you for sure, but it can be when reaching highs seas, or closer, or even closer just at the harbor!
Type IX is a real challenge as this big baby isn’t fast to crash dive

Left Lorient for first mission, and 2 hours later my hull was down to 80% due to bad hurricane strafing … and it is only end of 1941

Didn’t tried St Nazaire yet, but it should be slightly the same (maybe less because it’s further from GB airbases)

Hello Fifi,

Sounds challenging, can not wait to try it out.

Next update certainly tomorrow

After my planes problems leaving Lorient, first convoy intercepted … but again badly damaged by hurricane from CAM ship inside convoy! Damned

Those types IX are so slow to dive!

FUBAR295 · 12-28-22, 04:29 PM

That's great!

Yeah, those IX's are not practical for attacking convoys either, better suited for long undertakings looking for lone merchant and tankers, especially tankers in the Caribbean, South Atlantic and such. Slow diving, and not as nimble as the VII.

I always have a finger on the "C" key

, as soon as the watch sites an aircraft (matters not if one of ours, theirs or UFO) its crash dive time. Most times I am able to avoid any consequences. Later in the war, things become real interesting.

I refer to them affectionately as "Pig Boats".

VERSION 2.9 IS OUT!

A new NYGM always more challenging

Allies air covering matching more historical areas to me.
Beware the bombs and the depth charges!...Hurricanes & Spitfires never match their names so well...

Have a wonderful happy new year all

PS: should be bunker save compatible

FUBAR295 · 12-29-22, 07:31 AM

Down loaded ... Thank you!!

Fifi · 12-29-22, 11:20 AM

For those who don’t know yet… if playing type IX, and crossing Allies air covering with relatively flat sea, you can order the decks awash in order to make what they called « Stuka diving »… ordering 7m depth to your Chief officer, you still have your watch crew on deck, but in case of plane attack, the big IX is diving a lot faster!

Can save you some hull percentage

Kal_Maximus_U669 · 12-29-22, 02:32 PM

Hey Master Fifi "Happy New Year"...

Thank you for the daily updates

Doolar · 12-29-22, 07:45 PM
