[REL] War Ace Campaign (WAC) 5.0 2017

[Starkweather]

Got a question if I may. There's two files on the WAC mediafire page regarding H.sie's patch :

WAC5.2 H.sie Supplement to V16B1 (from 2019)
WAC5.01 H.sie Supplement to V16B1_Atlantic_Baltic_Campaign (from 2017)

I see people here are adding them one after the other in their load lists, in the order above, despite the second one being from an earlier version. Is that correct? They modify the exact same set of files and the file checksums are all the same except for the the _menu files and, more importantly, the main campaign file (Campaign_SCR.mis); looks like there's a couple hundred extra units in the campaign file from 2017. Is the Campaign file from 2019, being smaller and with less units, an optimized version or something?

Hi! One question:

How can I make SH3 Commander work with WAC5.2? Should I install WAC5.0 Commander_light in SH3commander folder with Generic Mod Enabler?

Many regards
George

Have great troubles running this mod; lost my second career because of loading CTD, and this time no CTD but as soon as in command room, everybody is killed and sub destroyed...how come all those corrupted saves?

[divemonkie]

graphics problem. my terrain is all black and sometimes coming out of TC my crew looks like they just got back from Woodstock and a bad acid trip. Does anyone know of a fix or card setting to correct it.

still a great mod...some of the deadliest sea battles I've ever seen.

Has any one played WAC5.2 completed a full patrol without single crash to desktop?Here are some the area I experience CTDs and their likelyhood:

Bad weather (few times)
Man deck gun and flaks (sometimes)
Cruise mode (sometimes)
Ships sunk (sometimes)
Attack harbor (Very often)
Return Base (Very often)
Loading save (Very often)
Exit Game (Everytime)

I really keen on trace the cause of those problems it is just me or everyone experince the same.

Thanks anvar.
That helps a great deal.

Ive tried Wac before but always mixed results...my not so great a machine and screwing up the install. But this time will be deffrent. Intel nuk seems very capable and im limiting the install.

So far is working very well I just added your terrain file too patch 5.2
I just need more time to play.

Ps. Some of the best AI I've sailed against of all the SH to date...very well done.

One more question, is there a sun fix for Wac? I tried OLC's sun fix it worked for about 30 seconds than snapped back too a small white dot.

[divemonkie]

I spoke to soon.
Soon as i arived at Kiel Canal terrain went black.

Gonna try some of the atmosphere mods out there...just dont want to lose the water. I realy like the way the sea looks.

I could be wrong but I remember somthing about not using arb with full interiors. I also get CTD using H.sie supplement but that might have been where I'd placed it in the stack. So I pulled it for now.

Exactly, that might be the problem...

This ship labelled NACA3 Large Fast Merchant

[Unit]
ClassName=NACA3
UnitType=102
MaxSpeed=17.5
Length=155
Width=18.7
Mast=33
Draft=7.7
Displacement=17600
RenownAwarded=530

It's 17600 tons yet can sail at 17.5 knots?Only war ships can do that.
The draft was 8.7 and it was incorrect so I change it to 7.7.
The reward is way too juicy,a Proteus Class Collier Freighter of 19360 tons only gives reward of 310 points.

I searched everywhere over the internet and couldn't find any historical reference resemble this ship.
Can somebody suggest a replacement model?

I checked japanese merchant database too,no such ship found.And If that was made by Japanese ship builder then it shouldnt be many in the British hand right?
