“Make contact with Japanese shipping and destroy—unrestricted submarine warfare”, and observe strict radio silence. It’s a limitation that can easily be accepted. Random patrol zones. Random convoys. Even random weather! Total conversion from U-boats in the Atlantic to US Silent Service in the Pacific for Silent Hunter II.

At any given time during a year there are as many as six private forums cooking in the Subsim Radio Rooms. Each is populated by a number of enthusiasts and players, some with skills in programming, some are artists, and others are just go-to guys who test, build installers, research, and help in any capacity they can. They are there with one goal in mind: to take an existing subsim and improve it, tweak it, kick it up to a new level.
Some of these efforts wither away in a morass of too many real world constraints, insurmountable obstacles, personality conflicts, and fading interest. More often than not, the activity fades and the forums fade into cyberspace with nothing to show. But some efforts do achieve some level of success: Wolfpack League. Projekt Messerwetzer. Korralle editor. Sub Command SCX.
Cue rousing music, fanfare, graffiti. A determined group of guys led by Hitman and Horsa have been hammering, welding, and banging on a new mod for Silent Hunter II since last summer. Deemed Pacific Aces, it is a total conversion from U-boats in the Atlantic to US Silent Service in the Pacific.
The Sub models have been meticulously reskinned by Horsa, Hitman, Sergbuto, and Seeadler to represent the American fleet class subs, including the Tambor, Gato, Balao, and Perch models. Visually, the hulls and conning tower structures are quite a departure from Doenitz’s German subs. It’s funny but when you think about it, the only difference between a German sub and a US sub on a computer screen is few more pixels here, a few less there. However, seeing is believing and when you see the Pacific Aces artwork, you believe you’re at sea with the US Navy. And the differences are more than skin deep; each sub class has its own diving and sailing characteristics and weapons loadouts. To top it off, the PA conversion includes the rain and water mod so your new subs sail in superior seas.
