How does the Submarine succesion work exactly in TWoS?
Will a declined offer to a UFlaK lead to you not getting the offer for a VIIC41?
What are the rough merit requierents for the latter?
I never thought about the consequences of hitting "no" in the submarine offer after a patrol but the UFlaK seems so useless in the usual tonnage war:o

You first get the VIIC/41 after that you get the uflak which i declined.

Some people don´t learn. Reported.

Interesting :o I started with VIIC in Distant waters but never came across a progression massage. After my last patrol I read in KSD I was nominated for type VIIC submarine, left me clueless. With low merit I thougt maybe it was theoretically at this moment enough for my current type :doh:


Is it possible to modify the savegame files to get a VIIC41 after my current patrol?

Yes!

surrivers
 

Hello and good afternoon,


only curiosity, is there a commander which surived the whole war from Memel till 1945 without " resurrection " ? I know, it's unreal, because in fact the best comanders surived only because they excanged their submarine command for other tasks to the right time.
But maybe it is possible in twos?

Well I´m getting towards the end of OP Drumbeat (didn´t have much time lately) and I´m still alive.

Hi guys


This pack look great but I wonder what kind of players it is for.
Im just a casual player that want to experience the fun of traveling around in a sub and taking down enemy ships without too much work.
I see that real navigation is optional. So I wonder if is this pack for me?



If not is there another pack that is fit me better?

Have fun :)

Real nav and most of "tedious" realism features are optional, and you get much more stable and bug-free game than unmodded SH5. Plus a lot more ships, longer campaign, better graphics, catchy radio tracks on your gramophone, milk cows... and the list goes on and on. So, in short, grab it, dial down realism to your liking and enjoy.

Also with the OptionFileEditorViewer OFEV (That icon with Mickey in your desktop) you can change a lot of options for a more easy gameplay (or more difficult).

Here are the dates when you get a new u-boat.

Thanks for replies guys, really appreciate it.
My knowledge about many mods used in this pack is very limited, but real navigation is optional so that's great, but what other part of this pack should I remove/not install to stay more casual?

I'm having a little trouble with passage into the rising sun mission.

Where exactly is the 200km patrol zone? Its not the red X marking the tanker resupply. I've sat there for well over 48 hours. Also, the tanker resupply is actually where my boat's position is. Very misleading and you can run out of fuel. Map is in link below

I'm afraid that remains to be fixed in some of the future updates. :hmmm: For now just chose any good hunting ground and do your job...:yep: :salute:

So I tried both the japan mission and then reverted back to the Atlantic for the tonnage war '43. In both, am I in a VIIC/41? I have no way of telling. Also, when selecting the snorkel, it removes the deck gun, but there is no snorkel model on the boat and no way to raise it. Just the deck gun is gone.

1943, Turning Point campaign, snorkel works just fine in my game... :hmmm:

Thanks vdr, I rerolled the chapter start and turned the optionsfile editor version of snorkel on and off and I've got the regular snorkel online. I was worried I had to sail all the way to France before I would get it and the air cover is unbearable.

Quick question regarding the Snorkel,


Do you have to enable the change for the snorkel in the OFEV while you are in port? I did it before while I was at sea and my game kept on crashing.
