Though not currently playing the game, I highly appreciate and follow with maximum interest the development of OHII, like everyone in subsim community, but I think you know it allready, so let's go to the point...


A few weeks ago, while reading on the web about WWII U-boat historical operations, to my surprise I've discovered the existence of the so called Monsun Gruppe, whose theatre was partly South Pacific, partly Indian Ocean and Far East. What about adding to OHII a new campaign for it?

I know that most of Monsoon U-boats were of the type IX, currently not featured by SH5, but hopefully with the development of GR2 editor by TDW, one day we will be able to add these boats to the game. I am also aware that adding a new war theatre to the existing campaigns would probably require a lot of work in creating some new nations, new shipping lines, new ports and player bases (and possibly much more that I can't think of right now ), but these additions shouldn't necessarily featured in the next release of OHII, and in my opinion they would add a lot to the depth of the game. After all we have a whole SH5 earth globe, but we are currently using only a small part of it.

Provided that you like the idea, I would be glad to collect some historical data on it. Too bad, the next week I'll have to go abroad for field work, and I'll not be back until 4 weeks from now. In the meanwhile you could consult the following links for general information:

SOmething like this


The Final Year (black may) must be last in the campaign, but MG could fit in as above.

This could be set for all the new layers to be within this campaign only so as not to effect any other campaign performance due to more layers added.

The only thing I am not sure if I can do is to place bunkers where they would need to be (have not tried before)

Using VII type boats - this could be set for VIIC or C41 and if we ever get new types, they could be added to the campaign easily.
