Wondering if could be modded so the special ability to call in aircraft could be used, and perhaps to call in AI subs (instead of surface ships) as well for wolfpacks on US side?
i tried...a while ago.
all i got was CTD.
i think/believe that there are two code sets in SH4: one for the German play which is heavily-reused logic from SH3 and one for the US side.
this is another manifestation of my belief.

but hey, give it a whirl. let me know if you want to collaborate.
