Thank you for the reply Aktungbby, I will take that onboard whilst waiting to see what the consensus is. Do you own the ZeeWolf mod?

I dunno how my post went into the wrong place so i will repost it here,
-------------

I used to have a CDrom of this game. It was a very short and small game when played stock, I never tried the zeewolf mod but by the looks of some videos of it , its amazing. It brought back memories of panzer elite with brit44's mods but much better graphics.

I have a sad feeling that Zeewolf possibly passed away. I have know people to go "missing" online when this happens, never to be heard from again because no family member notified anyone and their online legacy just went forgotten (especially after webpages get hacked or expire)

I feel like the mod should be released for the sake of the developers legacy so people can enjoy it, after all that's what it was meant for and no corporation owns the rights to the mod it so it would not be illegal.

Sadly we have very few ww2 tank sims worth playing (I cant stand war thunder or world of tanks which are arcade shooters and not sims) and most are no good without mods and very old. Tank Crew was basically forgotten by the developers and they have always been kind of against a "career mode" which has really killed the fun factor of that sim so all we have left worth playing is panzer elite and steel fury (both with mods to make them better)

I'm going to have to get out my old CD and try this sim again, hopefully zee will come back for further input and/or the mod gets released.
