1. Congratulations
2. The game crashes with some of the more exotic flotillas (3rd and so) after 1943.
3. I get the 1942 type conning tower in 1944, the one with 2 20mm in two stepped platforms instead of the 1943 one with 1 heavy and 2 light flaks.
4. Aircraft seems to be lacking somewhat, I surfaced off the firth of Forth in broad daylight in 1945 and was not attacked.
5. Also for the XXIII, there were no single merchants off the scottish coast in 1945, only small convoys.
6. the XXIIIs battery endurance seems somewhat weak, not much greater than that of the conventional boats.
7. eye candy, but really weird: The IXa has a huge engine telegraph painted on its conning tower (textures in wrong place):rotfl:, also this type is the Type IX, not the type IXA
8. the super duper armoured boats, as the previous poster allready noted. Fixed them myself though.
9. Diving times for the VII type seems too short, should be around 30 seconds, now it is somewhat like 15
10. VII seems a bit long ranged to me
11. Abnormal rate of duds and prematures in 1942. Can it be the german torpedoes use the same dud file as the US?

I use:
NMSM
PE
RFB 1.5
RSRD
OM 40X Beta

Type VIIC/41 have a real parameters.

Type IXA,IXB,IXC,IXC/40 have "über" HP, IXD/2 have real HP.
Thank you for your report

Which Uboat are you talking about ?

Some sources call it a IXA

Normal dive or crash dive

Can you please provide reference so I may do some additional research

Regarding the crashes, they occur right after selecting the 3rd Flottilla.
The text "congratulations, you've been...." is bungled with placeholders and instead of going to the office screen, SH4 crashes.

Re the IX, Bodo Herzog calls it a IXA allright, but Clay Blair calls it a IX (so does UBoat.net), and expressively says it was not a IXA

Re the conning tower, I'm talking about a VIIC in 1944.

In regards to the XXIII campaign, Bodo Herzog (Deutsche Uboote 1906-1966) has Oblt. Klusmeier's (U 2336) Log on the last successful Uboat attack of WW2. He attacked a 4 ship convoy (EN-591) with 4 escorts right on the spot where I was, on the entrance to the Firth of Forth.
U 2322 sank the Egnolm out of Convoy FS-1739 off the Tyne. The other ship sunk was apparently a single merchant, at least Uboat.net doesn't mention a convoy.

With stock "only" did not have any CTD with 3rd Flotilla starting in Feb 1944, were there any other cases of CTD

I just started S3Editor and found out ALL german subs are fast diving dreadnoughts

Armour values, hitpoints and diving times are way off.

Re the crash, it was not 3rd, but 9th and 10th Flottilla

Another thing: The final conning towers do not have a radar warning reciever slot!
Also, Radar is far too common. Only a minority of boats had it, not every boat since 1943

RWR are setup in the NSS_UboatX.upcge vice the UnitPartsX.upc file

was only the 9th due to an error in base assignment in the Flotilla.upc file

This as been an issue for others beside me, but will look into it.

The German torpedoes have their own file, separate from the American one.

Any chance the torpedo loadout error has been corrected for beta 2?? (IXc/40 reverting to default loadout)

You said it would be a difficult fix, so I was curious as to whether it had been corrected.

I'm aware of the problem. It may not get fix soon as it is a very hard problem to fix right now

Have a fix for this and it will be part of beta2, also will post a [TEC] thread with the fix so other mod makers can use it
