Ok actual work
Of those of you who have Uberboot I also need to know
who doesnt have the current version im going to try to get at least a new mission done by next week and take another.Ill also take another shot at correcting the aft deckgun mount. but I am not too optimistic. either way Id like to get everybody on the same version. for better and more coherent data. Testers check your version number. if you have Type IX_XI_Uberboot_v1.2Beta then your up to date and Ill just send a mission file. if you have Type IX_XI_Uberboot_v1.1Beta then you still cant see over the aft rail. those that dont have 1.2 should contact me. and Ill send it. |

Regarding the last two posts mine and eddies.
Testers of all of you that have played only eddie has reported contact
with the two MTB squadrons they havent even been showing up in my own games. Has any body had to fight off the mtb attacks other than eddie. I ask because in testing this was one of the most exciting moments in the mission. fighting the auxilliary cruiser in front while under air attack and suddenly realizing that a half dozen mtbs have closed from the horizon to halfway there by the time you detect them. it was a great moment that was well timed and it isnt working in my own copy of the mission. testers please report any surface combat mission contact with mtbs please. |

ok now Questin for the test group.
OK testers.
Q: Uber development has certain problems with the aft gun mount that are obvious to you guys the associated limited ammo limited crew positions and the missing sights. Is uberboot fightable now.? at what stage of development should it become a general release. a) beta w guns as is. {weeks} b) beta w corrected aft gun {months} c) final w all bugs fixed and full paint etc. (a few months more) what are your general thoughts on playability of the boat as is. leave posts please.

a few surface tactics for Uber
air attacks // in the included mission you are always under fairly close pursuit
by 2nd escort grp. and in the mission unless you have put a lot of distance between you and commander walker I wouldnt recommend this tactic however if your not under pursuit this can be the very best way to stave off an air attack. Flank ahead and 20 degrees rudder port or starboard as you please. then just let the sub circle aircraft dont do as well as surface ships against a circling sub. as you circle maneuvering is removed from your list of things to do. so then You can man the AA guns, Humans can adjust faster and better than AI against targets they can see. humans also love to blast away with a Hyped Up 37. this is fun and safe and effective. but if in the included mission dont keep it up walker will close you fast and if you doubt they can sink you sit still for four minutes at the start of the mission and try to duke it out with them. they were set up specifically to overpower uber if you slow down. |

those that have them love them as opponents and it worked to solicit the Help I needed to get it finished. by the same token early release of the incomplete beta may drum up the help necessary to finish Uber earlier. a thought:hmm: |
