Many thanks FifI

Ive been playing this wonderful mod for a while and man this is the best mod if you want to do surface attacks against convoys! Even during 1943(early part of 1943 of course) you can still attempt surface attacks against convoys.

Now, there are also several feedbacks as well

First, Ive found that if you shoot superstructures of any merchants with your AA gun, it will go down without taking any torpedos or deckguns

Second, whenever a merchant goes down within the convoy, the convoy slams its break and slows down too much which is a bit unrealistic imo

Well thats all I need to say about this mod since all the rest is awesome

P.S GUC2 with some sensor patches run smooth with this mod as well

I agree for the AA gun, it will be adjusted.
Convoys speed droping is SH3 hard coded, can't do anything...


Changed the planes loadout for the British Archer...more accurate than American planes

I have adjusted the U-Boat AA efficiency; in my tests, a lot more complicated to sink cargos with it now. Small ships as fishing boats etc, are still sink able
Firing at cargos superstructures like masts, funnels, lifeboats etc doesn’t affect cargo flotation.

All the above will be available next update (don’t know exactly when).

Hey Fifi thanks for your work once again! Just one more suggestion(not so important haha),I think the tonnage values for medals should be slightly corrected. During ww2, the Knights Cross was given to commanders who sank over 100000t of shipping and the Oak leaves were added once they surpassed 200000t(many times the tonnage sunk were overestimated so there are many commanders who were given Oak leaves while sinking below 200000t of shipping). I know I can correct this myself by changing numbers in the Basic file but Im fearing I might break my career by doing this, having this changed in the first place in the next update will bring more realism to this amazing mod I think.

And Thank You Again Fifi. Still out at sea, so it will take a few days (my time) to get this rolling.

Many thanks FiFi!

In my PC I use the mod with the full interiors of the previous versions. I don´t have problems (no CTD), but I don´t know if in these latest versions the interiors could modify sensors, etc.

I¨ll download it now and I´ll test it.

Best regards
