The Official Uberboot development thread Q's & A's screenies video

[Mush Martin]

Uberboot mod has been graced for the last several weeks
with a working member who has up to now just remained
obscure however as what amounts to the working chief
engineer of Uberboot mod these days its time we all met
him and said a few words of thanks and encouragement
to Privateer.

Privateer/ a private commerce raiding ship of war a merchant class
warship also her captain and crew are privateers , a privateer isnt
warship by classification nor pirate a privateer is issued letters of
marque and Reprisal from the king authorizing him to make fair war
on the merchant and commerce ships of the enemy and the right
in so doing to take part in the kings prizes.

Sounds like an Uberboot type of guy to me.
so we started talking and the guy is a magician
though not by trade.

Welcome to the Ubercrew Kaleun Privateer
its about time you stuck your head out from
under the hood.

Great stuff lads

Uber is some quick model work at this point.
The main work is else where.
Perhaps Mush will allow you a peek if you ask nice.

Speaking of the Ubercrew.
I switched to venatores latest last night
the new jacket and Uboat commanders
cap look great.

Upon Recieving the last Conning tower dat
the radar position has been displaced at
the moment I changed the radar in
the 1.3 beta to a different type for now
until we can fix the 1275 radar position.

this is a known issue and at the moment there
is no easy fix we will have to do it the hard
way.

Bear with us although the current radar appears
to sweep through the front steel of the conning
tower it doesnt error the radar works fine and this
looks better than the last radar hovering in mid
air beside the conn.

Haven't got round to reading your thread mush, im late for work so gotta go, but will read it tonight, see what this uberboot tester you mentioned is all about.

[Mush Martin]

So other issues aside it has become apparent that there is a stock
mp bug for deckguns where if you order weapons free
the gunners shoot friend and foe alike.

my plan is to have weapons tight target designation for MP
engagements

with no open fire order in the gun crew orders they should only
engage ships you indicate I hope.

any body with experience at mp got any insights on this.

The day is not over yet, don't get to confident

[Mush Martin]

was overconfident didnt defeat radar issue.

[kiwi_2005]

just why do u not like the IXD2 though, as its not much different than the IXB/C apart from it shape -i dont mind the IXB/C boats will choose them over the VII's, just when the IXD2 turns up i grab it. They have a slightly longer hunting range & using SH3 commander i make my patrols out to the Caribbean area - alot of loan ships to hunt & less destroyers to evade.

And serious answer please no, they're for pussies etc.,

Hard to say best way to do it is try it with a mate in mp have a cargo for target and both head out, then order man the deck gun and see what happens, if ya sink ya mate at least you wont have "wanted dead or alive" over your head.
But sometimes i found if i manned the deckgun myself fired of a few shots then let the crew take over they would continue firing at the same target, its when that target has sunk and they look for another you have to watch out they will target the next closest target - friend or foe. Keep in mind I haven't played MP for ages so this bug might be fixed.

its not that I dislike IXD2

its that I like to taunt.

all type ix hulls are the same hull in sh3
just whats in em changes.

originally looked at IXd2 for uber basis
but as uber was being beefed up and re equipped
and as IXB was already available for campaign start
I used it instead.

I just love to tease
