JSGME ready.

Simple mod to allow starting a campaign in a XVIII U-Boat.

Works for 1943, 1944 and unlocks 1945 campaign, all flotillas.

Still allows to start with regular IX-D2 boat as well.

*** Notes:

1) This will unlock certain technologies such as advanced radar and sonar not normally available, especially in 1943 career.

2) You must start a new career to use this boat.

Files affected in Silent Hunter 4 directory:

\Data\UPCDataGE\UPCCampaignData\CareerStart.upc

Very belated edit: I'm rather amazed this thread somehow found it's way to the first page after 2 years...

Anyways FileFront link removed as it probably hasn't worked for ages now.
Refer to the third post down if you really want to use this modification.

That being said... I'm going to wager if you are using nearly any mod (especially the mega-mods) this simple mod won't work.

I recommend only trying this on a vanilla U-Boat Missions install... and given the massive efforts in modding and improvements these newer mods bring, I'd highly recommend checking those out and leaving this one as a mod that served it's purpose when the game was still new.
