Default Next Beta Release?

Hi, I am really looking forward to the beta release of the manual-start engines,( and the electrics.)

When might they be available?

[That was the imaginary line I drew in the sand for buying Wolfpack.]

Yes, I understand that the game is already playable.

BTW, things are looking good.

You drew the line at interactive engines?

Did I?

j/k, yes, no exact date for the next release... uh, well, because I keep adding stuff to the dev's plate, ya know. First it was just having diesels that had animated rockers, then adding a Chief role, then hey, may as well throw in a clutch, and supercharger, and well, hell, the e-motors should be playable... and realistically, so the player has to increase the load gradually or he will blow a fuse... fuse? yeah, better had an electrical closet... make that two... um... well, we need to disconnect the e-motor from the prop to charge the batteries, right? ... and why not add a "creep mode"? ... ok, you see where this going?

Trust me, when you see what the devs have done you'll leap across that line.

Thanks for the reply.

Was not just-added-working-rockers the latest beta release?

And electrics, clutches, and manual start, and more radio work have not been released yet?

Wading through the water in a filling pressure hull would be a realistic addition to the later part of the war. What could better give you time to reflect upon your strategy and game-play performance--more than floating with your teammates until the waterline reaches the ceiling making the last light pop?

Oddly some submariners did escape sunk and scuttled U-Boats. My mother's 3rd husband was on the USS Torsk. He said, the training included leaving a perfectly good diving bell at a 100 feet.

I am disappointed that there hasn't been a release in months.
"The Forest" did regular releases.

I realize that your crew is small, but why is it small?

In an semi-related topic, I wish that the people from Crush Depth could join your team, and make a submarine simulator--for the ages.
