Will the type IX and type II be playable?

The easiest way would be modify the VII exterior model from polygon to polygon, well that would be a realy hard job. I hope you can extend your program to copy meshes and one day we can witness the true firepower of a fully armed and operational type IX u-boat!
Thank you for your hard work and for giving hope.

Sounds like you need to start playing with my GR2 Editor/Viewer and get familiar with it. Then you need to start playing around with your idea. The only way you learn is by trying. You never fail, you merely find ways of how not to do something

I definitely will when I have more time.

Atis003, the mod "sort of. IX BOAT MOD v1a" is close to the Type IX, except for the external visuals, only one stern tube, and a few other minor things. It's not all that bad. I used to before my HDD crashed on me and will install it again. If you decide to play SH5 with it installed you will have to start a new career after it's installed. Give it a chance and get started playin SH5. You will be amazed on how good it is now with all the mods that are out to choose from.

If it was possible to get the Type IX working for the Camapign Monsun Gruppe, why then isn't it possible to use it for all the other campaigns?

That is all I'm gonna say. Not gonna type again.

Now, answering question by GT182:

You can. You just will not be able to ever use VII with it. The mod doesn't replace the indication for the GAME, just the stats. For the game: you still are driving type VII. Just a very special one :P

I understand now TA. It's still the "sort of IX". I thought he had built a full blown Type IX that we didn't know about, but was special and only playable in the Camapign Monsun Gruppe.

I mean, I never gotten to that point, so anything is possible ))))

But yeah, it is, from what I understand, is a "sort of IX".

Honest answer to your question. YES you are going to regret it. You can us the "sort of. IX BOAT MOD v1a" mod to simulate fuel and range, and also torpedo amount carried. But no, no 2 aft torpedo tubes, and visually it's a VIIC/41. Someone was working on a Type IX for SH5 but no word on what's happening with it as far as I know. It might have been TDW, but I can't remember if it was or not.

Thanks Taylor. In mind I thought that was the case, but had to ask anyway. I wonder if there'll be a problem, if I ever get that far, with the IX mod I'm now using from the start of my campaign.
