When I radio in a position/status report the report acknowledgement comes back with COMSUBPAC. Where can I change that or is there a mod that already does that.

are you referring to the left hand button or the right hand button on the Radio frame?

the right hand button...yes, you can.
the left hand button...no, you cannot. it is baked into the exe/dll framework. call 1-800-Ubi-Cares-Not.

close your eyes and pretend that it is signed Oberkommando der KreigsMarine.

No it is not baked in because KSD has a completely different message form.

SH4 does not have an en_menu.txt and a de_menu.txt, so you might have to change the default menu.txt file. I might have this incorrect, but there is only the one "COMSUBPAC" entry in the Data /Menu /menu.txt file, so try to edit 4193=COMSUBPAC to 'BdU', or whatever you want, and see if that changes the radio "From:" address display. Other lines in that area of the menu.txt file help build the initial message. The actual body of the messages would come from Data /Campaigns /Campaign /DynamicMiss /ContactReport xx in the respective *.tsr files 'EventX" lines, and which one you get depends upon the situation and the roll-of-the-dice chance.

Hey, long time lurker and LOVE this mod! I stream it pretty often and it's like the best parts of SH3 with the stability of SH4! Runs fantastic!

I have 3 annoying problems in my Type II B-D career that come up frequently:

1. Orders and replies from HQ in French. I play in English and have never adjusted my language settings so this is a weird one. Some orders are correct, some come in French for no discernable reason.

2. Orders don't match patrol grid positions. Orders will tell you to patrol AM55 (for example) but on the plot map your designated position is about an entire grid section away. So the orders don't match what the game UI is telling you. I've learned to do whatever the UI tells me; the orders are just off and wrong.

3. Occasional spy missions to Perth/Freemantle (?) Australia. I'm playing the stock Atlantic game (no other campaigns loaded in JGSME) and it's kind of hilarious that HQ wants me to sail to Australia in my tiny Type II. I obviously can't complete these missions. Any ideas of a fix?

4. (Bonus) I can't add any additional petty officers to my boat, saying I've hit my limit, even if I dismiss a current petty officer on the boat. Anyone know how to get around this bug?

I'm running just the default mod and no other mods. Pretty much a vanilla install. Any tips to fix would be great!
