Some ideas for the game.

[AlbertRoss]

Hi chaps,

Great game, very enjoyable, just a few suggestions to help improve it.

Apart from the obvious one of please get the servers stable and eradicate lag and the dreaded yellow and reds warnings:

Can there be keyboard controls as well for the following:

Speed up/down/forward/backwards/stop and firing torpedos

Dive/crash dive/surface/periscope depth (also the crash dive seems to be the same speed as ordinary dive, by the way)

Direction change via compass - also it's so annoying that it always swings to 180 degrees initially before it can be altered

It would great to be able to toggle on/off the various sreens (chat etc) so the tactical map and periscope could be used more effectively

On the subject of chat, a dedicated Wolfpack chat may be useful (also, have never seen a moderator on the chat channels as it happens)

Hi there is a tool. I don´t use it right now so I can´t write if it is in german. This is from German forum:

Thanks, had a look and not sure about how to make that work, don't want to mess with things that might somehow go wrong, wondered if things like that could incorporated by the game developers actually.

Another idea would be good to look at, for us at Level 35, there are no longer any gains of XP (or rank) for either doing missions or by the fully level 5 officers. Could there some way of accumulating these earned but not counted points to exchange for depot items/PP/credits for example?

Formations
Solo missions for 2 or 3 U-boats

i.e.
a.

~~-0
~~~~ -0 - - - --> Kiel or Arrowhead
~~-0

b.

~~ -0 ~~ -0 ~~ -0 - - - --> Line


c.

~~ -0
~~~~ -0 - - - --> Echelon Left ( & right)
~~~~~~ -0

d.

~~~~ -0
~~-0 - - - --> 2 up
~~~~ -0


This just something I would love to see in the game
and yes I know development has stopped

Happy Hunting

Are you talking formations for a group of Uboats?

Submarines never travel in groups. The German wolf pack came about by having U boats in the same area of operation, then converging on the targets. That is the strength of subs you never know where they are at. It would be better to be spread out anyways, and able to attack several targets at the same time and spread the escorts out. Attacking both sides of the convoy causes a lot of confusion. Surface ships are safer in formations where they can focus fire one 1 target, and only have to watch one side of the ship.

Even modern subs are on their own. Even subs attached to a carrier group dont really travel with the group

Yes and no ! It´s Fantasie. ;-)

A direct formation did not drive the submarines. However, Rudel tactics with a formation is comparable.

Usually attacked German submarines in "Wolf Packs" on. Since the German Navy had no own reconnaissance aircraft, the submarines had for locating targets form a scrimmage (Angriffslinie). Approximately twelve boats were concentrated in a designated area and continued their attacks together, the individual submarine commanders had complete freedom of action.

A formation drove the submarines only if several submarines Directions were at the same site. They protected themselves so other against air raids.

So is this a formation? Yes. But no attack formation like the Warships in convoy.
