I hope they intend to fix the Navigator reporting "Precipitation None" from a weather report...meanwhile on the bridge its POUNDING rain with 15 m/s winds.

I'd like it if, when you erase the next waypoint, your boat wouldn't stop automatically. Stop when I give the order.

Also, I'd love to be able to assign crew into 'teams' rather than moving individual crew one by one. Engine crew 1 and engine crew 2.

I'd like it if you could swap one full compartment of crew directly for another full compartment.

[con20or]

you sort of can do that holtz. if u right click on a compartments name,u can move the entire compatments crew to rest. if you double click on a compartment you can switch everyone instantly in that compartment(except officers) with fresh crew. likewise you can switch crew from one area into another by right clicking on the compartment names,i forget how,its in the manual. its quite a timesaver to get the hang of it.

Ageed! And I would love to have TEAMS mve (maybe even Control-Click on several people at once then left click the compartment you want them in??). My problem in my IXB is I have a Engine team and Stern Torpedo room team in the Stern Rest area. And if I right click the Stern rest area, then L click the Engine room...it mixes my teams up.

the funny thing is i just clicked on this post thinking it was new news about patch 1.3. Doh! read the thread author in future!!

[Holtz]

Apologies.

[con20or]

what are u apologising for? i think u misunderstood me. when i logged onto this site,i saw the topic "Update on patch 1.3 from ubi forum", and clicked on it thinking it was what it said, forgetting that i had posted it originally!

[Holtz]

I should have started a another "wishlist" thread instead of piling on this one.

Next time we're on leave my guys will buy your guys a beer.

[con20or]

sounds good ;D

Anything but Becks!!

[Dominico Baggio]

lol, i dont see a fix for the compressed air though

Well there are some other cool things in there though, im glad

Look forward to it, should be sometime this month i guess.

[con20or]

you think so? I really hope it is. The damage model is the most important in my opinion. Although considering people can get sunk now with a ridiculuously easy damage model,imaginge how its going to be after!!!

[SgtMajor]

I do not think that they are going to make the damage model harder or easier to kill the boat.
After reading and a flurry of emails what we found out was that they are working on the damage and how far out a charge will do. Like from under the boat. At the side close ,far

And to how long it will take for the repair crews to fix it. Most of my damage only takes 2 minutes now to fix, no matter what or where .
Now I have had one take 15 minutes but that one almost sunk me.

But as to it going to be easier to get sunk I do not think that will change much.
I could be wrong but I do not think so on the data that we had.

[con20or]

sorry,thats what i meant. fixing the repair times. but my point was if people(myself included) are having their uboats sunk when it only takes 2 minutes to fix the damage,how are we going to cope if they make it more realistic, say 5 hours or so?

[Venge]

Have to be more careful I guess. I know what you mean though. If they had it right on release then we all would be used to it. But changing it now, although necessary, will change things quite a bit.
