Wouldn't be 12-9-6-3-1 instead?

So HoI1 is definitely dead. It's a pity, I'd like to have seen all my efforts with Spain into the game. :(

Wait a little for HOI2.....:)

Does this mean there definitely won't be another pic pack with election events for HoI?

It's a bit weird that I have to PAY for a new game in order to see my own work :)

At least I will be in the "special thanks" section? :D

(it's a joke, of course...)

Rumors tell that you are having little sleep in those days...
 
Missing the REAL 'sea wolf' and other u-boat aces

Forgive me if I'm posting to the wrong forum,
but I've been playing 1.06 (as well as CORE) for awhile now,
and I've noticed one glaring problem with the leaders of the german Kriesgsmarine - it's missing the real 'sea wolves'.

Doenitz is the 'best' sea wolf, even though he hardly spent much time at sea or in combat, yet the best u-boat 'aces' are totally absent - why?

Below is a simple list of over a dozen u-boat aces, ranked by ships sunk and tonnage of ships sunk.

Would be nice to update the leader mods and graphics to include a few of these arguably historical military figures.


U-Boat aces (from http://www.axishistory.com/index.php?id=2270 )

Name Ships Tonnage
Otto Kretschmer 47 274.386
Wolfgang Lüth 47 225.756
Erich Topp 36 198.658
Günther Prien 30 186.253
Heinrich Liebe 34 185.377
Heinrich Lehmann-Willenbrock 25 179.212
Viktor Schütze 34 174.896
Herbert Schultze 26 169.709
Karl-Friedrich Merten 27 167.271
Joachim Schepke 38 161.340
Georg Lassen 27 160.348
Heinrich Bleichrodt 27 158.957
Werner Henke 25 157.064

I believe individual ship captains aren't in the game unless they became admiral during the war because this is a strategic game, not tactical.
 
Unless we are talking about a minor country with few or no admirals... in wich case, everyone capable of handling a sail boat is qualified to become Lv1 Rear Admiral in HoI...
