Haha send me your mail as a private message.

i'm guessing from the above posts that you gifted him a copy of the game. That was immensely kind of you.
you better watch out or you may suddenly have lots of birthday requests.
dont worry its not my birthday and i have already bought the DLC. if its even 1/10th as good as ICE it will be awesome, if its 1/10 as good as it looks from the dev diaries then its going to be the most enjoyment from a game in a very longer time.
Hey. We know all of that, and please try the DLC before having concerns about it.
U-boats did get sonar, like the Sondergerät Fur Aktive Schallortung (S-Gerät), and the Sonderapparat (SU-Apparat) – Nibelung.
About techs dates you shouldn't be so focussed on when we have the year set to 'cause it's also dependent on difficulty and with some techs you need events to have taken place. Also after you've researched the techs you need to get your units upgraded too. So researching somethin by late 1941 doesn't mean that you'll have it in service by late 1941.
Don't worry, as a long time Silent Hunter nerd I've been adding a lot of detail and realism in the sub techs, names, dates and so on.
Just read this thread: ah, the war in the atlantic appears to be coming alive! How nice.
What is the in-game purpose of the coastal boats? Considering the 1942 dynamics, if I loose a u-boat, will I loose the commanding admiral? (I hope not) Finally, have you considering forcing boats to return to port after a period of patrol?

I thought that was already implemented in vanilla through org loss? After a sub has been at sea for a week or two hunting, the org is next to nothing, forcing you to return?
Earlier in this thread I was trying to come up with ways to make Sealion harder. In another thread it was mentioned that England get a level 10 radar in London per an event. Is this also in this DLC? having more radar should make the transport visable and help the AI a little.
No thats just when they have seen a lot of action. If they cant find a target their org stays up. And if i remember correctly, subs can actually regain org while convoy raiding.
Wikipedia does not agree with you (or the DLC):
"Two types of technology share the name "sonar": passive sonar is essentially listening for the sound made by vessels; active sonar is emitting pulses of sounds and listening for echoes."
Basically a hydrophone is also a sonar device. And these had been used since WW1.
But we can guess that the mod treats sonar as active sonar since there is a separate tech for the passive one called hydrophone already. And in that I can agree with you. Id rather see more techs for hydrophones instead since alot of advancements were done there aswell up until 1944 when they even had one that could feed targeting data to allow for blindfire without periscope.

There are both techs for historical hydrophone advances, as well as for active sonar. Don't worry.
Just a quick pedantic note.
Dr. V. R. Jones in his memoirs wrote about the deception operations against the U-Boats. The British had experimented with infrared before the war and used that experience to give the Germans the idea the detection of submarines was via infrared receptors on escort ships. In response, German scientists devised a very ingenious type of paint that included suspended glass particles to mimic the infrared color of seawater. There may have been a radar element to the Atlantic War but Dr. Jones did not discuss that.

Ive got all expansions now to hoi 3 and wonder if this Dies Irae Götterdämmerung and the US version is TFH compatible? Guessing it is other place to ask this but Im of some years just affording the price for the expansions at this late point. Hoping for an answer anyway.
I am not completely certain but I do believe that all DLC made by DevilDread have not been updated to work with TFH. I think they work with FTM (For The Motherland) and the game files should include a launcher that allows a FTM launch of the game.
Dies Irae: Götterdammerung was made for Semper Fi, but has a beta patch making it compatible with For The Motherland. It doesn't work with Their Finest Hour, but the Dies Irae Vorwärts Panzers mod is based on DIG and adapted to work with Their Finest Hour, I haven't personally tried it so I can't vouch for how closely it follows the original DIG.
