Technically anything is possible if you're willing to learn how to develop and program for Unity, the engine that Uboat uses.

You could ask content creators 'ii' or Link for help as they both created mods that use the in-game radio messaging system to send messages to the player.

But you would have to texture and program the Enigma machine yourself or use this third-party enigma simulator outside the game.

To add to this, users are free to take Expanded Radio Bdu Reports and convert them to Enigma messages. just reach out and let me know if you plan on providing a conversion.

Yes, possible. But we already thought this out and feel it's not worth the effort. Just very few would always go and decrypt radio messages manually. Most would rate this as a cool addition, but use it only a few times before it's getting repetitive/boring.

But the book is not fully closed yet. So, let's see what time will bring :)

i can agree it can get repetitive and slightly boring, but on the other hand itt adds alot to the atmosphere, so if you only select a few kind of messeges like only for captain to read,and big news avent russia invasion etc.. maybe even a couple of fake ones like Privet Dumkopf is to be set in arrest and on arival at port handed over to the gestapo for harrasing and spreading crabs to the pretty girls in Lorient :) me personly woud love to se this in game :)

Unfair, Privet Dumkopf was just returning them to their owners. Real humanitarian that guy.

That was my reply last time this question was brought up, may be 'fun' or immersive the first time, maybe the second, but almost guaranteed not to be what vast majority will do regularly.

So have to agree it is a waste of time unless you have time to waste. But IMHO, OP feel free to mod this.

EDIT: have to ask, if a virtual enigma is in SH, did they base it on actual encryption gears, plug wires, and electronic paths as seen/accessed in a museum? Or just how they think it works, because it is obviously much more complex than the average mind can wrap around. I suspect if an enigma has been modded is is just a facsimile of how one appears in use, not how one actually works.

Let's wait first to see what changes have been made to b129 in terms of radio/hydrophone.
