[WIP 2025.1] U-Boat Expanded

(back from the dead and on life support) Updated to Version 0.8.8 [2025.1] !

See the Change Notes here


Until I release UBE Version 1.0.0 , this mod is in a Work in Progress [WIP] state.
Features may be added, removed, changed during the mods development, It is a careful balance between figuring out what works and what doesn't.
Hopefully, shortly (a few months) after Uboats final release. However, this does not mean that there wont be new "Expanded" Mods or new integration following release.
Feature List
Detailed Feature List

Uboat Expanded seeks to recreate a historically accurate representation of all the maritime activity during World War II using real data from http://www.uboat.net and http://www.convoyweb.org.uk/
