thanks link, I will try.

Should be but it likely has compatibility issues with other mods that also modify ship icons

It's compatible with the latest patch?

thanks :)

Un-unlisted :)

Is it possible to un-unlist it?

This mod was made unlisted

For some reason, I can't find this mod when I search "Remove Ship Icons" on the workshop (I have to go to my subscribed items) and this is the only mod in my subscribed items that Steam won't let me add to a collection.

+1 for the 'a' and 'b' icons, great mod, adds to the immersion

When locked on target, the “a” and “b” target icons are visible exposing the location of target on map to full accuracy

Please identify what portions of the mod are incompatible or share an output log.

update plz

update

Removed Target Crosshair which was giving away location of ships in UI selection

G'day! I've gotten good enough that with the default map I could zoom around in a convoy, avoiding the escorts, and sink commercial vessels willy nilly. Not very realistic though and I was beginning to find the sim too easy and starting to get bored.

However, after using this mod and the "More Realistic Map Mode," all I can say is WOW! Makes for a whole new challenging game and much more fulfilling to sink enemy vessels without getting caught.

Thank you for this mod or I'd probably be shelving Uboat about now.

I think I'm going to give this a try. I kind of like the idea of having ?s on the ships just for the sake of not having to micro the hydrophone operator, especially when you're being hunted and trying to take care of the rest of your skipper-business. Otherwise how do you have a clue if a DD is making a run on you except when the hydrophone operator says he hears screws overhead? I just want something to keep me from using the map to magically plot courses and range ships with a ridiculously high degree of accuracy.

I still get white question marks (?) in the enemy ships position. Will it be fixed?

More Realistic Map Mode is now updated for B129.

Great mod. I have no idea how to find ships via hydrophone with it enabled (I cannot tell the sounds of ships from my own, or the background sea noise), but great at giving the game more realism. Thanks.

Nevermind, it fixed itself for some reason after about a minute

As far as I can tell, this currently removes the icon for your own uboat. I can send a screenshot on discord.

Thank you so much for updating this to B129. This goes a long way to fixing the "arcade mode" the stock game provides.

You da best!

yep I found that too, I believe I found the question mark icon. and I will try to remove it with another patch.

Sorry forgot to mention: 129 P6, other mods: tdc, compass, custom actions, ballast control, hardscope, easier resupply, sinking physics overhaul.

Huge thanks, link!

For me it removes the icons, but I get white question marks (?) on the map, in the enemy ships' position.

Updated to work with B128 and B129

Assets should be compatible between B128 and B129. However the new manifest file may not work on B128. If this is the case using B128, find the Mod Folder in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\494840\2230136199 and Rename Manifest.old.json as Manifest.json.

Compiled the list of icons last night for removal and / grey scale for (generic icons). Will port over and compile an asset file soon. If it works I should have an update by tonight or this weekend. I will also look into having the mod compatible with B128 and 129 as I assume both icons can be present in the files while only the relevant icons from the manifest loaded.

Thank you for your efforts! Your mod is among the main ones, whose update I look forward to.

Currently I and other modders are having issues with unity asset.manifest files and are unable to create new assets in B129. Currently have to rebuild using b128 and port over to b129.

I will look in to making a B129 version of remove ship icons.

we are waiting for an update

Yes it is,

Remove Ship Icon Color and Remove Ship Icons needs to be updated.

TODO:
-Remove Color / Remove Icon for Torpedos
-Add Custom Assets for UBE

Is it possible to remove the Torpedo Icons?

Good point. Description changed.

You say this mod is not save game compatible but it works with a new save of mine? Odd

@alligator this may be related to caching
@eritainment, I don't believe this is possible via a simple datasheet change + unity asset change at the moment the game handles the ui for the player and npc contacts in the same way.
@delayed_revalations,
This request is likely better suited as a feature request to the devs. This mod doesn't change any of the game code. However there are wip mods that are looking to change the code to targeting and the map. I am unsure of any mod development around audio additions to the game for crew

Is there a mod/ is it possible to make a mod, where your crewmen, callout the bearing of new contacts... and it is logged in a small note pad or something...

basically, by removing ship icons entirely, you are entirely reliant on your own use of hydrophone or periscope to locate the enemy ships.

But i like to play just the captain role, and have my officers do this bit for me, so when a new contact is spotted, it would be perfect if the officer calls out its bearing, followed by maybe a rough distance like "far or close", and i would pencil mark this on the map.

You can also have an option to ask your hydrophonist, to repeat all contacts and bearings he is currently tracking

Could you somehow enable the arrow back on your own uboat symbol?
I'd be super convenient to just see what direction you're facing when submerged. :)

Nice I like the realism from this

Hi link,

sometimes a white square appears over a friendly submarine. Unfortunately, I have not yet found out why this is not the case with all submarines.

Great mod, with tdc and more accurate bearing markers, uboat is not the same ! thanks again !

@link Thank you for checking this point.
If I can test something in this regard, just let me know ;)

Greetings,

@Alligator I can look in to restoring the allied submarine vessel icon. That's a good point

Yes sir it is

it is compatible with b128 version??

Hi Link,
is it possible to give the German Navy a symbol on its own submarines?
You need this if you want to coordinate a wolf pack attack.
I personally think that you shouldn't coordinate a submerged submarine because you couldn't reach it in reality at the time of WW2. It may make sense in the game, however, since you have to complete missions with wolf pack attacks.

Super MOD- Now the contact management of ships and planes feels realistic ;)
Good work!

Greetings,

@ToastbrotTV please note this mod is not save game compatible, please let me know if you have additional issues, or if there are output.log errors

Doesnt work....
