Feature List
This Mod combines the following mods into one:
Expanded Ports
Expanded Convoys and Shipping Lanes
Expanded Crew Names
Expanded Ship Names
Expanded Uboat Roster
Expanded Missions
Complete Kriegsmarine Grid System
Expanded Radio Messages

Do not install component mods of UBE (listed above) with Uboat Expanded they are already in the mod and adding them will only cause crashes and bugs
Features:
  • Adds merchant vessel shipping lanes between regional ports and trans-Atlantic shipping
  • Adds German shipping groups and naval vessels. German ports should no longer feel empty and abandoned.
  • Adds a number of missing countries to the Sandbox (see Country List) Along with historically accurate naval ensigns and national flags (via Historical Flags and Identification Book by ii )
  • Adds an extensive list of additional air patrols
  • Convoys evolve and change over the course of the war as new countries join the allies/axis and military might grows and diminishes throughout the war.
  • Adds 100+ New Ports (see Port List)
  • Adds New Airfields
  • Ports and Airfields change ownership as Axis and Allies occupy territories.
  • Expands the list of available ship names (approx. 40,000)
  • Expands the list of available ship categories
  • Expands the list of available ship classes (approx. 800) Ship Class List)
  • Expands the list of available crew names (approx. 1000 First / Last German Names)
  • Expands the list of available U-boat hulls and corrects their patrol activity dates within the sandbox.
  • Implements all known historical Convoys from WWII (200+ Convoys)
    see Convoy Web List[www.convoyweb.org.uk] for a full list
  • Modifies Officer Skills to make progression more interesting and rewarding
  • Implements historically accurate Kriegsmarine Grid System onto map
  • Implements historically accurate Radio News Events for nearly every day of the war
  • Implements historical Radio Breaking News Events for Allied Vessels being sunk along with a description of what happened
  • Provides Historical Uboat Patrol Summaries via BdU Radio Messages
  • Adjusts Weights and transfer times of Items to historical values, This also makes time at port for resupply longer (approx 14 days). A Unit of food is anywhere from 0.6-1.8 kg , a full food store is usually 6,000-7,500kg. Extra Slots Mod may be useful
  • Adjust Food consumption to be approximately 134 kg per day ( approx 2.5 kg per sailor assuming maximum occupancy of 52 crew - npc crew count is not considered ) This takes assumptions about supplies which don't exist in game (loss,efficency,spoilage,excess), but is more accurate. see my calculations here[docs.google.com]
  • Adds 18 New Campaigns Spanning the Entire War at new German Uboat Pens like Hammerfest, Narvik, Pola and more
  • Adds 10 New Campaign Objectives across the Atlantic for specific time periods and regions which reflect historical flotilla patrols
  • Adds new campaign UI and Scenario Images
  • Adds the actual images of Uboat Captains into the Targeting/ Map UI when viewing a friendly Uboat
  • Adds HQ summary Tasks which help to describe UBoat Missions and Patrol areas during course of the war
  • Adds New Textures to Freighters (WIP)
  • Adjusts Torpedo Dud chance and mass values
  • Limits when reseach can be conducted and applies automatic unlock of Equipement at specific dates UBE Research Dates [i.imgur.com]
