Anyone using the SUBMARINE TRACKER ?

Post by pavel01 »

Since I am learning about WiTP AE, I was directed to this page https://sites.google.com/site/n01487477/Home?pli=1 for Tutorial Videos which I found very instructive (thanks !) and learned quite a bit from them.

At the bottom of that page there is a Utils - Submarine Tracker link.
That's an Excel Spreadsheet which I do not understand how to use to keep track of Submarines.

Could anyone using it please kindly tell me how I should properly utilize it in order to then be able to keep track of Submarines ?

Thanks !!

Never used it.

My idea of tracking subs each turn is going to the All Ships screen in the game, deselecting all ships, selecting submarines and clicking on those who have at least 10 points in any damages category. If need arises, the sub is manually relieved from her patrol and sent to a port for repairs.

Sorry, never used it either. I'm playing a PBEM as Japanese player and from 1943 onwards tracking my subs is easy - I send them out, they get sunk.

I tried to get this sub tracker to work, but it seems to have errors in the scripting. It is a beta after all (and who knows if its still being worked on). Shame, because it would be really nice to see the individual results of subs over the course of the war.

I use it for flavor. Does a good job of tracking sub kills and tonnage. I did have to do a couple of htings to get it going. Can't remember the author of it now ... but i suspect he's still around so ping him.
