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
Npc Submarines and Player Missions based off real world historical uboat patrol data


News reports and BdU reports on real historical Events and Missions New Skills which enable officers to have sailor followers

After acquiring skill you must use the following UI to add the sailor to the officer before it will show up on the Officer portrait

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/

Uboat Expanded combines the following mods into one workshop mod
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
Not included:
Expanded Radio Messages Audio Addon

Partial Integration:
Historical Flags & Identification Book by ii

Not Integrated:
Wilhelmshaven Expanded (Not Considered due to bugs)
Fishing Expanded (Not Considered due to bugs)

Not Required but Highly Recommended:
to fill in missing functionality not provided by UBE or to compensate for UBE features.

• Ensure that you enable Uboat Expanded in the game launcher after subscribing
• When using U-Boat Expanded, ensure to unsubscribe from the mods listed above, this will help performance and prevent unintended behavior
• You must start a new campaign for Uboat Expanded to work
• If you don’t want all the features enabled in Uboat Expanded, only subscribe to the submods listed, ensure you disable the Uboat Expanded mod when doing so.
