Hello Laffertytig!
In my opinion if the weather was awful Uboat Commanders would not usually attack. I do not know how difficult was for them to perform an attack in bad weather but it surely was a challenge.
Playing SH3 with the Ubermod installed will make you realise part of this challenge! It is difficult for example to maintain a steady course and you must set your Uboats depth to 11 meters or so to make the use of the attack scope effective. A German commander at a BBCs documentary said that sometimes in bad weather they could see merchant ships moving parallel to the UBoats course but they just couldn't attack them due to heavy seas. Survival was their only care.

The part that is unrealistic here is that ships can be identified from a distance up to 16km! (If you want you can pretend that you can't identify the ship from that distance and try get closer to it.:hmm:)

--------------------------------------

OLC, can you tell us if the UZO in RL was like the one in the Ubermod? If not, how did they calculate the targets range while on a surface attack? Maybe an experienced commander could estimate the range by eye(?) I don't know.

This is a minor bug report.
The 205 bearing is shown as 025. Check your bearing indicator if you want.:yep:
It might be confusing at times if this is the only bearing the indicator shows.
Check the pic and you'll know.:up:

No it wasn't marked like that, and yes they could estimate the range very well because they would get in very close under cover of darkness. The lines on the UZO are my way of allowing the player to get a reasonably accurate range "estimate" on nearby ships.

Everyone ^^^please take note^^^ as a fix may not be coming anytime soon!

Thanks tomfon. :up:

i just wanna make sure ive installed this mod correctly as im gettin wild range estimates.

OLCE2, OLC GUI, OLD GUI SPECIAL, and then double mast values. the OLC GUI video has db mast values but the OLC special vid doesnt. as i have both of these installed then should or shouldnt i be usin db mast values? is that the correct order to install?

As far as I know you should install either OLC GUI Special or OLC GUI, but not both at the same time!

Correct.

Cannot seem to be able to download this mod
 

Hi to you and thanks for the mod,

I have tried to download but always seem to get a pile of corrupted files.

Shouold I switch off my virus/firewall software while downloading, are the files perhaps corrupted, can you make any recomendations, I've used the Filefront link will try the Beyond the shadows perhaps with better luck

R

No, don't turn off your virus/firewall. :o
BTS are still doing site maintenance, or something, anyway downloads have not been working there for some time now.
I dunno what to suggest if your downloads are corrupt. Anyone else got any ideas?

Cannot download OLCE2 Corrupt file warnings
 

Hi there, I just tried again, this time I switched off my firewall and antivirus, no dice Winrar diagnostic tells me there are a number of corrupt files.

When I look into OLCE2 and try to install into my mods folder I get hundreds of corruptfiles notices, just from the one folder others are the same.

Hope you can offer a solution

R

that might explain it then:roll:

I don't know what BTS is doing because I can't download anything from there. No matter if I log in or not your files are only shown as a text description. No link to them. Also your section in their forum seems to be flushed of messages. Filefront works perfectly. No corruption.

Have you made sure you're using the latest version of winrar and/or 7zip?

Will try to download new eds of win rar and zip to see if thats where the problem is

Night is fine, the sea plays a wave... However it is a pity, that the moon still is not reflected in water... :-?;)
