Hey everyone... I'm fairly new to SH3 (had it for years... never "mastered" it by any account). I downloaded GWX 3.0 this time around... but now I have a few questions.
1- I HATE trying to identify ships. All I get, with the related 'realism' settings to OFF, is a generic description of the ship. "Cargo Ship" or "Tugboat" etc. I have to creep WAAAY on up there to see the flag (my eyes ain't so good)... I once thought it was a Brit flag and started to shell from about 4km away... turned out to be a German ship. OOPS! So... any way to auto this like in standard where it would mark the ID book for you?
2- I've started a campaign in Aug. 39. I know the war hasn't officially started, so most nations are considered "neutral" during my first patrol. The first time I started, I blasted some Brit merchants... but lost a lot of renown. What gives? Can I only hit armored Brits until September? Makes the first patrol BOOORING.... even if somewhat realistic I suppose.
Thanks for the info! Happy hunting!
