WoS : Deck Awash problems

Hi Rosco

When at deck awash depth, even if the kiosk is of course above the sea level, the game consider the submarine as below the water line.... so he is a list of annoyances that alter my game experience :

Use TDW's Options File Editor Viewer and go to the Patches Tab and set your depth to how you want to play your game.

Quote:

- you cannot use the binoculars at all
- you cannot ask your kiosk crew about any visual contact, as the icon are greyed like if you were underwater.
- you cannot request a celestial fix, as before the guy consider the sub underwater.
- you cannot request the weather outside, same as above.
The binocular is the main problem, as I love to use them because of their better zoom level.

This has been done purposely to stop you over using the Decks Awash option.

Ok thanks for the info, I leave it like that then, the basic setting 7.2 meters depth sounds good, this was just strange I couldn't use the binoculars.

Sorry for reviving this.

I believe this is the option THEBERBSTER is referring but unfortunately that actually only changes the depth in which the u-boat dives when you press the deck awash button.

while i look for it myself if anyone can shed a light on what the correct option is i would really appreciate it.

Just to make it clear what im looking for is the option that changes the depth that the game considers the u-boat to be under water so i can increase it. That way when using the deck awash command or even in rough seas i don't keep losing the binoculars and other things.

It would be great to fix that! I'm also looking to create a hotkey to request submerged bridge so I can remove the in-game depth bar for more immersion. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.

I think it can be fixed. Today I will test on all boats and let you know.

But we go down to 6m.20... I went down to 7m.40 but I actually lose the binoculars... that doesn't bother me.!! Uzo works for the attack... the binoculars are secondary... they are more used for observations from very far away... Maybe Vecko knows the problem... and can tell us more...

Good evening everyone, the “flood bridge” technique...
It seems to me that this technique can be used to reduce the silhouette of the Uboat... it can also facilitate a rapid dive.. it can also increase the autonomy of the action radius... I think that is the first idea.. our sailor friends on deck have difficulty seeing, except of course in really calm seas 0 m/s see 2 to 3m/s..but maybe someone more seasoned like John Pancoast.. derstosstrupp.. sheds more light on the subject I'm going to investigate myself...
