How do you do heading to view? Like change your heading to where you are looking?

The F1 page says the "-" button or soemthign but it never works for me.

Im using GWX3gold btw

Hi there!

What's with the range of these torpedos in SH3? 1,8km??

Information about TII on the web says 5000m at 30knts.
In the game manual it says 5000m but in-game data in career mode it says 1,8km...
Strange isn't it?

Any ideas about this?

Hi all,

First post on this suberb site. Been playing SH3 for years on and off but have learnt loads from this thread regardless. Haven't seen this tip posted yet so:

When scanning the horizon yourself (either in normal view, bino's or uzo) very distant vessels will be visable first at the extreme edge of the screen (ie not in the centre of the screen) so focus your eyes on the edge rather than the centre and you'll see ships at least 1Km further out.

Welcome aboard, both of you!

@ brazuca22: I don't have an answer to your question, because I'm so bad I never shoot outside of 500 meters.

@ Plumber1: That's a good tip.

Just go back and forth from "barracks" to "awards" gets same results. Works for Petty officers & sailors too.

remember to click on the map screen so your profile is saved in the "before mission" state.

Hey Mates,

if you're controlling the rudder with the mouse by clicking on the rudder's gauge, you get 35 degrees port / starbord maximum. If you do it by keyboard, you get 5 degrees more.

key "ü" (upper second key left of ENTER-key) >>>>>>hard to port 40 degrees
key "+" (upper first key left of ENTER-key)>>>>>>>>>hard to starbord 40 degrees

key "ä" (one key left of "#" key) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>will set rudder to "midships" again

all meant for german language PC keyboards.

Lost a ton of torps this way

Hi All;

This is a quest to find out how to erase all my waypoints in one click using the tool helper. I've seen guys do it in videos but don't know how it's done.

Any clues would be most helpful, thanks.

Cheers,

jakjack · 04-26-15, 08:23 PM

Shift+left click on any waypoint, (with the eraser selected), should do the trick!
