And minefields... yeah. Is there any way to get intel on suspected mine positions in SH3+GWX? It's April '40 and I just got a nasty surprise just off British east coast. And how to make TC drop when getting blown by mine?

Bl00dCat · 12-15-12, 04:17 PM

Jimbuna, thanks... So I may assume any point closer 100km to shore is likely full of surprises.
However, I met something like that in my last patrol when cruising some 200 km away from any land, ESE from Scapa Flow. Was going on Ahead Standart, 30 meters deep, no hydrophone contacts... BANG! ALL compartments damaged and leaking, one sailor wounded -- checked the depth, but it was 50 m to bottom. And in 10 seconds -- BANG #2. Wounded died right away, conning tower destroyed, more leaks and involuntary crash dive all the way to bottom. And when I got to Kiel, my hull integrity was 93% -- I didn't know Germans made their U-boots of eternium, 'cause she survived one mine encounter and two successful depth bombings earlier on that patrol.
And thank you for such a great mod. GWX made me play SH3 again, and it's awesome.

UPD Funny thing. I mentioned I got one sailor killed during mine(?) accident, and one more died before that due to depth charge. So I tossed both of them to sea -- and voila, no crew casualties listed after patrol! Is this working alright?

-- Ya know, some of my crew died on patrol, and it'll look bad on my file...
-- Don't worry, just throw them to the sharks and I'll burn their papers -- so they never served on your crew!

Hi,

there is a good SHIII compilation on the Youtube (the compillation was made by frontier359). I have noticed that he could use the Hydrophonegerät (manually). Which mod enable this?

Here is a vid:
and a better one: (at 7:30)

That's not a mod. You can do that with stock and any of the major mods(GWX, NYGM).

Hit the H key and it will take you there. With the mouse you can manipulate the hand wheel. Also, one of the knobs will control the volume. COmes in handy for the deaf hydrophone operators like me.

Welcome JTK

Yoshiki · 03-19-13, 02:01 PM

Have been plowing my way through a third of this thread.
Awesome information. Many thanks.

Some of the links do not longer work - but that's normal.

So: I'm playing SH3 with GWX. Would like to install the
'Captains mod' or what it's called.

Could someone give me a working link to both GWX 3.0
Gold and this captains mod? Thanks a lot.

I'm planning to install the whole SH3 from scratch starting
with SH3 from steam. How do I proceed from there.

I know that this has been asked a kazillion times but
Iwould still be grateful.

Do you mean SH3 Commander?

Yoshiki · 03-20-13, 09:10 AM

Yes!!! Many thanks!

One last thing - then I won't bother you no more:

In which order shall I install?

First SH3 v 1.4b, second GMX, last Commander?

Is that right?

Yes this is exactly right.
Don't forget the SH3 Commander files for GWX.
They can be found in the download section of Subsim.
