I tryed to find the solution through search forums and read a lot of threads, but...
So I would be very greatefull for some help or hints!
Happy New Year everybody!

Most of the radio messages are just eye candy.

All the best matey.

Thank you for explanation, Jimbuna!
A little bit disappointed - seems to me it could be interesting to use radio messages for hunting...
Good luck!

If you use one of the Wreford Brown mods they are announcements of historic events that are actually scripted into GWX.

I think it's Lehmann News or something similar that is currently used.....this keeps you informed of historical events around the world as well as the scripted events.

When in a SH3 multiplayer game & you are closing on the convoy press the the fullstop & comma keys & you flick through the ships in the convoy in gods eye mode

Not only in multiplayer, it's in stock as well.

Hello fellow submariner, I used to live in the Heights near downtown Houston.

Would you like to lend a hand with solving a perplexing problem?

Would there be any shortcuts to overriding the following:
When operating in a Type II A during the first carreer mission, the 20mm gun platform shown on F7 crew management simply disappears in any given weather condition when the vessel is surfaced about halfway through the mission.

When I go back to a previous game same on the same mission, it reappears, only to disappear once the mission is more or less back to its original point where the ability to man this station evaporates. I've gone through almost one half dozen of these first missions with the same result!

With this gun I hope to succeed in tallying about a dozen sinkings by mission's end; without the use of this weapon (about 100 rounds can sink a tug boat) I'm pretty much limited to the five torpedoes.

If you do not have any ideas/suggestions, how about referring me to someone who might be interested??

Happy Trails!

I want to add a buton to make my boat run in silent runing. I found the command key file in the config files and I found the silent runing entry therein. What do I type in and where exactly would I type that to make a buton for it?

Never mind, I found the buton that toggles silent runing. It is "z" if you didn't know

Lose AA/AF even when using nHancer?
Not me anyway.

In GWX, if you plot a course East of Helgoland Island, you'll sink. As in, getting a game over screen due to damage. I think you run aground. But, could be some mines in there?

Mines, seems to be the general consensus:
