Ahh, didn't they put something like this in SH4, something weird about the crew if I remember correctly.

The Home and End keys should do the trick for you.

Cheers !! A few more!!


1) Can i zoom right into the deck guns sights like SH3 and SH4? Seems i can only go so close and am offset.
1) Where's the time compression displayed? I can press the keys and see the increase/decrease, but not what the actual compression is?
3) And lastly is there hotkeys for the periscopes, UZO, and deck guns or have i got to make my own way there every time?

And is there a list anywhere of the game keys? Not the F1 screen that comes up but just a list?

Thanx again



Thanx

Okay will try here, but I am also using SH3/4 keys mod by CCC that reverts most of SH5 keys into those used in Sh3.

1. click on the deck gun, on the upper Left hand side there next to the AP shell there is a small icon looks like binocs click on that to zoom to diff settings.

2.TC speed setting is displayed on the upper right side where you can manual click on the +/- or use the num pad it displays what tc you are at.

3. NO! Gotta run to the stations.

Hope this helps

Default Ladder climbing

This is my first post so please be gentle as I'm a bit clueless. I'm about to give up on this game and I've loved the rest of the series. I just can't consistently climb the ladder. I have tried heretic's suggestion and still not consistent. Help

Welcome

I had the same issues when I 1st started, but soon got the hang of it. make sure you are facing the ladder and are close. Now look up just above eye level then walk forward. That should do it 4 u.
I was making the mistake of looking all the way up and wondering why I could not climb, so hope this helped

PLaying the game for 2 days now and slowly get the hang of it.

However, does anybody have an idea where to find the setting for the torpedo salvo spread angle? Maybe it works automatic depending on range, I have certain suspicions going this way, but a manual way of entering these values would be highly appreciated.

Also, does anybody know where the tower emblem folder is located?

welcome

As far as I know there is no way to set the spread angle yourself IMO. Having read alot of threads pre and post release it seems its pretty much set, to what who knows.

Thanks in advance
Talk to N°2 (watch officer) and choose "free the deckgun" option.
Or hit the F5 key.

With your mouse-wheel while hovering the cadran or the wheel.

Look more carefully at your screenshot. Your next objective is to Plot a course to Kiel (plot it into the harbor, not just near the area). Until you do that you cannot progress with the tutorial and certain UI elements, like the one you're "missing" won't display.

The biggest thing is to look straight foward when approaching the ladder dont look up

Thats from the 'training' tutorial some of the features are disabled for whatever reason.

Did anyone mention shft+F for hold current depth?

Handy when diving, just order a dive and when you reach the depth you want shft+F and she will level out.
