Default SH3 Hints and Keyboard Tricks

OK, there is a thread on one diesel engine not working. Many did not know the engine was recharging the batteries. I would like to start this thread on the premise that if you hit a key or combination of keys something happens, ie right clicking an officers back will put you at his station. So please add a key or key combination that allows you to do something to this thead.

I stated in that thread on the diesel engine that you can ask the engineer for standard propulsion(both engines work) for more speed. In other words, the engineer stops the charging and brings the second diesel online for more speed.

Please make an entry! I bet we all might learn something new even after playing for two years or more!

Left clicking one compartment and then right clicking another will completely fill up the left clicked compartment with crew from the right clicked compartment.

Now that I did not know! I'm tired of moving each crewman individually
You can also double click a compartment and it will fill it with enough crewmen to operate, but not all the way full. Double clicking a compartment also swaps out the red exclamation mark crewmen for fresh ones.

Shift+PageUp or Pagedown adjusts the sun glare effect of Nvidia cards.

Just an additional note (you'll find this out the first time you do it) you will lose AA/AF when you adust it higher.

Control-F8 toggles a little box at the top of the screen that displays your frame rate.

ctrl+insert raises your observation periscope all the way, ctrl+delete lowers it all the way. ctrl+pageup raises the attack scope all the way, ctrl+pagedown lowers it all the way.

Using the ctrl keys along with the appropriate up and down buttons I did know, but the clicking on the ship's name to open the recognition manual to the right page I did not. Thanks for sharing that one!

I do so hate fumbling through the book when I have to do some fast torpedo depth setting changes on multiple tubes for different targets. That'll save a ton of time.

Pressing 'D' when your tired and feeling sleepy often leads to CHS (crushed hull syndrome) :rotfl:

Control-left click will center your U-boat on the map exactly where you've placed the cursor when you've clicked.

Switching on manual TDC data give you a bunch of new things to do when lining up a shot. You have to ID the ship type, range, speed and AOB. Or you can let your weps do it for you by clicking on him then clicking on the idnetify target and prepare solution buttons.

I love seeing if I can get the range right using the line on the scope then getting weps to have his shot.

Right clicking on the officers faces on the bottom panel will bring up the full screen dials for you too use.
