new to SH3, several questions

homestar · 05-31-2012, 07:22 PM

Hello all

my father has been playing for a while and set me up with GWX and a few mods (decks awash/fuel economy and the one that fixes the lazy watch officer). i had a question

1. i enjoy listening to the old tracks over the 1mc on the gramophone, but could it give away my position? can enemy sonar hear it?

Happy hunting!

The gramophone cannot be heard. Play it all you want, even on silent running. Doesn't make a difference to you being detected. Purely there for your entertainment

so ive run across another annoying problem and maybe you fine folks can help. i hit an ammunition ship with 2 torps, she still needed some help going down so i surfaced to deck gun her. my wonderful crew seems to have left the ammo for it in wilhelmshaven!

who do i have to keel haul to ensure this doesnt happen again.

Hmm never happend to me before, you know you have to click with the mouse on the bullet picture for the first time you use the deckgun to reload it?

With GWX the very first time you use the deck gun you have to go to the position and load it yourself. After that you should never have to do it again.

Homestar... Any 0811 worth his salt knows that you have to load the gun before it will fire ~~

Salute !!!
