Do they ever run out?

[robbythesub]

Does anyone know whether destroyers that are depth charging you ever run out of charges?

Hope so!

Question applies to GWX 3.0 and WAC

Thanks:smug:

[Jimbuna]

Yes, they do have ammo limits in GWX.....but will still make threatening passes to keep you down http://www.psionguild.org/forums/images/smilies/wolfsmilies/pirate.gif

Yes they do. Ive seen them run out of DCs, just waiting for you to surface so they can watch you sink.:lol:

Thanks guys because I have 2 of them after me in 80 metres of water, and they have been going at it for quite a while now!

How do I take a screen shot?

I understood it was F11 but nothing happens unless I do shift and F11 then it freezes and says 'do you wish to start a screen sequence' , which I say ok to, end then nothing happens.

Many thanks :arrgh!:

CTRL+F11 :up:

Thanks guys- I downloaded the one from jimbuna version 5.0 and it seems to work sometimes and not others, with a small square in the middle.

Anyway, they are after me still!

ps- the ctrl F11 does not work on my machine (vista 32).

:arrgh!:

I wish I knew how to add a picture here, but there we go!

This from the 'How to post an screenshot thread':

I figured out why I couldn't take a screenshot. I am running Vista and have SH3 installed in program files. I had to manually configure my settings to allow the "user" of my computer to make changes to any files under program files. Now that I can take pics I am all set!

[robbythesub]

Thanks but it is not under programme files- just the c drive, and all permissions seem to be set at allow, so not sure, but will keep trying.

How do you add a picture to a message here?

First, make sure the screenshot is in .JPG format, if not then open it up in Paint for example and save it as JPG.

Then go to an imagehosting site such as imageshack.us, upload it there and pick the "Direct link to image" link (in imageshack it's hidden, so press the "show advanced linking" button in the bottom)

Copy the link, come to the post you want to add it to use the and tags to show the image, like this:

Good job on the screenshots and the evasion :up:

Just curious what year are you in? Im in Feb 1940 and had a bitch of a time evading 3 DD's in 130m of water.... took me like 6 game hours to finally shake them. THey got close a few times ....with 2 active pinging and the other listening (GOD I LOVE GWX AI!!!)...

[robbythesub]

I am in Feb 1940 in a VIIB, attacked a convoy east of Hartlepool in north east England, sunk 3 merchants and was found by one warship, then another.
Both depth charged me for a long period, and I had a maximum depth available of 80 metres.
Stayed at around 75 metres, and went to silent speed with silent running ordered, but they still tracked me well for most of the time, with me moving to full ahead each time depth charges were dropped to avoid them, and then returning to silent again, and so on.
I was not able to shake them properly, and was aware that two of the large merchants that were sinking, we in fact still afloat sinking very slowly, so I headed for them, and went beneath at silent speed, where I managed to lose the destroyers.
One then left to catch the rest of the convoy which wa snow out of sight, and the other stayed, made a few runs, but seemed to have run out of fire crackers, and left, leaving me to surfce and carry on the hunt!
Good luck next time. :arrgh!:
