Sub in Convoy

[Baumann]

Hi all!

I got SH3 only a couple of months ago, and have recently downloaded GWX 3.0 which is awesome (thanks to all who have worked on it!). I play the game with 100% realism - although it is more difficult, I find it far more satisfying. As a relatively new user, I have a couple of questions and this forum has to be the best place to ask:

1) In some convoys there appears to be the odd submarine, normally positioned in the central column. What is this? I can only assume it is british/american/kretschmer(lol) but there are no entries in the recognition manual for subs etc.

2) When loading some savegames I have experienced repeated crashes, like the savegame is corrupted - it appears to happen when there are other ships in the area, as oppose to being alone at sea.

1. They're British submarines added by the GWX team. Check out page 367 in the GWX manual. I've seen them also, but never tried sinking one so I couldn't give you any pointers there.

2. SH3 has long had trouble when saving around other ships, especially while submerged. For instance, if you save in port and re-load, the AI controlled ships seem to lose their waypoints and beach themselves and burn. The best advice I can give you to avoid this wonkiness is to not save while submerged, and not to save while around other ships.

Good hunting!

As mookie said, they're AI subs added in by GWX. Less than 2000 tons, but IIRC I once got about 500 or so renown for sinking a T-Class. :hmm: Last patrol I spotted an S-Class traveling with a convoy. Dodged both my torpedoes while zig-zagging.

You wont find them in recog manual
Game limitation
Only shows sea units

[Baumann]

Many thanks for the help/advice. I imagine they are tough to sink so probably best to use my torpedoes on more suitable targets. With regard to the GWX manual, the pdf file I have seems to be faulty too so will have to download another version.

If your fortunate enough to sink one of them, the renown values are:

S Class 320

T Class 420

Is there a concise listing of the renown values for the ships in GWX? I suppose I could tear through the data files, but that's pretty cumbersome.

[A Very Super Market]

Awful lot of renown for 1300 tonnes.

[Weiss Pinguin]

Awful lot of renown for 1300 tonnes.
Yeah but how often are you going to see an enemy submarine, much less get a chance to sink it? :hmm:

[bookworm_020]

Knocked off a S class on my last patrol. Used the deck gun and had me a wonderful time!:D

Phew, took me hours and hours and hours to manually compile this list.

;)

Don't forget:
- Multiply the renown by -1 if the unit sunk is neutral (default as per Basic.cfg)
- Multiply the renown by -10 if the unit sunk is your ally (default as per Basic.cfg)

Wow!
Thanks a lot JScones.

Wow!
Thanks a lot JScones.

I second that, a very useful piece of information:up: . Just one thing, I notice there isn't a renown figure against the Large Modern Tanker, presumably an oversight, but do you know what it is?

0 renown for a Cyclops??

Modern tanker is 320 renown

Thank you, JScones! I suppose you were *really* bored. :hmm: Do you really think I did this manually? :rotfl:

It is as it states - nil. You will not get renown for sinking a "Large Modern Tanker" (OLNippon) because no value exists in the config file (an oversight by the GWX team).

Thanks for the clarification JScones. Can this oversight be easily rectified by the end user or will it entail lots of work?

OLNippon isnt part of GWX :up:
Is from the community units mod IIRC

I should really pay more attention to what is in my install!

Yes, my list above includes Community Mod ships which GWX 3.0 users will only have if they install the mod themselves.
