[Matador.es]

Hai there, lets build a place where to group some "small" questoins. Thjis way we dont have to open tons of topics to learn some.

Some questions i have


- Can i change realism ones i have started my carreer
- where can i find the depth meter
- Can you use compressed air to refresch the sub while submerged
- my crew sometimes stays at the deck gun after o " have removed" them (this might be battle station result or bug)

Aye

Hai there, lets build a place where to group some "small" questoins. Thjis way we dont have to open tons of topics to learn some.

Some questions i have


- Can i change realism ones i have started my carreer Not in middle of an patrol, but when you're in the bunker, you should be able to change difficulty from the options.
- where can i find the depth meter It should be right there on the bottom left corner.
- Can you use compressed air to refresch the sub while submerged You mean like circulate fresh air in to the boat? No.
- my crew sometimes stays at the deck gun after o " have removed" them (this might be battle station result or bug) AFAIK, this is a bug with the moral system. Manning/securing deck gun or the flak gun takes one moral point, if you spent your watch officer's last morale point by manning the gun you might have problems securing it. Stupid, I know.

Aye

Deck gun is buggy, yes. For the moment, man it yourself. 2 crewmembers should pop up to man the gun. When you leave it, they won't fire since you never gave the order to man it.

F5 toggles man/secure gun. Telling the watch officer to man it and using F5 to secure should work, might be a bit flaky though. As far as I know, morale doesn't come into it; always been able to use it at will. :hmmm:

Nah, i mean Depth under keel. You know where to find that?

[Arclight]

It ain't there, you can use the keyconfig mod to enable a key-combo. ;)

what are the little iron crosses in the top left corner of the map?

Also how do I get missions from the briefing view before I leave the subpen? SO far im only on patrol 2 and haven't received any missions.

I cant manualy handle the hydrophone, I can sit down at the hydrophone station and when i mouse over the direction handler, Information display and the volume they get highlited. but i dont get to turn the direction handler. Im at the first mission were u need to sink 3 polish merchants. I have tried it when beeing surfaced and when in periscope depth but still dont get to turn the direction handler. Please help, thanks in advance.

On the map there are symbols, little round ones with a cross. Click one and it expands, giving a small description and the option to request a mission.

Every one of those objectives has a 'value'; sinking 50K on the east-coast scores you 1, sinking 100K on the western aproaches scores you 3, and you got 1 for completing the tutorial (Invasion of Poland). Basically at the top-left on the map is your total score.

Hello again, how can i set my depth to like 63 meters manualy?

Press and hold the left ctrl key the 'depth' display will change on the lower left to an analog depth gauge just click on the desired depth.

Although hitting a precise depth might be a little tricky you can get within 5 meters or so. :salute:

Or order a dive and when you approach the desired depth Shft+F is hold current depth. ;)

Here are my small questions...

Where is the compass?

How do I man the flak gun?

[Dizzy_Bob]

Thanx for the tip Steamwake :up:

Cant help you with the compass :cry:

The flak gun and deck gun i have managed to man sometimes with th F5 and F6 but the crew did not fire at the targets when they were close.
However you can man them yourself and fire them manualy by walking down to them and click the gun, but i guess you know this yourself.

[Arclight]

Point at a target using your binocs and press 'space' to designate target. ;)

Manning the flak- and deckgun requires 1 morale point from your watch officer, doesn't work if that's lacking.
