Favorite Warship

[chanbasti]

Hi all,

I have recently started playing Chinese U-47's excellent warship mod, but I'm having trouble deciding on one particular ship to play a carer in. This is partly because all the ships are brilliantly made, but also partly because I don't want to make my life to easy and just use the Bismarck to OP everything I see. Can you drop a line here with your favorite warship and why you like it so i can get some help with my decision and finally finish a career.
Thanks kindly

Personally I like the Prinz Eugen, becouse it isn't too deadly, and it haven't got any bugs or mistakes. I like the Scharcnhorst too, but I don't play it very often becouse I hate that bug on the bridge, if you know what I mean. I use the destroyers too. So, if you are going to the high seas, I recommend the Prinz Eugen but if you are just going to sail in the north sea, use the destroyers. You could use the Leipzig cruiser, but she has problems with detecting enemy vessels and aircraft.

Ja. Prinz Eugen.
And she survived the war, only to be used as a test platform for atomic bombs.

ja. i started messing with the leipzig and that was just sad. i almost ran over a granville type before i got the message. I'm rather fond of the Deutschland class just for it's epic range. whats the bug on scharnhorst all about? i haven't noticed anything yet.

lol:rotfl2:
Well it beats getting torpedoed or broken up

[pickinthebanjo]

ok I downloaded the Prinz Eugen mod but don't know how to access it.
I entered the lines the read me told me to in the ship name files then enabled it with JSGME but I don't see it in the game as a ship I can select? If someone could tell me how to enable the ship for career use that would help.

Seeing as how this thread seems to be about warship mods, any mod that works for the career would be appreciated.

[chanbasti]

ok, well i assumed you enabled the WSM3.0piece of the mod by using JSGME. after you have done that. Close JSGME and then re-open it. You should now see three new mod options: GeI, GeII, GeIII. Enable the one of these that contains the ships you want to use in your career and then it should all work.

Ok I got it working but I don't quite understand. I tried a T34 destroyer and could not use either flak or guns, all I had were torpedoes. Is all this mod does is change the appearence? Do any of the ships have guns that work?:hmmm:

Also tried the Bismark with no success, Had to ram them

[chanbasti]

the main and flak guns are coded as the old main and flak guns if the sub, so to use all your guns you need to send the crew to gunnery stations. once that is done you are in command of a devastating vessel. i sank over 140000 tons on one patrol, sadly then my game crashed and i got no credit :(

[pickinthebanjo]

ok I think I might have a bug or something then, I will try again and take pics.
I did try to man them like I would in a sub, but there were no guns to man.
Big round flat areas where the guns would sit but no guns lol

[chanbasti]

ok, well then you're probably missing some files from the mod. try redownloading it and then install according to the readme in the mod.

[maillemaker]

What is this mod you guys are speaking of? It lets you drive surface ships in SH3?

I want to take a German battleship out and kick some ass!

[pickinthebanjo]

WSM3 for GWX3

[Davy_Jones]

I have 3 Favorites

1.DKM Deutschland
2.DKM Scharnhorst
3.DKM Bismark

because i use the WSM3 and those are the ship that i can have the confident
to raid any port and get away whit it

[pickinthebanjo]

Still can't get the guns going, I've noticed they are destroyed at the start of every load so they are there. I'm gonna try some screwin around and maybe I can fix it

[chanbasti]

Wow...ok. not sure what to tell you except that I hope you get them to work.
Good luck!

[pickinthebanjo]

Got them going now, can't really explain what the problem was (?) but they work.

What a great mod.
