Hey fellow kaleuns,

It's my 4th patrol on duty and I am enjoying this flawed piece of ****.

True it has the winners share of bugs of all the series, but I admire the fact that I'm wondering around the sub checking on and giving orders to the subordinates..

I've got a few questions about SH5:

1- I'm using UBI online saves and I'm at the 1st campaign in the 3rd task, which is the Northern belt embargo and the carrier mission.

I want to have your word on continuing to save online and the impact it may have on my record if the feature is deliberately switched off..

If I progress further, will I be able to update my leaderboard stats on a future date after I re-enable online save feature??

2- I notice some dials for torpedoes on the conning tower, they are not functional or they are??

Is there a file I have to ammend in order for them to work?? or a mod perhaps?

3- When does the good stuff like G7e, G7es and the like (gadgets) become available first during the campaign?

4- If I report a convoy that I didnot completely eliminate by radio, will other AI subs join the fight, or then, whats the purpose of reporting??

5- I notice the radioman has a radio, I'm still 1939, is it supposed to be A-scope type, or its not available until further date?

6- The radioman can call for resupplies?? There is an option but anyone who tried give me ur feedback please. 10 torps wont suffice one-timers like myself..

7- Is there like a recognition manual for the ships, with draft and mast values obtainable like the old SH4, instead of the Intel ® powered TDI that shows **** and only identifies by islands or bow shapes..


8- This sounds rediculous, but the crew gets injured on some of my surface attacks, some heal after a while, others need a home return, is there a way to substitute crew assigned to station??

If other questions arise from gameplaying or my vivid imagination I'll post on this thread, and this body, so please subscribe to my thread.

Thanks for your assist.

Personally I've turned it off. I don't like the idea of my saves being stored online, would much rather they are saved on my pooter. Turning it off speeds up the "save game sync". I have also heard of one member (can't remember who) he swears that he recieved someone elses save lol

If I progress further, will I be able to update my leaderboard stats on a future date after I re-enable online save feature??

Yes

2- I notice some dials for torpedoes on the conning tower, they are not functional or they are??

Not in the stock game - not sure if they've been modded in now

Is there a file I have to ammend in order for them to work?? or a mod perhaps?

See above

3- When does the good stuff like G7e, G7es and the like (gadgets) become available first during the campaign?

Not got far enough into the campaign - sorry

4- If I report a convoy that I didnot completely eliminate by radio, will other AI subs join the fight, or then, whats the purpose of reporting??

If there are any near. It also calls the Luftwaffe if they are in range

5- I notice the radioman has a radio, I'm still 1939, is it supposed to be A-scope type, or its not available until further date?

No idea

6- The radioman can call for resupplies?? There is an option but anyone who tried give me ur feedback please. 10 torps wont suffice one-timers like myself..

AFAIK - you can only resupply during "Operation Drumbeat" , back to the Fatherland for you my friend:DL

7- Is there like a recognition manual for the ships, with draft and mast values obtainable like the old SH4, instead of the Intel ® powered TDI that shows **** and only identifies by islands or bow shapes..

Check the mods section

8- This sounds rediculous, but the crew gets injured on some of my surface attacks, some heal after a while, others need a home return, is there a way to substitute crew assigned to station??

Not that I'm aware - maybe it'll be fixed
