NYGM Periscope Mod v1.1 (http://www.subsim.com/~subsim_mods/NYGM_Persicope_Mod_V1.1.7z) Some SH3 DVD has already Patch v1.4b, and so perhaps it is for you ... information can be seen far down the right side of your screen when you boot SH3, but a failure of the mission editor ...

well sirs go to the port of hartlepool. every time i have a patrol i go there. there is a c2 and a small merchant and a t2 tanker. :DL

[Gerald]

well sirs go to the port of hartlepool. every time i have a patrol i go there. there is a c2 and a small merchant and a t2 tanker. :DL Yes it is good ... but to catch prey varies from year to year, of course, another options below -39 and 40 is to visit BF and AM grid .. especially AM32 and AM54 can be recommended, :DL or go down to Gibraltar,which a lot of traffic coming from,:arrgh!:but there are plenty to choose from.

[U-57]

:o i have never messed with gabralter. thats where the convoy's in later years come from. i don't mess with those. last time i tried attacking a convoy i lost my boat:nope: lol

[Gerald]

You can wait a bit outside you do not have to go through the strait, but remain at a safe distance and observe traffic, :yep:

[U-57]

ah next time i go into combat i'll try that. btw has any one ever scored an aircraft carrier in combat?

[Gerald]

Yes,almost every time I run a mission,like BB,CL and lots of DD I like it, :DL

[U-57]

ah man. i was never able to get an aircraft carrier in combat. i have seen them. but never sank one. i got there airplanes though:haha:

[Gerald]

They travel fast, and with escort ... so you do in many cases, intercept them to reach a distance for your torpedoes and ensure that you are not discoverable by flight and DD, they patrolling pretty far from Aircraft Carrier....so watch up for them, :arrgh!:

[U-57]

what is DD? any way i think last time i was out it was grid BF17 that i seen one. but i also seen an escourt coming at me at 30 knots to. lol

[Gerald]

what is DD? any way i think last time i was out it was grid BF17 that i seen one. but i also seen an escourt coming at me at 30 knots to. lol DD is,Destroyer :yep:

[U-57]

oh ok. lol. well what i do to avoid those is dive to 150 meters and rig for silent running. they still depth charge me but it's not as bad as it would be at periscope depth. where i have acutly collided with the DD's befor. :yep:

[Gerald]

All depends on the situation but in some cases is 150 meters not enough, you can go deeper, but with a low rpm of the propeller,so long as your hull is OK!

[U-57]

yes i think it was 1945 on the game. that i seen a boat that could go to 180 meters. but my CE kept saying we're past crush depth. and the men in Command room was scared about it. :haha:

[U-57]

the deck gun is for ships. it can not attack airborne targets. only the flack guns can do that.

[Gerald]

Depends on the angle,to the target and distance of course.

[U-57]

exactly. but i have only been able to get airborne targets with the flack guns.

[Gerald]

exactly. but i have only been able to get airborne targets with the flack guns.Well, normally but apparently the airship is an exception.

[U-57]

lol in this case i would say yes. but useing the flack guns is really dangorus to the boat/crew. also i have found that it alerts every war ship in the ocean. lol. btw is there a way to dive deeper with out scareing the cre and the CE saying we're close to crush depth? i have the depth gause now that reads 400 meters but have not tried it out yet.

[Jimbuna]

the deck gun is for ships. it can not attack airborne targets. only the flack guns can do that.

Oh you'd be suprised...I once used the deck gun to shoot a fish out of a seagulls mouth :03:

If it's sticking into view from the edge of the frame it's probably the draggable chronometer. Click on the edge you can see and hold it while you drag it down where you can see all of it.

No need to read it all. There is a table of contents, so you can look up anything you want. Also there are plenty of us stupid enou...I mean willing to answer any and all questions. :D

[U-57]

im trying to figure out why it's takeing more torpedoes to get a kill now. and as to why the aircraft in training are shooting at me

[Sailor Steve]

It doesn't take more torpedoes, it just takes longer for the ships to sink. This is realistic, and having them blow up spectacularly upon being hit was not.

The Academy scenarios are harder. On the other hand you don't have to do them. GWX gives the full 1500 renown just for completing the Navigation course. Everything else is just practice now, which is why it's harder. :sunny:

[U-57]

oh ok. thank you sir. :salute:

oh ok. thank you sir. :salute: Make, Academy test with flak guns, and you get a surprise, :yep:

[U-57]

easy now men. i tried the flack training several times but lost my men and boat

[Sailor Steve]

I ignored it for years. Recently I tried it and beat it first time, then noticed I had it set for 'Practice' rather than 'Exam'. :damn:

Did it twice more. Survived both times, but didn't pass. :cry:

[U-57]

lol thats better then me. i can't get passed train or the exam:damn:

[Gerald]

It happened to me also, and probably others, but as Steve mentioned here, you will get 1500 without making it ..... last time I tried it, I had 9 percent left of the hull....and hard to get my nose over water, :doh:

[U-57]

oh ok

[Gerald]

When do you start your first mission?

[U-57]

hopefuly when i can complete the naval academy

[Gerald]

Yes...but forget the flak,the rest ya can handle :up:

[U-57]

true. but we may have to defend our selfs with it some day.

[redhell]

Welcome, myself :P

[Sailor Steve]

We used to tell people to do the Academy before loading GWX. :D

My suggestion would be to do the Deck Gun and Torpedo Classes and ignore the Flak class and even the Convoy Attack class. The lesson from the Flak class is that you should dive and not engage planes anyway. The Happy Times single mission is much better for convoy practice and much more satisfying as well. One word of caution though: In that scenario you usually have time to approach the convoy, but in GWX the lone escort spots you almost immediately.

[U-57]

one thing i did notice about the GWX3.0 mod is that i lost my 400 meter depth gauge. is it possible to go deeper with out the CE warning me about depth? cause i know at one point during the war i can get a boat that goes to 180 meters. but it scares the crew or something. cause they act funny down that deep.

[Gerald]

Try, and see what happens, the hull implodes in reality, here, other things happen...maybe ya be happy or disappointed, but start to go down to 250 meters...or more :|\\

[U-57]

lol i can't it ends the game when i try that.

[Gerald]

Ends? .... not for me anyway ... however, the crew can trace out some :arrgh!:

[U-57]

lol yeah it says game over due to pressure. i have gotten to 180 meters when i had the boat that could go that deep.

[Gerald]

What a boat do you use?

[U-57]

lol i don't remember which one it was now. i know it can go down to 180 meters:oops:

[Marinenachrichtendienst]

lol i don't remember which one it was now. i know it can go down to 180 meters:oops:



:har: loool...........thank god I'm not a crewmember on that U-Boat

[Gerald]

Perhaps IX series they can do more by 180 meters, I use only IXC or IXB just because they can handle the depth better, more fire power with deck guns, more eels ... and that they can travel long distances, they downside few, I think, okay they appear not as fast into the depths, certainly.

I was Wolverine! I had claws! I had to kill them all without being seen by anyone otherwise the alarm would go off and I'd be... well, not dead, because: Wolverine. But still. The game demanded it, I complied.






And perhaps also enjoyed it just a tiny bit too much.:shifty:

Have to now, can't risk popping them in present circumstances. They're adamantium, they'd go right through the hull. :haha:

LOL....Nice one :sunny:

[U-57]

kinda like me. i like to be a sniper and sneak up kinda close and shoot things. but guns are not as fun as torpedoes. but they leave a trail and give ya away:nope: LOL

[Jimbuna]

Sniper Elite would be a good game for you perhaps?

[U-57]

id like to try that one. none of the enamys i delt with have heads after im done for some reason? :har:

[Jimbuna]

The headshots are a bit graphic but this is footage from the PC game:

[U-57]

WOW. i wish i could get that. that looks neat as can be.

[Jimbuna]

I'm unaware what country you reside in but it should be available online or via a computer games retailer.

[U-57]

im in the united states sir. :salute:

[Jimbuna]

You get the idea though....do a search on Amazon.

[U-57]

oh ok cool. thank you. only trouble is i don't have a credit card. i used to have a debit card. but got rid of that. lol

[U-57]

lol ok. still thank you. do you get any rack time? it's 6:30 am for me. lol

[Jimbuna]

11:25 GMT here

[U-57]

oh ok. btw i got through 3 of the naval academy with out the gwx 3.0. what will this do to the campaigns though? cause i did notice that in the torpedo training that the ships kept going after getting hit.

[Jimbuna]

That is because damage is designed to represent flooding....but hitting an ammo bunker for exampe can create a huge explosion and rapid sinking on occasion.

[U-57]

oh ok. so if i enable the damage mod ting i found it won't be so hard to get a kill?

[frau kaleun]

oh ok. so if i enable the damage mod ting i found it won't be so hard to get a kill?

If you mean GWX Enhanced Damage Effects, that won't effect the damage models of the ships, only give you a bit more 'oomph' as far as graphics effects when they get hit. Won't make them sink faster, just... prettier. :D

[Gerald]

If I were in your shoes, explore, GWX little better, before taking on too much, "get some basic" first, :yep:

[U-57]

oh ok thanks jim and vendor.

[Jimbuna]

oh ok thanks jim and vendor.

Actually I'd be thanking fk for a definitive response...she has took over from where I left off over a year ago :sunny:

[U-57]

[frau kaleun]

And you're very welcome. :yep:

[U-57]

[Jimbuna]

[U-57]

[Jimbuna]

And you're very welcome. :yep:

LOL :DL

[U-57]

weeeel im on my first patrol. but i do like the harbors they have some life to them. but im just wondering about the tonnage? befor i got the gxw i was getting boats right and right. but after i seen the torpedo training i think my tonnage will be a whole lot less:nope:

[U-57]

im on my way to grid AO98. seen two british vesels and fired. claimed one waiting for the other to go down. but they are green on the map.

[Gerald]

Neutral ships .... so far,:yep:

[U-57]

so i should not have fired on them? but i seen the british flag. and confirmed it was british and fired:damn:

[Jimbuna]

GWX starts you in August by default unless you choose 1939 in the options.

Everything will be green at this moment in time and firing on a neutral means everything (including your own side) will consider you an enemy for the next 24 hours.

[U-57]

yes sir thats when i started. but it was british ships. so im good:rock:

[Jimbuna]

Not if it was in August 39...GWX will make deductions in your renown.

[U-57]

i started in august of 39 and i had 1500 renown.

[Jimbuna]

You will lose much of it when you return to base.

[U-57]

oh:wah:

[U-57]

but i have 6 british ships. i thought thats who we was fighting or do we have to wait till they say start shooting? i gained renown. not lost it sir.

[Jimbuna]

Hostilitied don't commence until September 3rd IIRC so sinking any neutral before that date will cost you renown deductions on your return to base.

Better to start in September, especially if your not using SH3 Commander.

[U-57]

oh ok. thank you fir the tip.

[Jimbuna]

No problem...your welcome.

[U-57]

i have jus downloaded sh3 commander 2.7 is \that what you all are useing?

[Jimbuna]

Yes....but if your going to use it with GWX you need the GWX CFG file.

http://www.gamefront.com/files/20864524/GWX3_SH3Commander_CFGFiles_exe

[U-57]

:) ok thanks i got it.

[frau kaleun]

The latest version is 3.2, which you can get here:

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads.php?do=file&id=2923

If you use Commander with GWX3 you will also need some special config files for that combination:

[U-57]

any body know what this message means sssss SSS.49.05N. 15.58W olive grove?

[Jimbuna]

It was the signal used by merchants to say they had sighted or were being attacked by a U-boat.

Some examples here:

[U-57]

:DL super. thank you sir. i also went back to port with 8,500 tons under me with the gxw. :rock:

[Gerald]

Congratulations, :yep:

[U-57]

thank you. :salute: had i gone to hartlepool i would have made more though. lol

[Jimbuna]

thank you. :salute: had i gone to hartlepool i would have made more though. lol

Keep away from there....that is my area of abode :DL

[U-57]

:haha: good one. but i have made about 20,000 tons there before. :DL another good place is methyr i think it's calld. they have shallow waters but they have great tonnage. i know some other places to.

[Jimbuna]

Try waiting approximately 250km west of Gibraltar and you'll come across a lot of convoy traffic.

[U-57]

lol i know. i seen a lto if those. but im a coward when it comes to those convoys. lots of tonnage? you bet. DEAD U-BOATS absolutley. :har: for me a enamy convoy=1 dead u-boat. lol

[Jimbuna]

BE MORE AGGRESSIVE!! http://www.psionguild.org/forums/images/smilies/wolfsmilies/pirate.gif

[U-57]

i am. lol just not with convoys because of the escourts.

[Jimbuna]

Yes, they have a nasty habit of fighting back :DL

[Tinkering]

If I see a warship I scamper away with tail between my legs :oops: They have caught me every time except the last time (mission 5) and I zigzagged forever to get away...pure luck. I have no decoys at this point...
