Deck awash problem

[nazaka]

Hello everyone!!

I'm running a 100% realistic campaign. However, I would like to carry out my attacks at night as at the time of the Second World War:
_ deck awash
_ intercept the convoy
_ move into attack position
_ and finally launch my torpedoes

But i have a problem with my deck crew: they are present, but no longer help me to spot enemy ships.
My deck officier have the "nearest contact distance" button disable.

Can we change one parameter to solve this problem?

PS: sorry if my english is not perfect, i'm French :salute:

I don't know if this is the reason for your deck crew problems, but if you frequently ALT-TAB out of the game then their behavior will get faulty. If you want to change to desktop it's better to first save the game, ALT-TAB to desktop and then reload the game.

Else, I don't play at such a high realism so I don't know, but I know that the sonar man will not give you distances easily based on his listening.

I don't use ALT-TAB.
And it not the sonar man the problem (i don't have sonar at december 1939). It's the watch officer who have a problem with the deck awash...

What about your Deck awash setting? Go to TDW options and you can set it. Mine was preset at 7.5 meters.

[bstanko6]

Also do you use a speech recognition program. I do, I love it. But I had to set the decks awash to match the games preset depth. Just to make it work!

[nazaka]

i have change the TDW setting recently to 8.0m. But, even by default the problem is present.
And no, i don't use a speech recognition program. Maybe later :up:

[bstanko6]

Try 7.5. Or a little less. The crew on some versions stay on the deck underwater. Just a bug. If you are too deep you will be considered underwater, and the crew is considered unavailable. Set too shallow and you will as visible as on the surface. I use the speech recognition and i do not have issues.

Also with speech recognition, certain things are available that are considered not in use if you use 100% realism. For example, the xo does not identify ships, but when I use speech recognition it works! So maybe the speech will work for you. Good luck!
