I haven’t been playing SHIII long, but I don’t like that I can’t use the deck gun in rough seas or at night. When I go after warships, I like to be able to send them a few salvos to get their attention, then dive and give them a torpedo in the bow. So, why should I be penalized because a few German rust pickers were afraid to get wet?
I disabled this limitation so that the deck gun could be used anytime, as long as you still had ammo.
Here’s how to do it:
1. Go to the directory in which you are storing your files.
2. Select ‘data,’ then ‘submarine.’
3. You will see a list of the subdirectories for each model of sub.
4. Pick the subdirectory for the model you are using. If you want to modify all the subs, you are going to have to do each one individually.
5. You can use any text editor for this procedure. I used notepad because it was convenient.
6. Open the folder and look for [Properties].
7. The last line should look like this:
StormConditions=7,0.1;max wind speed [m/s], max rain intensity [0,1]
Note: Anything after the semicolon (;) are comments, and not part of the program. Any time I change a line of code, I write my own comments, usually stating the original settings, so I can change it back without re-loading the entire program.
8. Change this line to:
StormConditions=99,1.0; CHANGED original values were 7,0.1
10. Save the file, do a soft boot, and re-start SHIII.
That’s all there is to it.
