Now...this happened right after I installed Additional Merchants v 2.0 , or Multiple Skin Ships ver 2.0.

This poor corvette was so high in the water that her propellor couldn't do it's job. It think it has something to do with the fact that now I also encounter tankers unloaded, which are very high on the water. In some strange way, this behaviour applies to warships also.

Reinstalling is probably your best bet.

And no, I don't think it's got to do with load. As far as I know, there's sadly no way to make loaded merchants, or for that matter warships, sit lower in the water. Maybe it's an anti-torpedo trick it's taught itself.

Yes there is a way to make ships appear loaded and empty but not implemented in any mod I know of
Odd behaviour your Corvette has there:o
As Safe keeper says uninstall your latest mods then try reinstalling

These mods do not change anything concerning the draught of the ships. What other mods are you using, in particular related to simulating the loaded, unloaded ships? Do you have any of big mod-compilations installed like NYGM, GW, UWAC, etc? Most of them have Additional Merchants v 2.0 included. GW also includes Multiple Skin Ships ver 2.0. However in GW's Readme they do not use original names of the mods included fully or in part in GW. This creates confusion for people trying to install my mods again on top of GW which may lead to collisions.

I'm using Grey Wolves, SH3 weather generator, and these mods that follow:

Another thing I noticed, is that my VIIC fully upgraded, doesn'y make 20 knots surfaced and 8 submerged anymore. The values have dropped to 18/7.

Well apart from the Wolfpack\Nationality and possibly the uboat reflections, all the rest are included in GW anyway IIRC

I noticed you havent added the lighthouse mod from Sergs site
But do you have lighthouses in your GW ?

Kruger,

Those mods you installed are all already included in GW except for the Wolfpack mod. Not sure about float planes though. That is what I said about the confusion.

I'm glad to hear that. I just recently posted that I had looked at the Anatomy of the Ship book on the Type VII U-Boat and ALL VII Bs and Cs came supercharged, and made 17.9 and 17.6 knots respectively. Only the original Type VII (there was no VIIa) had no superchargers, and they barely made 17 knots.

I'm glad somebody fixed that.

Well if they did it wasn't GW, my VIIb with the MAN engine upgrade could do 20kts in calm weather.

it floats like a blimp :o ... very difficult to use torpedoes. perhaps using the flak gun... :rotfl:

I see corvetes very low in the water but not the oposite :roll: a strange problem.

Hmm, can't comment as yet as I haven't come accross any flying Corvettes.

So, finally I became frustrated. I uninstalled everything...deleted everything. Back to SH3, patch 1.4, GW, Weather Generator and SH3 Commander. Hopefully all my problems will go away now.
