SH4 "crew management" was built the way it was because of the complaints that the devs received about the SH3 way of doing "crew management", that it was taking up too much player time on the submarine. Usually, one of the senior officers would take care of the crew rotation, and the skipper was left to figuring where they would go, and how they would do it. The shortcoming of the SH4 way is that you have to have positions "manned", or else they do not function. On a Type II, you only need one fellow for the AA gun initially, and really, you would be firing and re-loading the bow and aft torpedo tubes...


You are welcome. It is still difficult to find the traffic by sight. I just did that 96 hours off Estonia, and I had to go below torpedo depth and use the sonar to find anything, and even with that, I still couldn't catch anything... the Type II just doesn't have the legs to carry it very fast... :arrgh!: - After completing my assignment, I went to another area just a pinch north of there, and sat in the traffic lanes - almost taking out some neutrals by accident! One must keep up with those radio messages to find out who is on first base... :roll: :salute:

Most important is engine room...you don’t need watch deck going nowhere! :D
They are all important, just torpedo room guys are not active until you launch something, but they could « virtually » doing other tasks in the meantime.
Perso i almost never enlist new guys for deck gun or AA guns, i pick up torpedo guys for this task when needed. They usually have plenty skill ability for guns.

Fifi, I have new intro in the making. Estimate time of arrival is 30 minutes :Kaleun_Cheers:

Thanks mate! Will test tomorrow :up:

Hey Fifi, I've noticed a bug in the AO map of the Type II C and fixed it. Could send it to you if you want :)

Welcome aboard!
 

Of course, send it to me you’re welcome :up:
On what part was the bug?

yeah i dont know how to sent the .dat file but basically the AO on the screws was somehow messed up looked really spotty, so i importet the Ao map of the Type 2b where it works to use as the AO map of the type2 cs screws. Its by no means "good code" but i mean it works.

long term id suggest just vcreating a new AO map for the thing but idk how i would do that....:Kaleun_Salute:

Could you provide a screen shot of what you mean please?

Just open the game and play the type 2 subs with the kort nozzles you'll spot it yourself. Furthermore I've made progress in implementating the updated Torpedo textures I've found out why it bugs out...I'll keep you posted when I've got updates :)

Don’t understand...it’s Chinese to me...is it English?

Don’t you know how to take a screen shot, and post it here to show me exactly what you said?

Now that I'm in a position to start playing again, I'm re-installing SH3 first, and getting it set up the way I used to have it. Once that's done I plan to start new careers in SH4 as well. I used to play Operation Monsun, but this time I'll be playing Dark Waters. I've been watching its growth and really looking forward to playing it. You've put so much work into it, and it's starting to look like what I've always believed SH4 could be.

Thank you Steve!
DW is fully playable and enjoyable even though you can’t change U-Boat type as you want yet (as in SH3).
This is due to the fact SH4 is build other way than SH3 unfortunately.
But you always can have few careers with more than one type to avoid the boring time...

I send you a PM :up:
