right, thanks HW3 :D

papa-smurf - I'll swap ya, I have not had anything but failures in my patrols.
My very first one started with an almighty crunch as I steered my sub into the side of the quay. I have improved though. Now I get to my patrol area now without going the wrong way (did that twice), using up all my fuel or running aground in the Kiel canal.
The one and only merchant I have ever bagged outside of naval academy, I shouldn't have, so it didn't count. Patrol boats seem to sniff me out from 100 kilometers away (grr), planes pop up out of nowhere and drop nasty things on me ( but they all miss me, nah-nah-nahnah-nahhh) and at present I am obliged to risk drowning my watch crew when I come up for the battery as the sea is so rough...If ever you see me coming-go deep and stay there for 24. IF I ever get to the place where I can have an emblem on my tower, it needs to be a big red flag. :rotfl::rotfl:

You don't need it now, it's already included :yep: Don't forget the SH3 Commander cfg file though (if your using SH3 Commander that is) ;) :up:

OK got that. Ta.

Just been 'out there', sunk my second merchant ( since I have been playing the game outside of training that is), and whoopeed around, until I discovered it was a neutral ....AGAIN :damn: nffnbgnbrcklbngifluffengrmbretnschmmnnngrrrrr

Oh! SH3Commander? Wassat?

Before I have put the standard game on, plus the 1.4b patch (?) and then run GWX

Now, in this order, I need to put the standard game on, the 1.4b patch, something called 1.3 ( from where do I get this please?) and also SH3 Commander, and then GWX. Is that right?

I will put ANYthing on that might help me be a better player so I can do the game justice. I have a little read of the helps now and then, but only so much sticks..

Question though. When the radio message tells me there is a certain vessel at 45.29N and 09.45W ( for example), what am I supposed to do with that info?

You can follow the message, if you're near, or know where that is ;). Or sail on in your merry wee boat!;)

This isn't always a direct order! Feel free to say "Bugger, to far, that one!"

I don't know where it is because it is giving compass coordinates that I don't recognise. It isn't a bearing or grid reference, just long and lat. I guess I will have to get meself a little chart to work it out... :)

The message is an actual radio message from WWII and is there for atmosphere only.

The radio messages are for immersion only........the map updates are not though :arrgh!:

AAHHH!! :) thanks.:up:

anti poll bump

LMAO :rotfl:
