decompressing & installing Grey Wolves mod
 

Thanks for all your help. I managed to re-download the complete set. My files 2 and 4 were short measure. It took two attempts each before I got complete files.

I installed the mod over a fresh install of SHIII & 1.4b. No problems. I've tried it once. It works. I'm not so good, found a convoy and was bounced by a Black Swan. It sunk me.

Two minor questions - unrelated.

1 - when were Black Swan frigates first commissioned? I thought Frigates (as a better corvette) were later in the war. I'm in Sept 1940 and they are as common as fleas!

2 - anybody been got by a 'ghost' destroyer? On at least 6 occasions, I have been attacked by a surface warship but NO sound contact. I can hear the ship running over me and the crew keep telling me 'We're being pinged', but sonar keep reporting 'no sound contact'.

Maybe I'm being picky but I don't like being sunk by a vessel I can't hear or see, especially as it don't give up. It gets me every time. And the depth charge attacks go on for ever.

Re: decompressing & installing Grey Wolves mod
 

If you have the scope raised, and the ship is in visual range, the sonar operator reports the 'no sound contact', apparently the game AI gives preference to the visual sensors, and discards the other data, it's one of the more annoying (for me) bugs of sh3.

No, it happens when I'm deep as well as periscope depth (with it lowered).

It often happens after a 'real' depth charge attack, after the warships give up and leave (sonar reporting near, medium, long range contact then 'no contact').

But I'm sure I've been 'jumped' out of the blue as well.


What hurts, is thay don't give up and without sonar info, I can't dodge!
