Hi there,

How comes, i can see my radar warning system from pritty much the first day inside the edge of the sail. But i cant use it.

Its the round thing on top of a pole. In the SS section i see lots of them extracted.

i always thought that was a floation device for if people went overboard? XD


can someone recommend a mod for editing what engines i'm using? (like if i want to use 1 desiel and 2 electric )

thank you for your kind words. i am very new to this forum stuff. please bear with me. i am "technically challenged".
i use green and blue screen techniques with sony vegas.
this is what i and my son do for fun between spelling homework and episodes of sponge bob square pants. big chuckle.
there is more to follow. it is a very time consuming artform but i will post progress along the way on video thread. thank you for pointing that out to me.
you have a great day sir. thanks again. cheers. ian.

That is a GREAT video. :salute:

Cant wait for more, absolutely awesome clip! :yeah:

Love it! :rock:

I work in the visual effects business and I can say that looked pretty nice! :yeah:

Does a bigger sail, with bigger AA slow down the boot while submerged? Does it have a range underwater panalty?

how do i tell how deep i want to set my torpedo for an under keel shot?

Nope.

You can set the torpedo depth under the torpedo tube selection panel after your target is locked in identified. There is a vertical slider for adjusting the desired depth.

i knew this, but i ment, how do i tell how low in the water the ship rides? =/, setting a depth doesn't really do anything if i don't know how deep to set it D:
i.e. is this ship 3 meters under the water? 6 meters under the water?

When you have identified your target, a keel profile will appear in the depth settings display, showing you graphically how deep to set it. For a magnetic shot, you'd want to set it around 1 m below the keel, for a contact shot, anywhere between 2-5 meters is normally okay.

I usually try to hit the first torpedo in the aft to knock out the propulsion, or under the keel midships to try to knock it out in one blow :)

Welcome to SUBSIM Walle :yep::up:

Welcome

Nice intro Walle :up:
Look forward to more of your posts here at SUBSIM.

oh.. this only works with tdc on i guess?

in the description of the manual it says i can send status reports, ship locations, and requests for escort into harbour to the bdu.
i know how to send status reports, but how do i send a ship location?

Any possibility to choose between torps when reloading a tube?
 

Can I choose what eel I can load in each tube? Or, to put it another way, can I turn off the torpedo autoloading?
I found that it is possible to unload a tube, but as soon as the torp is unloaded, the AI automatically starts reloading it with the same torp, so I cannot choose white type of eel (steam or electric) I want to load.

Edit
Nevermind. Found the Autoloading tab myself.

Noobie questions roll left/right, gear up/down, search patterns
 

Hello everyone, just a few noobie questions. What does roll left/right do? (q/e on keyboard) What does gear up/down do? (up arrow/down arrow) Are search patterns available without a mod, if so, how? I looked through all the threads here, couldn't find these. This is an awesome site for silent hunter help/mods......... Thanks in advance.

If you want to see wat command are executed when pres a key on the keyboard then when you are in the game pres ,,F1,,. After that if you are pres pressing ,,left shift,, you will have more commands key displayed.


I think up and down arrow (gear up/down) it is changing the spead of your sub.
