Re: Is SHIII boring you.
 

yes, I agree sh3 is a great game but its has too much graphics and not enough good solid stratgey. I play sh1/2 more. I feel that too much time is spent on the water graphics and other things. In a real stiuation most of the time is spent at stations. NOT Looking at the sights. SH2 and SH1 were all about manning stations and doing what your supposed to do command a platformt. I love sh 3 though just feel that graphics arent everything there cracked up to be. (but I stil play CAOD so I guess im old-fashoned) No offience to sh3 though I stll bring it out sometimes.

Re: Is SHIII boring you.
 

ridgewayranger you may want to try Dangrous Waters its a new sim post ww2 but for me it has that bite I got well playing sh2 for the firt time and it lets you command 7 plaforms (e.g sub(nuclear and diesel),plane,helicopter,FFG,

ummm, yes it can be quite boring when you are in 'career' mode..

I was discussing this very thing just today with a former u-boot officer and he stated that there was certainly a lot of time when on patrols when you had to fill in time just doing maintenance stuff..

Maybe that's why UBISOFT introduced the crew fatigue thingy - it's realism after all!

Best to get your SHIII fix by playing missions only if you can't hack the 'boring bits :lol:

Try 'ENIGMA RISING TIDE' (schnell-boot) if you want a (low-cost yet exciting) 'fill-in' game to get you by the hump!

:up:

2048 tc?
how can i mod the time compression?

Thanks Steve. Now that you mention it, I seem to recall you saying how you pointed the installer to a temp directory and went from there. I'll check it out ;)

under my docs\sh3\data\cfg\main.cfg under [time compression] change the maximum to 2048 ;)

Whaaaat? :huh:
Who is this u-boot officer? What boat did he serve on? Is he palying SH3? Does he find it realistic? Does he enjoy it?
Give us more information!

eum i did that, and it dosnt work for me. :-?

Anypne notice "ridgewayranger" has not answered in the thread he started. :hmm: We've been hooked, gutted and fried guys. :rotfl:

You might also have to change it in the main.cfg file in the game folder. I think I changed it there but forgot the My Documents part, but it works for me now. I've got it set to 4096, though I rarely set it that fast.

Joea questions my lack of reply. I didn't know I had to. I gave an opinion which sparked others which I find very interesting, we all have our opinions.Are we supposed to keep them to ourselves if they disagree with the majority? My point was that I felt ripped off after swallowing all the advance publicity and ballyhoo. As the skipper of the boat I should not have to tell officers where they should be when certain events are taking place. No ship would leave harbour without a watch officer on the bridge, or after surfacing. As senior torpedo rating on board I can assure everyone that torpedoes got reloaded very quickly without the presence of an officer (they usually got in the way)! Every member of the crew knew where he had to be at a given time or event. All this moving of men around the boat is ridiculous. As I told East, i have started leaving the patrol area and looking for trouble, it's usually nearby,but the boredom of getting there still exists. :arrgh!:

Surely ridgewayranger, was going to know that SHIII is not all about leaving port and finding numerous ships straight away, although is possible. SHIII is not boring what i found boring was SH1 and SH2 even though i play SH2 right up till SH3 came out. The mods for SH2 prolonged the game. Maybe try mods for SH3, such as the RUB mod. While on my 4th patrol in a VIIB my patrol was to reach Grid BF18. i got there then patroled for like 5minutes and my lookout crew spotted a convoy, the destroyers kept to down for 3hrs before i got to let lose some torps. Sunk 2 cargo ships and left the scene cos it got to hot. 20minutes later realtime, i spot another convoy! so do the same this time i managed to get pass the destroyer screen without being detected and had the convoy all to myself so to speak. Sunk 3 ships then left. by this time im heading home i go round the long way back to kiel, i pass Scapa Flow area only to spot ANOTHER CONVOY!!! holy crap this is a good patrol i tell myself, i have two torps left, shall i risk it? bloody hell yeah, i head in and sink one tanker then slip away back to kiel!
On my fourth patrol i manage to engage 3 convoys! i only wish i had unlimited torps! :-) But this game is no where as boring as SH1 and 2, and whether its normal to come across 3 convoys in one patrol or maybe the RUB mod enabled more convoys to show up? Boring? No Way.

If you did not like Sh1/2 Why did you bother with sh3. Without sh 1 and 2 sh3 would not of came out.

Because i read the preview the owner of this site wrote, so i went out and brought it. I wasn't going to buy SH3 before then. Does that answer your question? Anyways I did like Aces of the Deep, which IS THE REASON Sh3 is out. Not because of SH1 or 2. :rock:

Maybe I am not paying attention to my game but I can only go at 1024X speed when doing time compression....

1024x is the default maximum. Download this:

Start tweeksh3.exe and change "Maximum".
