External torpedoe usage?
 
Hi everyone, I have a question that I am unable to find a answer for. My external torpedoes, how do I access them? I ran out of torpedoes and noticed that I still have one external fore and aft, but am unable to gain usage of them.

You must surface the boat. Then you drag the torpedo from the storage to internal storage using your mouse. It takes a long time to transfer and you're supposed to remain surfaced for the whole time (but I've seen a glitch where sometimes you can submerge).

And thats pretty much all there is to it.

Control diving detph via Strg/Control and raise against the bug(manuel divinf)
 
To control depth manualy or better hold a depth in deep water you have to put strg/contr and select 0 m(or feet dont know i play german version).Now your boat should hold the depth best it can do it i think.In may oppinion all other fixes (surfacing,go to periscope depth)are useless.Now you can move in silent mode without sinking :D.I play with A.I. difficult mod and the destroyers drive instantly to your position when you drive higher than 1 in other words you never could get them off.Glad i found that out by trying after only 30min.
Hope this is a help for them who dont now this.For me that bug was the frustradingst one because this makes the game realy unplayable.So frustrading that it forces me to post a reply :D.
P.S. If this tip exists allready than hey another chance to find out how to control the "without mods nearly uncontrolable beast called silent hunter 5" for unlucky unknowing like me.

When going to the sound mods available on this sight, is there anything special I have to do to download it, or does it automatically attach itself to the sound folder in the game and work? THANKS:timeout:

All mods come in a zipped folder. You have to use a program such as http://www.7zip.com/ to open that folder. You can then move the Data folder inside into your SH5 folder and overwrite the existing one when it asks. Better is to use JSGME http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=3559 to install mods. That way you can tell if it might interfere with other mods and if you end up not liking it you can easily remove it again.

Hi, just did this one, it's a matter of being right one the camera icon and looking through the scope and finding the single object that needs photographing, then click, done.

British supplies
 
As i am quite new to silent hunter, i am going through career, in the campaign, total germany, where you have to sink 100.000 tons of shipping South of ireland, do you have to go All the Way back to Bremen to resupply? I cant get resupplied at sea because the request is denied? Any experiences on this? :)

Welcome aboard SFSchmidt!

Resupply is available in the Operation Drumbeat campaign of the stock and also in the Monsun Gruppe campaign of the Open Horizons II..

Thanks.
 
Okay thanks, so frankly i need to get to the closest german occupied port to resupply and refit, as it is my understanding that it is not possible in neutral ports, is this correct? :)

I appreciate your help. :)

Resupply you can get in any German port but refit only in your base port..

Help Please
 
Hey, just got this game and trying to do the tutorial campaign.

????

The time compression it wants me to go to is 1024.......

I can only set it as high as 32.....

and its saying that I have not completed that part??? LOST???

Hey guys. I am waiting for the OHII v2 to ocme out, and untill then I am brushing up on some knowledge.

One tactic eludes me. In the movie Das Boot (I am sure almost everyone has watched it ;) ) there is a scene where the boat performs a surface attack in the fog. The boat is speeding towards the convoy, the convoy is moving, and they fire torpedos and HIT. So my question is......has anyone tried this in sh5?? With manual targeting and full realism ofcourse??

My other question is. I have been watching stoianm1 tutorials. Stoianm always takes one reading and gets everything right. As far as I can see he eyeballs the stadimeter, but still gets right measurements. When I calculate, I have to make adjustmets a lot of the time, if I don't, ,my eels miss. Now I am not a noob and I have sunk my fair share of ships.

My point is.....does anyone else have the feeling his instruments aren't working quite so right??
The same thing is with the 4 bearings method. I posted a thread about this a while back, but no matter what I do........no matter....I always get the 4th bearing wrong. It's not my fault I do everything in the video......the target is sometimes 3000 meters away. Good course but not good distance.

If you goto your nav map - you can set TC higher than 32.
32 is the limit when in 3d mode:up:

Welcome to subsim btw:salute:

He practiced many times im sure:O:

If you have time - take many readings and fire one or two torps.
If you have no time - take one reading and fire a full salvo:up:
