Thank you so much :salute:

My first unofficial "official" SH3 screenshot: after reinstall of game/GW3/etc., I'm redoing all the Academy exams to see if I can still get a decent passing grade with all the mods installed, lol. Navigation was still a snap and I was having so much fun that after I surfaced I just kept sailing and then turned west as the sun went down.

Be glad that I do not have screenshots of the umpteen hundred flak gunners I have lost so far this evening trying to pass the Flak Artillery exam. :dead: :dead: :dead: :dead: :dead: and so on and so on...

Lol. yea, so mutch for it just being an exam of you and yer flak gun... lol:rotfl2:
Live fire training... never works.

Truly annoying is the fact that a couple months ago, when all I had was the stock game, I got an "excellent" on this exam after a couple of training rounds just by having the WO order men to the gun and then telling them to fire at will at any incoming targets. I completed the primary objective and then finished off all the remaining planes without much difficulty. Or, I should say, my gunner did. I just stood there and watched. Rank does have its little privileges. :O:

Now I do the same thing to start and after about 5 seconds someone is yelling "Mein Gott" and my gunner is dead.

I've even tried just setting up camp in the Crew/Damage Management screen or whatever it's called, just to have a headstart on not, you know, losing my entire boat.

Once I actually managed to down the requisite five planes to complete the primary objective, but of course that was on a training run and didn't count.

Boy oh boy I bet the torpedo exam is gonna be FUN! I hadn't managed to pass that one yet *before* I reinstalled with GWX3.

Oh and in my head I am now hearing "Meeee... and my flaaaaak gun" to the tune of "Me and my shadow." So, you know, thanks for that. :O:

Hey laaaady (sorry, couldn't resist).

Great first shot! You do know that with Num Lock+Numpad Del you can remove those annoying order bars from the screen?

As for the Flak training, with GWX you get the full 1500 renown for passing just the Navigation Training.

It also gives you a good indication as to how hard the planes have been made in GWX. This gives you a sense that they are actually dangerous and you should dive in preference to fighting it out on the surface when they turn up.

Finally S-Boot Mod 2.0 is out! First impressions:

Does this mean I hit those two keys together while playing, and the stuff disappears, then I take the screenshot? If so, how do I get the order bars back afterward?

Well, that's awesome, thanks. I was only going through the Academy again to get renown anyway, especially with the flak gun exam since extra training there seemed kinda pointless. 'Cause as TarJak said, I was already assuming that the heightened realism in GWX was probably going to make any encounter with enemy planes really, really unpleasant, even early in the war, which was indeed obvious once I tried it in the Academy. In game play just like it was in RL it seems like the only sensible thing is to dive and get the heck out of there if you can.

It means you hit the Del key on the number pad of your keyboard which will only be active if you have NumLock engaged.

:yep:

:yep:

I guess my use of the '+' sign did make it sound like you had to hit them together. Sorry about that. As long as NumLock is on the Del key will turn the HUD on and off.

Rohr Eins... Los !
