Think good mod list for start.. But why 2° waterstrem? You want use type II uboat?
And my advice, install SH3 commander + GWX file fix for commander

GWX file for sh3commander

I will look into these, thank you. And yes, I do use the Type II when starting a new career, I usually choose the first flotilla in Kiel which starts you with a Type II.

I enjoy the challenge of it I think.

Sink 'em all!
for any problem you ask, here many people will know how to help you
:salute:

Hi Sugardust.

From your list are you actually running GWX? If so in the UZO and attack periscope screens, at the top left you should have a box that says "FLAGGEN" left click and drag this into the middle of the screen for a full list of nations flags and whether they are allied, axis or neutral (with dates).

Hope this helps.

RADAR trips and tricks?
 

I am at the end of February 1942 and I have radar now. Is it useful to detect both ships and aircraft? Does my enemy detect me any easier? What are the tips?

so radar is very useful. However, its waves the enemy is also able to detect. After tracking, it is good to mark the unit and turn off the radar. Use single scans.

Ok, so I decided to dust off my copy of SH3 again. Fresh install on my laptop, updated to 1.4.0.1. One of the first things to edit is, of course, time compression. I edit the main.cfg to read "maximum=2048" in the TC section. However, the game is still stuck on 1024 max. Now, SH3 Commander took care of this, no problem, but I'm still curious as to why it wasn't enough to simply edit main.cfg. :hmmm:

It needs to be edited in the game and the save folder too.

But if I use time compression it is not to complicate?

When preparing to attack from the middle of a convoy, would you pre-set your torpedoes to a specific depth to save time? If yes, which depth do you set all your torpedoes to?

I'm in 1941, and setting all my torpedoes to 7 meters deep seems like a good compromise, rather than micro-managing each individual torpedo to the target ship's draft.

Are you using Hsie's patch ?

Not yet. Just GWX.

I'm in the middle of a campaign so I wait until it is over before installing that patch.

Seven is pretty deep. But I'm going off of using Hsie's patch. Are you having luck at that depth ?
