Even the volume was blocked. Then I saw that all internal indicators all over the place were damaged. I've run a fast check of all the systems and everything was "functional".

I can't continue my patrol being deaf and with the storm in the surface. I tried to explain it to my character that it's a just a bad luck. The equipment fails sometimes.

Is it normal?

The hull damage percentage is just not displayed. You do have that option if you use 'SH3 Commander'.

Don't save while submerged or near convoys or near harbors. That can always cause problems, though I'm not sure if that's your problem. If you have to stop under those conditions, then Pause and minimize to desktop.

I'm in a middle of a storm, the waves seem somewhat higher than in GW1.1. The boat is behaving differently (I've read the mind-blowing manual by the way. To say it all, I've printed it and had a hell of a good lecture at bed. Thanks again, gentlemen. ). It's really sweet how problematic a surface navigation is now during a storm. :)

Now the reason I'm going home with a mere single ship downed. The last time I was attacked by the RAF, I sustained damage.

Have you tried quitting the game and reloading the mission ?
Just found this on the workshop

I don't use SH3 Commander, nor any other mod. I wasn't in sight of any convoy but it's possibile I save while submerged...

Thank you.

p.s. ehm, yeah, I reloaded the game twice, but to no avail. I had to back to the port and start another patrol.

My first GWX experiencies

Hello everybody!
This is my very fisrt post in subsim forums, and is an honor to me post in this thread.

I've played subisms since i have 6 years old's (my father lessons, Silent service c64, etc). I cant find a word in english to describe my emotions (Im form ARGENTINA... sorry for the bad use of words:oops: )

Im just a fresh user of GWX (download yesterday), and here are a few questions about:

1) There is any way to bring back the orange circle that marks the sub position when submerged in free view (yes... i know, REALISM... but is nice sometimes watch for pleasure...)

2) Sometimes the speech of crewman is changed of language (im using Engilsh voices, then, sometimes, a german voice speaks)... do you have made change of voices ONLY on German's ogg vorbis files?

3) The new AI for Destroyes is very, very, very GOOD!:rock: What is the amount of time that is requiered for the DD's to listen again after a drop of Depth Charges?

4) Nothing more for now.... only: "MENS LIKE YOU, DESERVE A IRON CROSS FOR THIS JOB"... (im just :D with the new "sharp-fresh-uboat-like" controls!!!!!)

Happy Holidays for everyone!!!

Yes, IIRC you can copy the Umark.tga file from another installation and put it into GWX.

It is suggested that you use German Voices with English text. This is the most complete set and will give the best immersion. Besides, after awhile you will get to learn a bit of german.

This is one of the biggest changes in GWX and I think your right, it :rock:.

No worries. I totally agree with you.:yep:

Guys, only now I realized I've never been really good at this game. Now that it starts being played as it should.

I'm in a mess. I attacked a task force, sinking an Illustrious-class carrier (it's night, northern atlantic, 1939). By the way, I wet my pants when I saw it. The approaching, calculating e firing torpedoe and the following silent immersion were all heart-beating.

But now I'm the hunted. There are two destroyers above. I'm at 140 meters and can't shake those guys. I can fool their hydrophone, but once I think it's over and I'm safe they start to ping at me. And they find me. I cannot move in order to decrease the shadow, beacuse even at slower rate they hear me again. Yesterday I took 3 hours of beating. None depth charge really hit me, but it's always been close to do it.

Now those two are still above me. The situtaion didn't change and I really have no idea how to get out of it.

Any advice?

p.s. those bastards seem to collaborate. One is sitting behind me, listening, the other rushes towards me, drops the depth charges and then goes away. Then pings at the point where dropped them. What a ....ck! :)

Hi Koranis1979,

nice moment ah?! I suggest you read the post:Bloody hell, this guy won't give up!, started by Camaero (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=102449). That post contain very ussefull information.

Im reading post like that because something similar is hapening to me (pings, combintaned DD's movements, fear (my and my crew)...:huh: ).

May be, if you go Silent Runnig (if you not already are) and get far for at least 600m, then PD, then spend a torp, then prey, then Crash dive...

Good Luck commander, have nice waterhell

Have you got damage?

If not, goto 2kts and drop to 180 - 200 meters(or deeper). Once there drop to 1kt. This is the time when you need to use your hydrophone. If you hear a DD in an attack run you can raise your speed (for a short time) and make a course change. Allways try to stay in their baffles. Keep doing this and you will lose them.

I used this tactic last night when I had 3 DD's DCing me. I took minor damage and flooding but nothing to worry about. The key is not to panic and to keep a good track of whats around you.

FYI - Remember that if you press Z for silent running and you're running at 1kt it will increase your speed.(the amount of times I've done this:damn:)
