New to Silent hunter 3 and got a Question.
 

Ive started a career and its now late 1940 and I still havent run into a convoy I only seem to find single ships or single destroyers etc.

Havent seen a real warship (Battleship,cruiser,Carrier etc) yet.

Is this normal?

1.4 patched by the way.

I have been playing it for more than a year and havent seen a single 'real' warship. Had a report of one, but never saw it. As for convoys, it can take a while, but stick to hunting near the convoy routes. What kind of U-boat are you using?

It depends on where you're patrolling. If you're in a Type II and are patrolling off of the British East coast then you won't see a convoy. Thats single shipping areas. The convoys are in the Western Approaches and thats a type VII and IX kinda job.

Im in a Type VIIB.

Try positioning yourself in the upper right hand corner of BE39. At this point, you'll catch ships coming from Halifax and the U.S., as well as ships coming out of the British Isles. I usually hit a good number of convoys coming out there. As far as task forces, try off the coast in AM. They usually come in and out near Loch Ewe and Firth of Clyde areas.
:lurk:

Bingo.

Feuer Frei!

Have a look here :up:

I'm currently off southern Portugal, fairly close (but not too close ;)) to the entrance to the Med. It's July 1940 and there are lots of convoys with large merchants and large tankers (rubs hands). They do however have quite strong escorts...

As for BBs etc. the Revenge I sank earlier in this career was in the middle of a convoy in the Western Approaches. Also got a Fiji cruiser inside Loch Ewe. Have also seen but not attacked Task Forces in the North Sea.

This is all with GWX not stock.

Get GWX if you want to see all harbours and the High Seas filled with ships. :arrgh!:

Amen to that.............:up:

Thanks Kaleuns.

Yeah I asked this because it got boreing after a while engageing single merchant ships its pretty much just ahead flank man the deck gun and profit.


I was gonna get GWX but i got a question first, will it run on a no cd cracked version of the game (no no I own the game just i no cd all games that I dont plan on playing multiplayer on so I can lend the game to friends if they want to play)

Methinks though art risking a rebuke! Such talk is frowned upon here. Not my rules, just the way it is!

So even though I own a retail boxed copy of the game...a No cd crack is still a problem?


but can someone please awnser my GWX question.

I cannot answer it as we're not allowed to talk about these stuff.

You know just by saying that you might get this thread closed, and yourself banned?

Subsim does not condone the use of any form of software pirating.

Now do us a favour, don't mention no-cd anythings again.;)

Moderators, try and let this slide unless theres another comment. 'tis a good thread.:p

Oh hells yea! I've had the same problem, but I fixed it by sneaking into ports (I hit Dover last) Thanks a ton!

That's not entirerly accurate, of coourse it may depend on what mod your using at the time. However War Ace Campaign has a new convoy system and I've seen some convoy activity of the British east coast.

Im sorry guys...just to clear things up I did not pirate the game.

and I put the non cracked files back in and installed GWX works like charm thanks.
