Well done. Welcome aboard.

:salute: Welcome aboard.
Just wait and see you will be addicted to the game.

Can someone give me a quick walkthrough of what a patrol entails? It's been a while since I played; and that was on SH4.

I seem to remember that you get orders to go to a place. You go there, radio in, and start patrolling. When you run low on fuel or torpedoes, you go home and dock.


But I know SH3 had some crew management system. Like you have to pick out crew-members before you leave and rotate them manually every so often.


Finally, what are the must-have mods for an otherwise stock game?

Sink them all. :salute:

Welcome Kaleun :DL

Congratulations, captain, you are now a veteran! :)

Maybe a bit more detail?

SH3Commander you should have.
it adds some features I don't want to miss any more.
among them the "no crew fatigue"-setting.

as for mods, please look here:

Thanks. I installed SH3Commander. Version 3.2 I think. Whatever the uber version was labeled.

I set up some basic options that I thought would be good and rolled a career. Once in there, I set up some realism options just to get things about right. Maybe 59% I think. I left on the auto TDC and the weapons officer. I'll get rid of those later.

I'm about half way to AN56 in a IIA. No contacts so far, but it's early. I plotted a course out at 10kts and made sure I had fuel to get home. Then, I cranked down to 8kts to give me more loiter time in AN56. Now I have time to read the keyboard shortcuts and the rest of the *sparse* manual.


Silly question: In my office, I saw that I had one PO slot and maybe 4 crew member slots open. Should I have filled those? If so, with who/what?

Welcome to the pack.
It wont be long before you are asking about all the super mods and add ons to the game :D
Prepare for the end of your present life as you know it,welcome to the 1940s.

you might, but there's no use for if IIRC.
I just fill up all the important compartments and put 5crew-men into the maintenance+repair. that usually is enough when adding an officer there to.

Finished my first patrol. 8200 tons; 3 ships sank.

nice job!

are you playing on GWX though? if so, maybe the war hasnt even started yet :oops:

Only mod at the moment is SH3Commander. I have downloaded GWX, but have not installed it. I want to get a feel for the stock game first.

Also, I'm only on 65% realism. I'm still letting my officers aim the fish for me. I just want to work on intercepts and fuel management for a while.
