If you like SHO, you'll like SH 3, or SH4 better. :) |
Well, I managed to reach level 16 and the game I really like :)
But I am annoyed that I am constantly spotted by the mercantile ships in an absolutely incomprehensible mode :hmm2::hmm2: How can they see me submerged ???? :hmm2::hmm2: I understand that the game is in beta testing, but it is really annoying :/\\!! |

Lowering your scope so it is just breaking above the waves lowers the chances that you will be spotted. |

If you're running speed is too fast (especially at periscope depth), even if you're outside of the circles =
You'll get a "We've been spotted!" message - Additionally, don't forget about the airplanes - Ask me how I know... :up: EDIT ADDED / 04.11.2013: If you send a weather report once you enter the "mission area" = It will get intercepted and you will get "spotted" - Initially, you can run at 8m / "semi-surfaced" / That way you can close faster & dive quicker when needed - As I recall, I learned that from an old WWII sub movie / I just can't remember which one - Run about 15-20m deep to get REAL close - If there are no warships escorting the convoy, the convoy won't/shouldn't hear your screws turning... Plotting & situational awareness is VERY important @ this stage - I just completed a 2x recon mission - I had all but 2 ships ID'd / The ones I need to ID for the mission - Those 2 ships were on the opposite side from where I was = I had to maneuver to that side to ID them = I ran 15-20m deep, scope down (but pointing in the right direction) - I'd come to full stop & "prairie dogged" - Rinse & repeat as necessary - I'm not sure if I was in my A or B boat... I headed out of the area & set up for the Send Contact Report (as I surfaced to 8m) - Luckily for me I got the Mission Completed (primary + secondary) just before I got "spotted" coming up to send the CR - Back in the day... I use to practice (and got quite good at) head on bow shots on DS's - That one I got from the movie Run Silent, Run Deep = Clark Gable & Burt Lancaster VS Bungo Pete in the Bungo Straits... I did see an in game chat the other night that said this tactic doesn't work in SHO @ a distance of 500m - I think 700m was my majik number + the semi-surfaced running - Get target lock (or shoot from the hip... can't remember which) fire, down scope, crash dive, full flank & pull a hard turn... (as I recall...) - You only get one shot at this... But it could save your boat - I did a lot of elbow bending back then... :Kaleun_Party: So my memory is a bit foggy - Good luck out there! :Kaleun_Salute: I hope the developers add a "view lock" feature + pan buttons - I sent BB Support those suggestions w/screenshots |
