Old member returning question.
 

I left SH for a long time and went flight simming, I re-installed my SH3 from disk, I installed the GWX3 Full Mod plus the Grey Wolves.

I tried one of the single missions, I sank a Battleship and damaged another but had to dive for cover.
I got hounded by a few DD's they all left except for one who circled and dropped DC after DC, I was engines off and very deep, I took a bit of damage but still OK.
I waited it out for a long time, eventually it left so I surfaced, I on the surface for about 10 seconds and got sank by an aircraft, just my luck lol.

I know this is cheating but is there a super sub available for SH3 or a mod just till I get the hang of things again?

I noticed the diving and surfacing seemed to take a long time too, I'm sure it was quicker than that last time I used SH, or is that part of the GWX?

Welcome back home :ping:

Why not just tick the invulnerability box in options, just for the time you get the hang of things?

As for the surfacing/diving times, each mega mod such as GWX has its own values. You can always alter them, but might break other things...and not that easy to tweak.

OK thanks, I must have missed that, I was just on a mission now, found the convoy but got 3 DD's circling me, had to dive, I was getting damage from DC's and in the meantime the convoy was passing by grrr!

HA HA, thanks for the tip, I will have a look. :up:

Hey Col7777, glad to see you back around again. :Kaleun_Salute:
I was thinking about you and CB a week or so ago and the work done with SH2 and SH3. You guys were great to work with.

Did not mean to hijack this. Anyway, welcome back.:yeah:

Good hunting,

Ha Ha, hello again my friend, nice to see you too, I hope you are keeping well.

As you will have read I went on Flight sim, got in to paining aircraft liveries, plus messing about with AI, I still like to tweak the files lol.

I have other versions of SH in a box, some I wasn't too keen on to be honest, but it might be my age, I'm almost 74 now.

@Fifi,

When you say tick the invulnerability box in options, do you mean when going to select a mission there is Easy, Normal, etc, I went in Easy but the vulnerability box says it will make the sub easier to sink, if I read it right?

Or should I be looking somewhere else?

Col.

Just before launching career patrol, you have a box for realism, click it, and find vulnerability box (from memory on the left side column) :03:

Welcome back!
 

Sorry to be a pain but when I tick that box it says 'Damage taken by the submarine will be more severe.'

Col.

:hmmm: i thought SH3 had an invulnerability option for the sub...but i never used those options myself, always all boxes ticked (well almost) so I’m doubting now...
