New / Modified Command Keys
Starting with v400 there will be three different keyboard setups.
Stock + added commands
Stock + added commands + Multi-Key commands
SH3 stock mod to support SH4 + added commands
The Stock plus added commands is the default command keys when loading v300 and the other two are added on mods:
OM_MultiCmd_Keys (Stock + added commands + Multi-Key commands) and
OM_SH3_Command_Keys (SH3 stock + added commands). The following are the added commands to default key commands.
The “Enter” key no longer fire the torpedoes, you must now use the “fire button” on the periscope or on the attack map.
The “Enter” key now sets “time” to “normal (i.e. 1X)” if TC is being used
“Shift X” – toggles the snorkel
“Shift R” – Current Weather
“R” – depth under the keel
“;” (Semi-colon) – return to Navigators plotted course
CTRL F3 - Go to Attack 2D Map
CTRL B - Toggle Battle Stations
CTRL R - Maximum range at current speed
“Shift I” – Identify Target
-----------------------------------------
Stock + added commands + Multi-Key commands are the same as default v300 but with the following additions:
“Crash Dive” – set speed to flank, dive to assign crash depth, lower all periscopes, and lower snorkel.
“Periscope Depth” – dive to assign periscope depth, and set speed to “ahead standard”
“Surface” – return to surface, set speed to “ahead standard”, lower all periscopes, and lower snorkel.
“;” (Semi-colon) – return to Navigators plotted course and set speed to “ahead standard”
-----------------------------------------
SH3 stock mod to support SH4 + added commands
The command key set is the original from SH3with the following changes:
The “Enter” key now sets “time” to “normal (i.e. 1X)” if TC is being used
“Shift X” – toggles the snorkel
“Shift R” – Current Weather
“R” – depth under the keel
“;” (Semi-colon) – return to Navigators plotted course
CTRL B - Toggle Battle Stations
CTRL R - Maximum range at current speed
“Shift I” – Identify Target
A copy of the SH3 Keyboard layout (SH3_QRC_PG1.jpg /SH3_QRC_PG2.jpg) can be found in the under the main directory of SH4
========================================
New Command Icons
Control Room: Rise/Lower Snorkel/Radar
Nav Map: Search Pattern 1 / 2 / 3 and Max Range at current speed
Periscope: ID Target, Rise/Lower Snorkel/Radar
Bridge: Current Weather, ID Target , Report Nearest Visual Target
Deckgun: Target Nearest Warship, Target Nearest Merchant
Nav/Attack Maps
Smaller Stop Watch and Nav Tools
In this version the “speed” tails are gone, “ALL” the ships / aircraft are now color coded “gray/light black”, all ships (warships and merchants) & aircraft have a “square” ship. The user will now have to VID (Visual ID) “all” tracks before they can engage them. Of note the .dds line used for the hydrophone bearing line is also use for the torpedo track “Attack_2D_map”, in my version there is still enough of the line left to tell were the torpedo is still going. Last, I have included “metric” and “imperial” nomograph that can be used to generate a “speed” solution for the ship you’re tracking.
Addition changes include the removal of the “Ship Type” and “Speed information” from the contact display on the Nav/Attack Maps. Further more “Course information” is now a “numerical” value vice an N/S/E/W value.
These values are: N 000, 025, 045, 075, E 090, 120, 135, 160, S 180, 210, 225, 250, W270, 295, 315, 340
estimated speed reports from sensor operators are now a “numerical” value vice “Slow/ Medium/Fast”. These values are
DIW
Moving at 1 to 5 Kts
Moving at 5 to 10 Kts
Moving at 10 to 15 kts
moving at 15 kts plus
Contact ranges are now set to:
Short =3000 meters
Medium = 10000 meters
Long = 20000 meters
Contact sizes are now set to:
Single Contact Min Size=1
Small Contact Min Size=3
Medium Contact Min Size=7
Large Contact Min Size=13
Attack Periscope.
Uboat

OM Harder Escorts
OM_Harder_Escort_L1
OM_Harder_Escort_L2
OM_Harder_Escort is a mod to change the AI behavior of Convoy Escorts in OMv720. There are two versions, L1 and L2, with the only difference between the two is at L2 has modified escort hydrophones/sonar and L1 doesn’t. In both cases the escorts have become more “aggressive” and with each passing year of the war get harder and it should also be noted that L2 can be “very” difficult.
