Another update. I just sunk my first ship playing at full realism in a new campaign with the Grey Wolves mod. Most excellent. I identified the ship, tracked it, intercepted it, identified the nation (I had to be super close for this), calculated a firing solution, fired a single torpedo which hit, and then finished the job with the deck gun!
A few new questions:
A radio message bearing "SSS" is an "SOS", right?
How do I know the best places to hit a ship? Is there a guide that tells me where different components reside on different ships?
Is there a reason why I'd want slow or medium speed torpedoes instead of fast other than to time multiple shots on multiple targets? For a single target would I just use the fastest speed? Does this cause more of a trail on the surface?
When I'm given a patrol what if I go sink a bunch of ships and then return without going to my patrol sector. Is that a problem?
Is there a faster way to identify a nation's flag without spending an hour tracking the ship only to learn after all that time that it's a friendly ship?
I tried the resolution mod, it messed up the mouse screen edge barrier on the right and bottom of the screen. Was there any fix for this? I never found one.
Thanks!
