Hello, Kaleuns !

My first post since... 2005? (forgot my old nickname..)

First let me thank Neal for providing a way to install SH3 without starforce!
That one hold me back from reinstalling the game for a long time!

Now for my question

I was wondering how close I could get at night to a convoy while surfaced.
So I made this simple mission with the sole purpose of finding out how close I could get without being noticed by a DD (pre radar)... and if there was a significant difference between fully surfaced and 'decks awash'

To my surprise.. well please find out for yourself

I have uploaded the missions (German folder) for you to find out when you get spotted...

I run with GWX and to be complete in my 'survey' I ran it with full and blank campaign; standard GWX sensors and "no continues ship spotted" sensors.

Here are my test missions:

Please don't forget to make new folders with the same name as the missions.

I would really appreciate feedback on this!

Thanks!,

In the full moon mission the DD passes me at 100 meters.. and doesn't notice me (?)

A site to find out when there was a full moon in 1940 in this case:

Nicely done by the SH3 engine by the way (indeed full moon at that time!)

PPS

Not that a full moon seem to have any influence..
