To use deck gun and/or flak guns in any weather, open the sub type.cfg file.

Scroll down to the line for Storm Conditions.

Change Storm Conditions=7,0.1; to =30,30.1 to allow use of deck gun in any weather conditions.




Example for VIIC:

c:/ProgramFiles(x86)/Ubisoft/SilentHunterIII/Data/Submarine/NSS_Uboat7b.cfg

default:
StormConditions=7,0.1;max wind speed [m/s], max rain intensity [0,1]

changed to:
StormConditions=30,30.1;max wind speed [m/s], max rain intensity [0,1]

SH3 screwed up the medals big time. In the first place, the u-boat (war) badge and the front clasp are reversed. The u-boat war badge was awarded after the 1st war patrol if a vessel was sunk or after the 2nd war patrol irregardless. The example below reduces the renown required from 500 to 5, resulting in a more realistic award. The Front Clasp did not even appear until 1944, so to make it unobtainable until then, the example below changes the tonnage required from 5000 to 500000. Change the tonange back to something between that required for the GCG and the KC in 1944 if you want it available.

The Iron Cross 2nd Class was given out commonly. The change below makes it easier to get. I changed the tonnages for the other medals to reflect the unusual ease of racking up big tonnage kills in SH3 vs. reality. Use my numbers or make up your own.


To adjust renown needed for medal awards, either use SH3 Commander (which allows you to give whatever whenever to whomever) or with stock SH3 or SH3+GWX:

Edit SilentHunterIII/Data/cfg/Basic.cfg

[MEDALS_CREW]
DecreaseFatigueMax=0.1
IncreaseMoraleMin=0.1
RenownStep=500; RENOWN, u-boat badge...............changed to 5
SunkInPatrol=5000; TONNAGE, front clasp................changed to 500,000 to eliminate this award
RenownStep2ndClass=20000; TONNAGE, IC 2nd..........changed to 10000
SunkInPatrol1stClass=30000; TONNAGE, IC 1st...........changed to 40000
SunkInPatrolGerman=40000; TONNAGE, GC.................changed to 80000
SunkInPatrolKnights=50000; TONNAGE, KC.................changed to 120000 for a type VII or 250000 for a type IX

Your Tonnage May Vary.........
