Seeing the number of crew and cargo held
While reading the forum, people sometimes are posting statistics about the ships they sunk, how many crew there were aboard and how many survived, some stating what kind of cargo was being carried
Is there any mod or anything that states these things? Or even gives names to ships you sink?
I am using grey wolves mod currently, and sh3 commander. I look at patrol log in sh3 commander but it seems same as the in game log
By the way, off topic question, so far I have sunk 2 revenge class battlships. Does the game remember how many were sunk? Or is it possible I will see more revenge class battleships than actually existed? (If for example someone theoretically sunk all the revenge class battleships made by the british, would they no longer be present in convoys and such) Or will it even be less likely to see them, seeing as there are less in the world?
oh and another quick question,
how far can someone get a torpedo off at a ship?
I am using in a campaign that started in 1939, and in the 2nd Flotilla. I dont remember the name of the u boat or the torpedos, but they are the ones that require a direct hit on the ship. (I'm afraid of using the magnetic torpedos from all the apparent problems with them. And when I used one , it exploded prematurely. Don't know if I should be so afraid or not though)
I usually go very close to a ship that I want to sink. close enough that they are either in the circle or near the circle that shows on the map when you are all the way zoomed in. I just want to know how far people typically fire their torpedos from their target. Since in convoys, I am always having to literally go inside them, between the ships to fire my torpedos. Just don't know how else to attack. Really dangerous though, because I don't always know how many escorts there are. (But it was fun last time, it was night and rough waters, I was able to surface between two lines of ships undetected to get to the front of the convoy to sink a battleship! ... not so fun the two previous, where the escorts heard me and I had to run without firing torpedos)
I am just wary of shooting torpedos from very long distance, too scared to try. These torpedos are precious, it takes a lot of real life time to get around, and I dont want to waste a few hours of my life to watch all my torpedos miss ...
