@werewolf.... just wanted to say the frustrations you're having are flaws built into the original SH3, and not a product of GWX.

I never used sonar so as not give my self away. I use the hydrophone man to give me a bearing, then I pop the scope up briefly to get a range from that.


In regards to my questions...(any Grey Wolves out there please?) I just wondered if the map updates setting had been altered in any way as to limit the info provided, as RUB did. In Vanilla SH3, I leave map updates off, so that I have to mark contacts on the map and update them myself (adds more to the game)

With RUB I believe we were told to leave map updates on, but the information had been limited by the mod. Just looking to see what GWX's postion on map updates was.

As for the sensors... I'm assuming leave 'realistic sensors' on, yes?

In regards to my crew shelling my own escort on the way out of Keil.... I assume this is simply part of the vanilla AI bug with the AI not recognizing it's allies? At first I thought perhaps this is why there were no escorts or friendly ships in ports in vanilla, but then i remembered in the first training navigation in the academy, there are 4 friendly ships in the area. I think they deleted the deck gun from that scenario though..... Hhmmmm.

Thoughts?



Thanks
Sorry mate. Thank you for your good words earlier. It is just difficult to respond to everything. Lots going on... and for awhile I'm letting real life take first place.

Regarding map contact updates. You can leave these on or off... there is no realism percentage hit for either choice.

Enemy single ship radio contacts have been reduced to roughly 5% of stock SH3. Convoys of all sizes typically have to be a bit larger than stock SH3 by 1-3 ships for a possible radio contact message to be sent.

Regarding friendly ships shelling other friendly ships... it is a stock SH3 bug that we haven't been able to do anything with.
