Hello Onelifecrisis,
just wanted to say i installed and modded a new SH3 just to make sure, and use your OLCE2 mod with the 1.2.6. GUI.
Then i made some night surface attacks, and this time i was able to get right in to some 600 meters distance in a convoy without being spotted, early in 1940. One time they did not see me at all, i did not fire a torp just to test the perception !
Seems i screwed up my install or whatever before, however it does work now. I have some problems with the distance check in GUI 1.2.6, when i am am near a target (closer than say 500 meters) the 1.5 zoom will show me a distance of 2000 meters or so - but it may be my fault.
[Edit: Using OLCE2, GUO 1.2.6, the torpedo school mission you used in the tutorial. I am at PD, speed=0, looking through the 'scope.
Magnification 6: Distance to the tramp steamer measured now is "13" height, so checking double mast height the target is around 930 meters away.
Magnification 1.5 (no zoom): Distance is now 3 and a half, wheel turned to scratch mark, distance now around 830 meters.
"Zellen ausblasen" / surface without turning props , 0 knots, surfaced. Asking my watch officer the target is 700 meters away.
Huh ? Am i doing something wrong ? ]
Anyway the night attack possibility is great ! Just wanted to tell you, i am instantly back to SH3 now -
Thanks and greetings,
Catfish
