Here's something funny

mapuc · 10-25-07, 02:44 PM

In 4 out of 5 times my SHIII crash to Desktop when I'm engaging an airplane or more.

I have SHIII+1.4b+GWX1.03 and some other mods

I have tried without the mods

Only without the GWX I can engage them without crashing the game.

So instead I dive.

I always dive, every single time, unless I'm somehow forced to be on the surface due to damage. Only as a last, defiant act before dying would I even consider engaging an aircraft with the flak gun. I feel the same way about using the deck gun against destroyers. I just don't do it.

For me, the only purpose of the flak gun is the entertainment value of using it on small coastal vessels - fishing trawlers and the like. There is something very satisfying about having a small fishing boat meandering towards you, never knowing that his doom lies near. You then quietly surface as close as possible - within 100m - and proceed to machine gun him into the next world.

1. Look Kaelun, it's the american 8th air force........Surface the boat and man the flak guns

2. Look Kaelun, it's the Nelson and Rodney.......Surface the boat and man the deck gun

3. Look Kaelun, it's Bernard in a liferaft..........Allllaaarrrmmmmm!!!! crash dive crash dive, all offduty hands forward!!!

Yeah, I like my short careers, I like the challenge of duking it out with aircraft and battleships/cruisers/destroyer. But as proven in point 3, I have my priorities straight.

I had the same error for a bit, I reinstalled and rearranged my mod order and hasn't happened since.

It takes only a bit of annoyance and forcing me to surface and make a valorous stand against a destroyer or a petty elco boat for example. I'd even present my bridge bristling with the latest AA guns to an incomming mosquito or a litter of catalina's and burn them down without casualties 60% of the time. But a battleship's 14 inch gun shell is a big no-no. Trust me, I'm speaking from experience.
