A Couple of questions from a noob!

Hi All,

This is my first post, although I have been reading the forum pages off and on for about a month - I am stunned by this sim, and first off I would like to thank all the modders out there for some incredible work My chin is getting sore from constantly getting jaw dropped to the floor!! . Well that's the grovelling done! Now I have a couple of questions to ask:-

I got SH3 at the end of July (Birthday treat!) and so far have been taking it steady - doing the training, taking exams and trying the single missions out. I was getting a hell of a lot of those lock-ups with the sound getting stuck in a loop so was reluctant to start a campaign until I had got that sorted (changing my Ram chips seem's to have cured about 90% of them!) looks like I just have to put up with the odd one or two that come along now. Anyway I've digressed a bit sorry! - Now I have started a campaign (still doing my first patrol) I was wondering why I keep getting Radio messages from Bdu telling me to be more aggresive! Uh! why? I got the first one when Kiel was still in sight - I had only just left port - what's that all about then? I got another and I was still pretty close to home - and was running flat out, just in-case I was not going fast enough to get to my assigned patrol area? I was starting to wonder if I was supposed to shoot at the seaguls as I had not yet seen any ships! LOL


Also I was wondering how rough does the weather get in this sim? The water in this sim is stunning and I was gob smacked when I played the Bismarck single mission as all the others had fairly calm weather. Does it get as rough as in Das Boot when U96 meet Thompson's boat? or like in those pictures in another thread here, or is the Bismarck mission as rough as it gets? I guess I will find out in time but I thought I would ask you old sea dogs up front anyone got a good screen caps their boat in really rough weather?

Cheers for taking the time to read this lot!

(P.S. I also need to learn how to put pictures in my auto sig like the rest of you clever Bods)
