Why would you think that? Sounds like a reasonable question to me.

Yeah...top left hand.

There was an almost identical thread to this one approx 2/3 weeks back...so you'll either get a boat load of responses or very few...but no tis not a hornets nest my friend

Is there a way to click on the wooden stop watch and make it go/stop without having to click on the watch in the periscope screen first?

mookiemookie · 01-02-07, 10:09 AM

No. The stopwatches on the other screens aside the periscope screen are there to help you keep track of torpedo running times and ship speed measurements without having to stay on the periscope screen.

Interesting Feature (only found this the other day)

Crew Management - If you Left-click on a compartment and then Right-click on a crew member he is instantly moved.
(Very handy if you're in a gun battle in MP

)

Crimeny!!! I didn't know that!

Iron Budokan · 01-02-07, 02:38 PM

I know, me either. I just tried it and it works. Now no more click and drag the lazy goon WO out of his bunk!

That's a stock SHIII feature. Been using since about day 3 of running the game. I think it was mentioned in the manual somwhere.

Thats new to me as well, after years of SH3

Yep, like someone said though, it's in the manual ;-) Also double click on a compartment to get some blokes in there.
