Flak Guns and Conning tower blown by DC. Crew dies when surfacing.

gusti · 01-28-07, 12:14 PM

Hi Everybody. It's my first post and to begin with I'd like to thank all of you modders who have endeavored to make SH3 a better game.

I am running SH3 1.4 with the GWX mod. I am having a problem but I don't know if it is mod related of if it was the same in stock SH3.

On two ocassions I had the flak guns of a IXC sub blown to pieces by depth charges. The flak gun compartiment was destroyed and the conning tower was left in "serious" damage with both periscopes, antennas and uzo destroyed. Every subsystem in the conning tower was destroyed. I managed to put the sub together and survived the attack. When I surfaced my crewmen started to die. Half of the crew was killed or wounded.

I think this happened because the AI was trying to set the crew watch on the conning tower which was destroyed. When I manually added an officer he died as well.

Is this normal? Is there any workaround this issue, such as disabling the AI automatically sending crew members to the conning towers?

Thanks in advance!

PD: I've also read in your posts that you know the particular names of the ships you sink. How can I do this? Is it a part of GWX?

I would also like to know how you get the realistic names of ships you sink. I click on that in SH3 commander but have yet to have a ship name come up in my log or anythnig.

I once had a destroyed conning tower but the game would not allow me to put any men up there, although I could go to the conning tower myself and still look around. That was pre-GWX though....

Doesnt work here either.

To see the ship names you need to open SH3commander
Click on " click for available actions "
Then choose " update your personnal file "

Click " open " on the pop up box

Now you will have a page open up with your personnel file

Near the bottom it will have your patrols

Click on one ( the patrol number in blue ) your ship names are in there
