How to surrender?

I thought there was on SS a topic concerning to surrender yourself (and your crew) on a patrol. However, I cannot find it?

Is there a specific mod for surrendering? Just using esc on the keyboard doesn't help ... no possibility to surrender in SH3?

Thanks guys.

LOL :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

No really Red Heat, I remember that this option is possible, but don't know how?



Maybe the allies can help one of my crew members if I surrender!

If you're using SH3 Commander and are destroyed while surfaced, you have the option of going into SH3 Commander and marking that captain as "Surrendered" instead of killed at sea.

Thanks mate Mook!

OK I understand, use alt+tab double click SH3 Commander and you're done.

... but when if there are 4 DD's hunting and shooting at (surfaced) me within 500 meters, I used "Anblassen", what to do?

I think you don't understand. SH3 Commander does NOT give you the option to surrender in the game. What happens is you surface and are killed. After that happens you leave the game and use Commander to change that to "Surrendered". Your career is still over, but you are a prisoner instead of dead.

Similar to DID but a much more pallatable career report

OK Thanks Jim and Steve!

I did try to start SH3 Commander but you cannot start it when you're playing the game. Now I understand how the surrender thing is working.

OK very good explanation.

Do not know the English word "palatable", when I translate this word from English to Dutch (on the web) it is something like tasty ... probably incorrect.

Anyway a real surrender (if possible) would be great in SH5!

The ability to surrender was only in SH2, and was dropped from SH3 and 4.

I never had SH2, stupid to take it out for SH3 and 4 ... historically, I suppose some U-Boat captains surrender during WWII.

Thus this smiley is incorrect (at the moment) for me LOL.

Well actually, it wasn't the ability to surrender. It was the ability to abandon ship, but if there was enemies around you, they'd capture you.
