Lack of "Ship Spotted"?

finchOU · 06-09-12, 02:45 AM

I'm having issues with my watch crew.....I set my TC up so that I always go to TC1 with any message (no travel mode...ever)...etc. Basically...my watch crew can spot a ship..but not tell me about it..aka give me a "Ship Spotted" or "Smoke on the Horizon"...and I would keep going at TC128 and miss the contact. I comfired this twice. Once I forgot to decerment down the Sub Spotted range and disable the messages....low and behold I go to 1tc on a new message...which was a Red sub spotted message at my location....I got to the bridge and ask the crew to get range to nearest contact...they tell me its at 3000 yards off the nose. ...yeah...thanks for that "ship spotted". I guess i'm more worried about this as a threat when aircraft become more of an issue. Will they tell me about spotted A/C 100% of the time they see them? Is this a bug? Is is a TC issue?

Hate to bump this ...but was about to restart an new career and trying to figure out any fixes before I set sail. Anyone having these issues?

I have a similar issue, described in this thread. Unfortunately, the issue remains unsolved.

for me, this only happens with friendly contacts, and only when surfaced. So far, all enemy contacts were reported on time, and TC droped to real time.

But once I collided with the resupply ship because my watch crew didn't report seeing it. I was only at x32 TC, but still failed to avoid collision.

Thanks for the info....will try it out. I've decided to do a fresh clean install of SH5...my only campaign is only to jan 40 ....so I dont feel Im too invested in it (besides the many hours of playing). The reason is I've improperly installed some MODS in the order they need to be in (OH2) and would have to restart my campaign anyway. Sober ..im going to use your list to try and figure out which order is correct. (what the heck is Green spinning thing

???
