Questions Re: SH3-1.4 & Early Port Attacks

[Bent Periscope]

I’m playing SH3 patched to 1.4 and I’ve noticed a few things.
- In the Main file, I increased my time compression from 1024x to 4096x, this is how I played SH3-1.0 version for years, but I can still only compress to 1024x. Any ideas why this might be happening?
- I’ve noticed that when I have a ship in my scopes and I press “Ship” the ship will pop up in the Rec. Book but it no longer shows the weak points. Is there an issue here or was this taken off for the version? Is it available in either GWX or SH3Cmdr. Or is there a special mod?

By the way, I’m heading to Scapa Flow for a 10/04/39 fireworks show as well as to Loch Ewe for their 11/05/39 fireworks show. The fireworks will be the 2 capital ships in each port. Has anyone taken out all four of these ships in the same patrol? If so, what was your tactics for:
- How many torps should I have in my VIIB?
- Entering the port?
- Avoiding detection?
- Avoiding mines or nets if there are any?
- Setting up the shots, where to you aim, etc?
- Escaping?
Where is the best place in Kiel and Berlin to trawl for frauleins while wearing all my medals?

Any help/hints would be greatly appreciated.

I’ll be playing SH3-1.4 version for a short while to see if I have any other problems. Then I’ll move up to GWX, play like that for a while and if I like it, I’ll add in SH3Cmdr to see if I like it. I’m sure I’ll have plenty of questions as I go along so I am glad everyone is so helpful.

Happy Hunting,
