Sub to Sub Warfare In SH3?

09-21-07, 12:11 AM

Was just wondering if there is sub to sub warfare in SH3?
Thanks.

You read my mind! I've been meaning to ask this very same question, just havn't got around to it with all the other ones..

I know there is that sub pen up above Scalpa Flow.. (my last patrol was around there), but didn't see any action.

In the the stock standard version of the game, the answer is no, but for GWX the answer is yes.

With the GWX subs they are either submerged, or on the surface, they can't go from surface to submerged due to coding limits (there has been a break through of sorts just recently, look in the SH3 mods thread)

This is a commanly asked question. Many have wished for it from day one (myself included). If the AI sub that can dive does get released and works, there will be cheering for all sides of the forum!

"With the GWX subs they are either submerged, or on the surface, they can't go from surface to submerged due to coding limits" Guess that's why they never seem to sink when I destroy them. Sat and watched one for over a day after I got the "She's going down" message. Just bobbed around like a cork. I wanted to tow it into port and maybe claim salvage on it :rotfl:

I have spotted and destroyed several S class subs in War Ace.
The coding thing mentioned explains the odd behavior noticed. They didn't sink but eventually would fade away like a ghost sub. They are cool to see for imersion but I think they are almost not worth taking out. Look at it like an armed trawler, deck gun and machine gun can do some damage to you and the tonnage reward is limited.

Iv'e sunk a S-class brit sub. Tried to sink it with a couple of torps which missed, so I sufaced and we had a bit of a deck gun exchange -I won, and sunk him. This happened about 200km NE of Brest.

So, what would change if I were to install GWX, does it make the game more difficult or no change? Are there pros and cons?

Have a look around this forum....you'll soon realise what the vast majority of folk here are playing

.....I rest my case

Oh, and enjoy the GWXperience

I just wish I had known about how the Sh3 Engine applies smoothing groups to 3d objects when I modelled those subs for GWX, could have got some better results

(hard edges where needed)
Meh.. whats done is done.
