new to SH 5, am i too used to SH 3?

tnet13 · 11-19-10, 05:46 PM

When I play SH 5 i find it rare that my crew even tells me that a ship has been spotted.. I can sail on the ocean, put up game speed to like 512 and all of the sudden die because some destroyer 3-shot me!!!

What's up with that? and i didn't have the travel mode on , if you are wondering..

Do I as the captain have to stand on the bride before i will be able to spot anything while surfaced perhaps?

Don't stand on the bride! She'll scream and give away your position!

Thanks for pointing out that little mistake

oh one more thing, sorry for the terrible english in my last post, i was too frustrated from playing SH 5

That complaint has been made before, and I think there is a mod that fixes it.

Someone with more SH5 experience will have to give you the details.

Your watch crew will let you know if anything is spotted, but, at such a high time compression, you don't have time to react. Even when playing SH3, I was advised to not go over 128x TC. I've been able to stick to that and no longer get "ambushed." Yeah, it does slow the game down quite a bit, but that's part of life on a U-boat. I might suggest you get the gramophone or radio working and enjoy listening to some music as you hunt the wide expanses.

Strange, i never had such an experiance, neither in Sh3. Only in foggy conditions one could be surprised and rammed.
It might be fixed in one of the mods there are out?
