Assigned grid square null

Maniacles · 02-17-13, 09:04 PM

Is there a mod or tweak for SH3 hat will make the assigned grid patrol area always null?

I love the game, but I would love even more to be able to take my u-boat where ever I want and hunt convoys until I run out of torps. without loosing points for not reaching my grid square or finishing my patrol. Remember guys, I,m a newbie and very computer illiterate. Simple instructions would be GREATLY appreciated.

Have you tried going wherever you please? And looked how much renown it has cost? Contrary to disobeying orders given in the military, SH3 doesn't care. You'll only loose renown if you destroy neutrals, friendlies or buy something.

You do recieve a certain amount of renown for going to your assigned grid, but that is easily offset by sinking ships. If you use GWX that renown is removed anyway. As Pisces suggested, it's easy enough to just change the renown factors.

I haven't played in awhile and can't give you precise instructions, but there are those who can and it's a sure bet one of them will be along fairly soon.

Thanks guys, I feel much better now about just going out and munching on convoys.

You do not have renoun taken away from you, you just do not receive what you would get for going there and doing the patrol time. Like Steve said, in GWX that renoun has been removed anyway. There is one other option, using SH3 Commander, you can set your own patrol grid to whatever you want. So it would not feel like you are disobeying orders.

I feel that the whole concept of going to an assigned grid and patrolling for 24 hours is somewhat unrealistic. And if you use GWX it is meaningless for renown purposes.

What I do now is use the assigned grid as an indicator of the area BDU wants me to patrol. DH39 is my latest grid so I stay in that general area, west of Africa and east of Madeira for at least a couple of weeks. If I don't have any luck, I'll go to the closest heavy traffic area, in this case the approaches to Gibraltar.

Good hunting.
