sub tower sticks out of water at periscope depth

aloe1 · 01-02-07, 07:34 AM

I have just been on GWX to practice my torpedo runs in the academy mode and my subs conning tower sticks out of the water slightly initially my sub is just over 10m submrerged and then creeps up to 10 meters to which then shows the conning tower out of the water. why does it do this ? i also have SH3 commander and all patches to both SH3 and GWX and no other mods.

Thanks

Read the GWX manual

When stationary the sub will rise slightly so either stay at >2 knts or stop at a slightely lower depth than periscope.

IVE read it some thing to do with your sub speed if your running @2knt the boat rises if you do a search of the forums am sure it could be expained better than I can.

Either set speed at 3knots or set depth 2 metres deeper than you want

Personally I think they should have gone whole hog and have the sub keep rising, just like NYGM has it keep sinking. Even better, a randomized "oh crap" function that will make it rise OR sink. Perfect trim is goal seldom achieved.

You mean to tell me those aren't deliberately in GWX already?

Because I have those moments about every 45 seconds when I have to try and get away from a couple of C&D's (again) after a(nother) sloppy attack ...
