do they come more useless than me?

[She-Wolf]

hello folks, haven't been on here for a coupla days on account of fixing folks computers ( like London buses, they always come along two or three at a time) but I have had snatches of SH3 in between jobs, hoping to finally get to my designated patrol ground in one piece, with a whole crew and without using up all my diesel... well, today, left in peace cos I have a chest infection and can't do more than squeak at people, hubs went off to church without me, so I had several hours to do just what I want with..woww I thought, scrub the washing up - SH3, here I come. So, very carefully I come out of Kiel, no more bangs or scraped hulls for this Kaleun, and begin to make my way to my patrol area. By swapping between diesel and battery I got there with optimum fuel reserves, a rested crew and no disasters, and all aglow with pride I thought I will just check my brief again... and then.... oh NO, I don't believe it!. AN52 it says... and I have spent the whole morning wending my way to AO52......eeearggghh, or something like that. So I have sacked myself, booted me out of subs and replaced my four failed patrols with a new career - and THIS time....ggrr.

Can you tell me though, why cannot I go higher than x8TC in some parts of the canal ( I fear the war will have finished before I get to my patrol area otherwise) also, who is this Bernard I keep reading about?

I did have other questions, but have forgotten them temporarily, and anyway, will probably find the answers in the guides.

I believe time compression is limited if enemies are nearby, there might be other reasons as well...:hmm:

[She-Wolf]

no enemies in the Kiel Canal. I thought maybe it was to do with narrow bits or shallows. In some parts I can go up to 32 or 64 TC

Time compression is affected by proximaty to land

get wolfies tweak pack for easy changes to those settings

Hi She-wolf.

You need to open SH3 Commander, hit the options tab and change the time compression near land to something higher than 8.

And don't worry about going where bdu send you, I tend to go where I want and I think (although someone here will know for sure) that it doesn't make too much of a difference to your renown.

Ohh you are SO asking for a court-martial!

If you open Main.cfg in your \Data\Cfg folder you can set the values for Tc manualy.

Hi She Wolf,
I hate to spoil your illusion but using the batteries does not save fuel. When they are recharged your speed drops. Ergo, less distance covered for the same fuel comsumption. I find the best economy is to transit at Ahead 1/3 to far areas using 2048 TC. I still get up to 35 FPS and have actually used 4096 but kept having collisions!!!!

To explain Bernard:
He was on watch on the bridge yesterday. This led to events that got me killed. In another patrol, he launched a torpedo at an impossible range at the most critical moment (I survived that Bernard moment) He was who went to flank speed astern instead of slow ahead in full view of the nurses at the dock. He is the idiot that stares at me on the bridge through his binoculars. Visit the humorous pictures thread -- plenty of bernard there.

Hey there
Bernard is the one guilty of placing magnets by your compass, showing East instead of West
Tc when near land, you can set it in The SH3Commander, it´s a must have
Someone will tell you witch file to edit if you want to do it manually, I don´t remember, using the Cmdr

[codmander]

land prox tc in your main folder

Ok, thanks folks
