night attacks

Piojo · 01-16-16, 03:15 PM

Hey

I just started playing SH3, with some mods (mainly gwx3, OLC and ACM).
Hitting something is nigh impossible, but I didnt expect anything else. The hits will come.
A big problem is trying to do an attack at night. Is it normal that the attack periscope is so useless? All i see is red and a very dim shadow of the ship (if im lucky). Its just impossible to use those OLC wheels to make a calculation. Even in calm weather and a calm sea, I cant see anything but red at night. The regular periscope shows me some greenish colour, but it's much more clear. Even just looking outside through the eyes of a watchman gives a clearer view.

hmm, in the naval academy it's a lot better. Strange. Could it really be that much of a difference? In my career it is so red ...
Could it be the fact that its just a type II sub?
I notice its particularly bad in the North Sea.

In crap weather or moonless nights, it can be frustrating. On a full moon in good weather, it can be just as frustrating as they can spot the wake of your scope from 3200m or more and start to zig-zag.
It will never perfect, trust your instinct and use your lock button, set fish to shallow and fast, magnetic - good hunting

I uninstalled and reinstalled some mods and the problem appears as soon as I install ACM for OLC. It's as if there is a red filter on my periscope.

Ok, that actually sounds like a fault of some sort - like one mod setting conflicting with another.
Hopefully a modder in this forum will read this and can help you
