WoS : Deck Awash problems

Rosco74 · 12-13-17, 01:18 PM

Hello,
I used to play a lot the Wolves of Steel mod, everything is perfect except the deck’ awash condition. Maybe someone found a solution and I just post this concern on the forum to find a solution.

When at deck awash depth, even if the kiosk is of course above the sea level, the game consider the submarine as below the water line.... so he is a list of annoyances that alter my game experience :

- you cannot use the binoculars at all
- you cannot ask your kiosk crew about any visual contact, as the icon are greyed like if you were underwater.
- you cannot request a celestial fix, as before the guy consider the sub underwater.
- you cannot request the weather outside, same as above.

The binocular is the main problem, as I love to use them because of their better zoom level.
If anyone have a solution around thank you very much

Use TDW's Options File Editor Viewer and go to the Patches Tab and set your depth to how you want to play your game.

This has been done purposely to stop you over using the Decks Awash option.

Ok thanks for the info, I leave it like that then, the basic setting 7.2 meters depth sounds good, this was just strange I couldn't use the binoculars.

Sorry for reviving this.

I believe this is the option THEBERBSTER is referring but unfortunately that actually only changes the depth in which the u-boat dives when you press the deck awash button.

while i look for it myself if anyone can shed a light on what the correct option is i would really appreciate it.

Just to make it clear what im looking for is the option that changes the depth that the game considers the u-boat to be under water so i can increase it. That way when using the deck awash command or even in rough seas i don't keep losing the binoculars and other things.

It would be great to fix that! I'm also looking to create a hotkey to request submerged bridge so I can remove the in-game depth bar for more immersion. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.

I think it can be fixed. Today I will test on all boats and let you know.
