I Hate Single Ship Contacts!!!!

07-02-06, 01:33 PM

During the U-Boat War Commanders received reports on CONVOYS, not single little ships roaming the Ocean. The single ships they sunk, were ships they just happened to run across with no advance warning. I'm basing this on years of reading and research on the subject.

So how do you get rid of the single ship contacts, yet keep the convoy contacts?I'm currently running RUB 1.45.

The current assisted plotting mod 1.4b does not do away with the single ship contacts. I know an older version did, but I can not find it anywhere.

Thanks!

Stop whining so much! Do you really think that the "real" U-boat commanders saw a convoy evrytime they raised their periscope??? PATIENCE!!!

If you want convoys, try looking at the hunting grounds pages of the Wikipedia community manual.

Also, in your SH3 box there came a map displaying all the main convoy lanes in SHIII. Look there!

What are you talking about??? I'm not looking for a bunch of convoys.

I want the single ship contact icon on the map to go away forever.

Ahh LOL!

As English ain't my mother tongue so to say I understood your question completely wrong!

I'm sorry for my angry manner, welcome to the Subsim.com forums and as a note, I'm not usually this "unwelcoming" but you see my sub, U-53 had just been sunk and I was a bit angry and upset. Hope you understand.

Hello Magua!

Maybe this is interesting for you, if you don´t wanna like messing up with the campaign file for yourself...

Here is the link to CB's modified campaign file:
http://www.ebort2.co.uk/files/wolfrnd1.zip

You´ll need Sergbutos AI subs for getting CB's mod to work. Download it (and other great stuff) here:

Hope Sergbuto and CB have nothing against hotlinking their sides in the main forum.

Or just download the NYGM Tonnage Mod 2.0 and install it. It removes God's Eye Mode and removes all single contacts. Plus it's really fantastic what with the realistic sinking of ships and all. The GW mod uses the NYGM damage model but I'm not sure if it eliminates God's Eye Mode and/or single contacts or not.

How handy are you with the mission editor and loading the campaign RND layer in wordpad?
