A few GW questions...

mangaroca · 08-17-06, 12:54 PM

Hi,
I would like to know three things about The Grey Wolves mod (and the whole SH3 game in general):

1) How to find longtitude and latitude on the map (xx.yy' N; aa.bb'W)?
2) Do the radio messages mean anything (if there is a message telling me to go to third quarter of sector "F" [hell knows where it is] to form a wolfpack, should I do it?) Also, what does "SSS sinking "shipname" SS something..." radio message mean???
3) If I damage a ship in a way she sinks about 1 meter a day am I gonna get the credit for sinking her even if I'll be far away, half way home? Will she sink at all???

Thanks in advance.

1. I dont have a clue

2. No, the messages are there so you wouldnt feel so alone out there. SSS is a mayday call used in the war, it was send when you were under attack from a enemy submarine.

3. No, you dont get the credit if you go too far. Just punch another whole in it, try to aim to a different spot of the ship so there are more compartments flooding.

Hope these help!

1. Try this little gem: http://web.telia.com/~u51008935/converter.html

2. SSS means "Help! We are under attack by a submarine!

3. Listen to your uncle Dowly.

The quadrant converter is great. That's a bookmark, indeed. Cheers, Dowly.

SOS is the international distress signal from the Morse Code days. (SOS = Save our Souls). "Mayday, Mayday, Mayday" is the current voice equivelent on HF or UHF/VHF equipment.
I think SSS is perhaps an error.
The morse signal transmitted in GWX 2.0 is: CH/28/04/43G.
Is that a random set of charachters or has it some sort of Date/Time/Group as all military signals have?

.

You must be within 30km (rendering distance) from ship when ship sinks to get credit for the kill.
Note that if you go further than 30 km from damaged ship and come back to that ship, he will be fully recovered (undamaged).

I always thought SSS was " S#|T, ... Submarine Sighted!" :rotfl:

(For example) zoom in on the England area so you have the Greenwich meridian in view. Then look at the black/white marks on the edge of the map(screen). Grab the map with the cursor and slide it around. You see it now?

BTW credits go to don1reed for finding it.
