GWX Identification Trouble

A Very Super Market · 12-11-08, 10:49 PM

Hi everybody, just a newbie here.

I've been playing Silent Hunter 3 for a while now, and its pretty cool to see a whole forum for a genre I thought no one played.

Anyways, I downloaded GWX and played for a while...without sinking any ships. I use manual targeting, and when I open the identification book there are sometimes two pages for the same picture but the tonnage and mast and stuff like that are different. Is this some crazy glitch or a remnant file from before I installed GWX?

Need an answer! Thanks..

The duplicate entries are for lit and darkened variations of the same ish ships
We never found a way not to have an entry in to avoid that

So I can't do anything but remember which ones are which? That seems okay. I just thought my game had messed up or something

Thanks

Sometimes there are duplicates of models which are slightly different sizes. The 'Small Tanker' is one. Some of the SH4 imports have duplicates as well, but GWX doesn't use those. Also what BBW said is true. I don't know if they have different tonnages, but of course he does.
