SHIII Community Manual Wiki

[Detritus]

<Edit: Link to the community manual: http://www.communitymanuals.com/shii...itle=Main_Page>

I'd like to ask someone to add couple of things in to community manual or FAQ's, if I may. It's about the effect of TC to AI 'behaviour', the intervals which the AI makes a sweep at high TC and such. The other is about the weather clock. You know, if you save in storm, the clock will reset etc. I remember seeing posts where somones(s) had figured out the TC thing and the 'dice rolling' of the weather clock and the odds which it has on the weather. Can't find the posts myself, so if someone could add them or at least link them to corresponding threads it'd probably be appreciated by many.

You can do it yourself! Try!

Sorry, no. I would if I could but IIRC they were actually calculated somehow and I've got no idea how it was done. I'm still trying to find the posts but it really needs someone else to do the dirty work.

OK. I found couple of posts by Jungman regarding the weather clock but there're some different opinions about it as well.
Here're the threads with Jungman's posts:

So, now we need to find exactly how the engine works. FAdmiral, for eaxmple, seems to think differently.

Haven't found the TC vs. AI posts yet.

Great resource!

Any way you can add a deck gun column to the sub types matrix? I'd like to know which subs had them (and sizes if possible), and which did not.

Well... not really. It was really simple, as all of Type VII have 8,8cm deck gun and all of Type IX have 10,5cm
The editing of WIKI is also much simplier than doing a real cappucino

ok, what about keel depths? Is that info somewhere?

What do you mean by that? Draft while surfaced?

for eels, the depth of each boat so I can set my torpedos accordingly... heavier ships having more depth than, say a fishing boat. I've seen some refrences to 2m - 8m

You have it in your recognition manual Just click on it and find a ship of your interest

Ok, I looked but didnt see it - I'll look again tonight

oh wait, unless "draft" is the number which I am looking for

Yup! That's the case. Just remember to set your torpedoes to run BELOW the keel

To anyone who would like to,

I think this randomizer would be a good edition to the wiki. I would, but I'm not familiar with how to add stuff (thinking about it, that would make a good topic to add as well)

...BELOW the keel...

oh, ok, I guess that's good info to know seems to work a whole lot better now
