Why I'm dumping GWX 1.02 mod - Page 2

It762 · 03-19-07, 05:40 AM

for the people yelling about realism....

in fact the guy looks through the periscope and gives ORDERS (course, bearing, speed blabal) , so he holds (locks) the view all the time i would guess.

Another person sets up the torpedo.

But since it is a game a balance has to be found between realism and playability. Locking is a good thing to happen. But it can oalso be used to cheat! E.g. super dense fog just hit the "L" key on the suspected position of the ship. If the button clicks in you have a lock and sometimes it does not go away (if close).

I was approaching on the surface in the last escapade. The target was about 9000 away. It wasn't the first time this happened, however. As a result of this, and not being good at manual targeting, all my torps missed. I now would have to return to port in disgrace.

To be fair, I noticed that I had unintentionally checked the 'Manual Targetting' box in the options section. That might be why. I would not know as I never would check it intentionally.

Anyway, I removed GWX and reinstalled. I am on patrol with NO mods again.

Sorry GWX guys if I blamed your mod by mistake.

Yes we are currently testing GWX 1.03 and it should be released soon. Hopefully another major update with more ships etc will come later on (probably in the summer).

Look forward to it

Still lots of game in SH3

Visual distance in the periscope is limited to 5K max distance. Anything past that the game wont recongize by itself, you have to force it through player interaction by contsant pressing of the lock key or button. Combine that, with the waves, and there you have it.
