Hello Everyone,

Im reasonably new to SH3 (vanilla version) and am enjoying it immensely, and thought I might introduce myself.

After 10 succesful patrols I think Im getting the hang on things, and my crew has itself a nice brace of medals (incl. one 'fried egg'). Im still only playing at 30% realism, and have yet to tackle manual torpedo targetting, but love the challenges in the game. Currently, Im stationed out of Nazaire in 1941 (I think), driving a VIIB with updated engine, hydrophone and batteries. So far, so good...Albion shall pay dearly for her sins!

I have a few questions, that I couldn't find answered elsewhere in the forums (or perhpas I haven't searched well enough), and was wondering wherther anyone could help:

Gramaphone
I found and downloaded some 1940's radio songs in .OGG format, and placed them in my C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\data\Sound\Gramophon e folder. Unfortunately, they will not play, and I suspect that this is because they should be MP3 format. Is that correct? If so, are there any MP3 versions for download that someone could point me to?

Boat and Torpedo Updates
After every patrol, I find that I do not get an option to upgrade my boat (apart from the VIIC) or torpedos, and wonder if thats because Im still operating out of 1941. Do I need to progress through to the middle 1940's to be eligible for updated boats and torpedo's?

Many thanks all. See you in the Wolf Pack!
