Blasted Bridge Crews!

Darksun · 07-31-06, 12:53 PM

I just switched from NYGM2.0 to GW. I noticed some things. One, my bridge crew has gone blind. Two, my sonarman is now deaf. Three, destroyers are now psychic.

My bridge crew can't see smoke on the horizon that's plain to me without binoculars. My sonarman can't hear screws that I can count RPMS on. Destroyers now have a "feeling" that I am stalking thier convoy and will come from 5KM or more out, right at me when I am silent running at perisope depth at 3 knots with the scope down.

NYGM 2.0 did a really good job tweaking these things to make them behave more realistically.

Those problems are not from the mod.Those have been around since the stock game.The blind crew..deaf sonarman..etc are all stock problems.

I mean seriously do these guys just get drunk and throw each other off the boat instead of actually looking for ships?!?

Yes. It's a new feature come the latest release of SH3 Commander. Find the "Political Correctness" option and turn it off, and the Kriegsmarine will stop hiring blind watchmen and deaf hydrophone officers

It's bad when I can see a ship over the W.O.s shoulder in broad daylight without binocs and ask the crew about surface contacts and get " no surface contacts". When I use the UZO to site the target in the watch crew acts as if they knew it was there all along.

i've never really experienced any severe trouble with my watch crew... i mean the way they heroically stand strong when the waves pour over them, they are heroes!
there should be implemented chances for them to being washed off
