1. Sonar/hydophnes usin home and end keys at deepth
of atleast 60 feet.

2. Set course to periscope heading using the = key.

Are there any other undocumented keys please post them and thier function. This would beof great helptous new skiipers out there.

I want undocumented features ...

[wetwarev7]

I'm surprised noone has mentioned the "crash to desktop" a key before the patch...

There are a lot of commands that got left out also, but you have to re-add them in the commands.cfg file. My favourite being WP_Identify_Target....(I hate trying to ID a ship at 0/180 degrees AOB)

Okay, hang on....

This is becoming a really useful thread.


Are these listed there, but just not assigned with a key? Or do we have to manually type in the command?

If so, can we get a list of possible commands we can add?

Please and Thank You.

PS: I suppose the response to the WP_identify _target is text that appears in themessage box? (no audio)

[jmr]

Monolith, check out this thread to impliment that command.

[jhelix70]

Here are three commands I put into my commands.cfg file that others might find useful. The first assigns the enter key to returning time comp to normal, replacing torpedo firing (too easy to do accidentally, its now ctrl+enter):

[Cmd6]
Name=Time_compr_normal
Ctxt=1,2,6,9
Key0=0x0D,,"Enter"

[Cmd313]
Name=Fire_torpedo
Ctxt=1
Key0=0x0D,c,"Ctrl+Enter"

And these two allow radar to be turned on/off, and to order the sub to radar depth (called snorkel depth in the game):

[Cmd142]
Name=Radar_toggle_on_off
Ctxt=1
Key0=0x52,,"R"

[Cmd195]
Name=Snorkel_depth
Ctxt=1
Str=1033
Key0=0x52,c,"Ctrl+R"

[Canonicus]

Thanks jhelix70....Love the "return to normal time" command..
I will be adding that ASAP.

Sweet Jeebus, my good man, thank you!! I can't count how many times I've accidentally pressed the Enter key and fired off a precious torp.

[MONOLITH]

This is good stuff. Thank you.


Ditto on the 'enter' fire key. I keep trying to move the exterior camera quickly with the shift key, and accidently hitting the enter key.

"Firing Tube One"

Huh? What? WAIT!

Hmm. I did that last night. I was sneaking up on a convoy when I accidentally hit the enter key while trying to increase time compression. I figured that it was gone and was hoping to not have any negative side effects from it (there were 4 matsuki destroyers around and I did not want to meet them). Well, I continued to sneak up behind the merchants to get lined up for a kill when I see a message telling me that a torpedo impacted. I was surprised since this was several minutes after it should have hit any of the merchants. Turns out that it critically hit one of the destroyers on the far side of the convoy. Made for an interesting mission I thought. Most lucky shot ever. lol. BTW. I plan to use those shortcut key edits... thanks for the code.

[keelhauled]

Found this by accident. Center your sub on the navigation map by pressing Ctrl and clicking the left mouse button at the same time. Helps when you're just wanting to follow along.

[@Lantis]

I recently found a useful command (albeit not a keyboard command), try using the mouse scroll wheel while in the Sonarstation, you can use it to 'aim' your sonar (ping) very accurately. Very useful when making a bad-weather 'sonar-only' attack.


greetz,

@Lantis

[Petr]

1)Exist any command forreporting visual contact or reporting radar contact?
2)If you have hydrophone can you choose target to follow or choose target which you want to report?

[Mr.O'Bannon]

Howdy everyone. Is there a key that instantly stops time compression or do you have to click back down incrementally on the - symbol.:hmm:

[ancient46]

I use the Keyboard Configurator to modify the commands.cfg file. Something I did to solve the firing problem was to assign the F key to firing torpedoes. Now if I lay my hand on the the keyboard with my index finger on the F key, my ring finger rests on the W. I can set up a firing solution, fire a torpedo, switch tubes and fire without moving my hand.

I would like to claim I had that planned from the beginning, but you probably all know by now that I'm not smart enough for it to be anything but a happy accident.

I'd kill for a key that instantly took me to a specific time compression, say 1500x or 2000x - which is the common compression I use while patrolling. Is there a way to modify Time_compr_normal in such a way?

I'm sick of jamming on the '+' key all the time.
