bit of a natter about this and that

She-Wolf · 09-29-07, 04:51 AM

Hello all again.

Nobody was able to help me with my hydrophone problem (I can't get it to turn when I want to use it personally), so that's ok... I will get by.. somehow.

I downloaded the manual for SH2 to see if that might give me some clues. it doesn't, but what it does mention is thermo clines, and it says that my crew will alert me whenever we pass through one. Well... that has not been my experience. No-one has ever mentioned layers to me in SH3. Is that because I seldom get into combat situations or because I am always in the North Sea?

I have been trying to understand the game Dangerous Waters - I saw it going cheap, so I bought it. Gosh, hard to get into. If I persevere I might find a good game in there, though it can't beat SH3 for realism I think, and it might help me understand more about submarine warfare - that too goes on about thermal layers - so why have I not found any in SH3?.

The seas have been rough for DAYS on my present patrol, and my poor watch gets regularly dunked when I have to come up for batteries, but I haven't lost a man (yet). The only targets I have located so far are too far away, so I am about to sneak a bit closer to Harwich to see if I can find a convoy hugging the coast. Risky I know, and it will probably end in a watery death - but I can't go back to Kiel with nothing.....

When you click somewhere on the hydrophone dial, the needle doesn't start to turn towards that point automaticly?

And there are thermal layers but you're just not notified when you pass through one.

no it doesn't! It used to, until about three real-time days ago...

ahh, so, if no-one tells me when I have passed through a thermal layer in SH3, how can I know and take advantage of it?? :hmm:

In that case I'm afraid that I'm not able to help you. But of course you can always re-install the game. But I can imagine that re-installing the game is not the option that you prefer the most.

Well, I guess that when the DD's above you can't ping you anymore, there is chance that's because you're in or under a thermal layer. Of course you don't know where you can find such a layer, but the deeper you go, the higher the chance you can take advantage of it. If you're using SH3 Commander the depth of thermal layers is randomly generated every time the game is started.

She-Wolf, if you're using a type IIA i had the same prob. HP wheel wouldn't turn, but it does in a VII i took command of, but for other reasons

She-Wolf · 09-29-07, 07:02 AM

Shark Bait, I am in that type u-boat, yes. Not had it happen before.

I could re-install the game as Huskalar suggests, but that means I have to reload GWX as well... still. I can do that! course I can!
