It's one thing to have to sail all the way 'round Denmark, but then I get stuck in a "1x TC only" zone on the way into Keil (due to the proximity of land).
Oddly, it doesn't seem to be a problem on the way out.

There an easy solution. Download this:

Then use tweeksh3.exe to change "Land Proximity" to 64 or higher.

I'll have to look at that, thanks.
But, I should say, the land proximity thing has saved my life. There is a small island to the northwest of Scotland that doesn't show up on the map when zoomed out, and I would've crashed into it if I hadn't investigated whey the TC suddenly dropped.

Why, oh why could this not have been added?

I agree with Sailor Steve that if all our wishes were fullfilled the game would not have been released yet.
But it sure was a nice welcome home after a long and testing patrol, that Aces of the Deep offered us...

Anyway, the game is released and all our wishes were not fullfilled.

So...................... none of the above.

I dock there too, but my band is always playing G. F. HÃ¤ndel.

But..but... There are no string instruments in the band,only woodwinds,brass and percussion.Or do you got wind ensemble arrangement?
Serious lack of reality

Takeda Shingen · 08-23-05, 07:10 AM

HÃ¤ndel had written numerous 'wind ensemble' arrangements of some of his older works, especially after his appointment as Kappelmeister for the Elector of Hannover (later to become King George I following the death of Queen Anne in 1714). Such arragements were of need due to the King's desire for outdoor and 'traveling' music (violoncellos and contrabases are hard to lug around, especially with early 18th century transportation.)

In fact, Franz Josef Haydn, the composer of Das Deutchlandlied (Fanfare01 in SH3) wrote various wind ensemble arrangements of the piece, and was inspired so after a visit to London, where such ensembles were more common.

EDIT: Forgot to mention: I am using HÃ¤ndel's arrangement of the English song 'Stand Round My Boys' (1745), which was written for both chamber orchestra and wind ensemble. I use the wind ensemble version.

I recall docking at St Nazaire once. Actualy it was a case of major brain-fade as I was docking in I think June '40, whilst the port was still in French hands. I wasn't attacked at all on the way in and the nurses and the band were there to greet me. I'm not sure what the French thought about the whole thing. We waited until dark and slunk out to sea again. I didn't bother entering it in the log......

It´s great to have a welcoming party with orchestra and everything after a long patrol in the lonely atlantic, so that's why i always dock from the pen where i left, also increases the chance to find more ships if i return manually than teleporting after completing the objectives

Oberon · 12-22-07, 04:54 AM

First attempt at docking in a sub pen with U35 at Lorient...

Made it in there eventually!!

Man, excavated thread, I'm almost sure I voted this poll 2 years ago but it seemes I could vote now again?

Sailor Steve · 12-22-07, 04:51 PM

I've had that happen with several of these. Apparently if the thread is left open long enough you get 'unvoted'.

TomcatMVD · 12-23-07, 10:52 AM

I try not to dock at the same pen, because of that bug I've heard a couple of times.
If coming in at night, I might fire some starshells... I figured this might not be really realistic... but it's fun.
I only docked astern once... don't know why I don't do it that way anymore... I'll start doing it from now on.
What's the speed setting you guys use? I switch to the knotmeter and enter the pen at 3 knots, then reduce to 1 when almost half the boat has gone through and then order a "back slow" untill 0 knots (I might even man the CE post so as not to have the normal delay)... ooops... I think that'll have to change if I start doing it backwards!
