Default Taking damage before I've even moved!

Evening all,

Strange one this. All of a sudden, every time I put to sea I instantly get the message "CE: Sonar Destroyed, Sir!" I'm using SH3Commander and have selected the option to start at sea rather than in my home base.

Any ideas anyone?

cheers
Paul

I remember having that message while I was playing stock game, later in the war. But the sonar actualy worked, despite that message.

What mods do you have installed? If I'm not mistaken, the GWX fixed that.

No mods Meduza. Thanks though - I hadn't actually thought to see if it still worked.


cheers

If you're using GWX 2.0 or 2.1, you need to enable the "Late War Sensors" mod. This fixes the stock bug in SH3 that affects radar and sonar in u-boats from 1943-1945.

Using GWX 2.1 as an exmaple:
In your enabled mods list, it goes in first....

Late War Sensors
Merged Campaigns
AOTD-AA-Ship-Schleuse-Bugfix
Community Units
etc...

Hope this helps. I've noticed several others having this same issue.

RTFM.

Thanks. I'm not using GWX yet, but it does happen to be 1943 for me..
