Silent Hunter 5 Tactics & Tips - "How do I?" & FAQ! READ IF YOU ARE STUCK

[Muppet_Lugshoite]

Two silly questions.... can't find them in the game manual...

1). How do you open the recognition manual???

Tried the "N" key but nothing? Has it something to do with realism settings?

Have tried several things (am using voice command mod and have tried "Identify Target", this appears in the log bottom right but nothing else).

2). How do you plot a search pattern? I can do it manually but looking at the voice mod commands there is actually a game command "plot search pattern one". Doesn't seem to work though and don't know the mapped key.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!!

Which voice mod with Identify Target do you have? I have noticed a LOT of options from SHIII now gone in SHV. Also, the key map that you can look at isn't even close to accurate. Half of the buttons don't do what they say they do.

In the stock game, the recognition manual comes up when you lock onto a target. The XO will give you a line of dialog with various options underscored. Click on the option that states Unknown Freighter (or something like that) and the manual opens up. This will allow you to flip through the pages and click the check box of the ship you're targeting.

There is an Improved Recongition Manual mod which has the manual tucked off to the left side of the screen. This manual works like the one in SH3.

As for the Plot Search Pattern: as far as I know, this has to be done manually.

Sooo I'm one cross short of finishing the first campaign, all objectives completed, what do I have to do? Someone here mentioned I have to wait until March 1st? Have to check my date.

Hi all,

I'm new to posting on this board so please forgive any errors in protocol. . . I've been ordered to land an agent near Londonberry. I approach as closely as possible to the landing point (which is located inland) and stop within 200m of the shore. I am unable to find out how to get this guy off of my boat. None of my my officers' dialog boxes appears to have an order for it and I have waited all night for the agent to leave the boat. Is there some action that I should be taking? Thanks in advance.

Operation Weserubung appears on the map in March 1940. If it's earlier than that just patrol around till the date is reached.
