New GWX problem.. It freezes?

09-18-10, 02:18 AM

As of right now I am getting my new U 19's feet wet (diving her for the first time, I got out of kiel and am annoyed by TC stopping every 15 seconds because of (ship spotted) at least I wont need it until I get to enemy waters (AN81) so I am going to run her under thewater until I make it close, then MAAAYBe surface hopefully my career will be long and fruitful

im hoping to test GWX's damage system out soon and see how she works

depending on your realism settings, you may run into trouble with this unless you're got the "unlimited batteries" ticked, (not sure whether there is an "unlimited air" box too) - basically your sub isn't great at travelling long distances underwater early in the war as you run out of battery power and air .
do this set 1024 TC, go make a cup of tea and you could come back to another dead crew!!
later in the war, you get snorkals which allow you travel submerged at a shallow depth, but I think you said in earlier posts you were in 1939..

finally, it won't solve your issue of dropping out of high TC, as your hydrophone will pick up sound contacts better than your watch pick up visual ones, you would need to unman the hydophone station to make this plan work.

better plan is to use the "start at sea" option in SH Commander and that way you will miss most of the traffic, although that does mean you can't use the kiel canal unless you plot it manually

I have unlimited all. I am working my way up on the realism scale first, first things first is learning positioning and evasion, then addding the realism in bit by bit.

well, that's what makes SH3 so great, you go at your own pace.
I still can't give up my auto-targetting, whenever I take it off, doing all that extra work myself just reduced how much I enjoy the game

yup. Im getting ready to sink my first merchant now

however I wanted to put electric Torpedoes in the U boat and forgot :O how stupid of me.. I think Im going to use impacts since the last report I got was from a U boat saying how his Magnetics exploded early.
