If you're going to use mods (and SH5 needs them), JSGME is essential, IMO. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area. Send me a PM and let's see if we can hook up over the phone and I can walk you through the process. Mr.Jones has made it reasonably easy!

Talk to you soon!

How do i get rid of that annoying horizontal bar above the ships that appear,especially after you have attacked it with torpedoes,you see that bar appear,i assume it's the damage meter for the ship.Also how do i get rid of the orange marker above the u-boat when I'm underwater?

Karasunx · 11-03-10, 01:45 AM

The horizontal bar is indeed a health/flooding bar for ships. The way to disable it is to go to the options menu when your in the subpen and then disable it in the Realism Menu.
The orange location marker for your submerged sub has to be gotten rid of with a mod. I think you can find it here:

Look in game options/gameplay settings/ ship damage bars .
Most of the larger mods delete the sub marker.

Thanks for that info,i just pulled into kiel to try and dock,but i can only refit,and i have 60% hull integrity,back from my first patrol in the campaign,just wondering why i can't dock?

Look for the sub icon in port , its proobably in Willhelmshaven . Your port has been changed and unfortunately thae part where they tell you was omitted from the game .

hey guys,

I know this question has been answered somewhere, but couldn't find it anymore

The thing I want to do is change the realism during a mission. I went back to the harbor, ended the patrol, saved and quit to the main menu. Then I changed the realism, and continued my campaign. But nothing is changed

Anyone know how I have to do this?

Got a question here for all you SH5 players.

From watching videos on SH5's manual targeting it would appear to me that it isn't so "manual." Would that be a correct statement? It seems like the game does a lot of the calculations for you. Are there any mods that take away these "assists" and makes it more like SH3 or SH4 manual targeting?

you can be full manual targeting if you want to. I would recommend playing the game this way

This is silly but once you start a new carrer , you have to be in the bunker and Esc to go to the options screen when in the bunker . Change realism options then or they wont stick .

Did you find how to resolve this problem?? in stuck in the same situation !!!!!!!!!

thanks

This would be a great game if the ships you need to sink for each mission where actually included in the game play. Northern Blockade only has two ships that actually appear that are considered part of the Northern Blockade advancement bar, but wait if you sink a merchant near the icon it reports "Completed" "new area assigned", but wait again there is no yellow icon now!!!! and if the sunken merchant ship did complete the assigned area why did it not advance the Northern Blockade Bar. Deadline cannot be achieved. 48+ hours of continuous circling of yellow icons with no noticeable advancement is so boring, if the game decides to add one, maybe...maybe not!!!!!

Think I'll just look for sim that delivers simulation rather than confusion and boredom

I'm having one hell of a time finding ships on the open sea to sink.

Don't know how to work radar or hydrophones - I'm a total noob at this game.
