Can't help with your problem, but I can welcome you aboard

Few questions...

You do have GWX installed yes?

How new is your crew?

Do you have an officer on the bridge? Do you have a full watch set, or are you manning the flak gun all the time?

What year is it? Late in the war, the aircrews get better and they discover the magic of radar. Most of the battle evading airpower is spotting it first, and being able to dive. If they are seeing/detecting you first (and possibly BVR), they could be on top of you before your crew notices them.

Yes GWX Gold with Lite Harbor Traffic and 16km atmosphere mods and WSM 3.0 (GeI), all my crew have at least 1 year in war experience, and they have all the possible medals that I can give them, except wounded badge. My officer is on the bridge all time including 2 petty officers with watch ability and 2 more sailors.

And I can't dive, since I'm using Warship MOD 3.0 as it's show in the title.

I was using Bismarck class battleship, and right after I noticed the aircraft I put all sailors manning the flak and main/secondary guns (since some secondary guns are dual purpose). And even with "full" efficiency on the "watch tower" they couldn't spot the planes very well, as I said, only after they are very close or after they had released all their bombs at the ship. Reinstalling the game and the GWX do not work.

And the year is 1944, January. I even tried making one more petty officer with watch ability but it just doesn't work out. The only way I found to effectively find planes was on a campaign that I made to 1945's where I installed a radar signal warning ( I don't know the name of the equipement ) then I could spot the radar signals of the planes and then the stupid WO started finding the bloody planes before they could screw my patrol.

I'm playing normaly right now with u-boats because have to return all the time to the harbor because I keep getting bombed all time by planes and flooding isn't that realy fun. If I could at least fight back then I would really enjoy the mod. And I really dont know what happens that at least one of the bombs always manage to hit me close to the water line. That pisses me off because I keep flooding. I just feel lucky that they don't have torpedoes.

Hope someone can help me out. Thanks for replying Herr-Berbunch and Gargamel.

I've used WSM 3.0 quite a bit, and I've experienced the aircraft spotting issue a few times. Perhaps the ships structure itself blocks lookouts from being able to see aircraft. The watch members standing within the bridge itself would be the most affected, leaving only the crewmen out on the bridge wings able to spot. Not 100% because I'm not savvy enough with the mechanics of the game's AI spotting behavior.

The only ships I noticed this problem with were the Battleships and Heavy Crusiers. Never had an issue while Captaining one of the Destroyers.

Yes I thought that would be the problem too, but sometimes the planes come from the from of the ship and the watchmen still dont spot them.

I will try playing more with destroyers and maybe with the Graf Zepellin and see if it is true. Thanks for the help Gereke.

I have had the blind watch crew problems with this mod.

Be nice if I could play it at the mo but it hasnt gone well on my new windows 7 set up. Any ideas why I have no guns at all. Kind of spoils it not being able to shoot at a thing when in command of the Bismark.

I had the exactaly same problem, then I found out that I only had activated the "GeI" mod only. To make it work it must have "WSM 3.0" AND "GeI" mods activated at the same time.

When you try to activate the "GeI" mod some message appears that the files have been already modified by "WSM 3.0" mod, but just accept it anyway. And then join the same pain that I have being bombed by planes that the stupid WO and the entire crew can't see.

Hope this has helped ya.

More one thing: Anyone that has ever played with the Warship MOD 3.0 had issues with the ship graphics? My Type 1936 entire ship and the Deutschland secondary turres looks like they were made of scrap metal, literally, and they forgot to paint it.

It's a pain to see such a beautiful ship as the Deutschland with those crap turrets. I will post a SS later and maybe somebody can help me out. (Reinstalling doesn't work)
