What's the realism of when you play,

4000tc!!?

Holy Hell boy!

Slow down smell the diesel fumes....

haha yea 4000x i didnt know it harms my game. im doing 128-256 now.

realism used to be 84% now I toned it down to 65%. I like it difficult, I get bored fast if I sink lots of ships. I just restarted the campaign and managed to get out of biscay unharmed but I had to crash dive many times and I took out a b24. waiting for a escort carrier to home in on my radar so i can get my revenge.

It sounds good, but use low-TC or real time which is best,

Wow, not to often you come across someone who's happy about being destroyed. I think I'll take a screen shot!

I was playing at 1k/2k until I recenty read a thread on here talking about how 128 should be the max , otherwise you will miss out on contacts/aircraft etc

the moment I started at 128 , approaching the english channel from the east , I see a formation of He-111's flying over....what a sight !

halfway thru the channel I was divebombed twice by an Anson , he flew off without even scratching my paintwork

Ive seen lots of aircraft since then too...the game is much more enjoyable a this speed I think

Lower TC is the best, or nothing at all like I mentioned earlier,

Would have been a shame to miss that. Glad you're finding it more fun!

I did not know that tc can affect game this much. From now on only small or none tc for me.
Thanks guys for the refreshing info...

Wait until he learns that it is possible for the player to hear contacts on the hydrophone almost twice as far as the AI sonarman. That slowed down my play a huge amount.

Dive
All stop
Scan 360 degrees
Ahead standard
Surface the ship
Cruise 1 - 2 hours at 32 - 64 TC

repeat

In aircraft prone areas the TC is 8 - 16

It sometimes takes me 2 -3 gaming sessions to even get to my patrol area.

There is a 'no deaf sonarman' fix available for GWX. It adjusts the values in the Sensor.dat file and purports to improve the detection range considerably.

Any chance of a link?

Osmium Steele · 05-11-11, 07:49 AM

DOH! Thanks!

Edit: couldn't find any definitive mod out there. Still checking for mods to sensor.dat...

Happy to oblige:

The 'fix' claims to increase the crew detection range to 25km (as taking it to a full 30 evidently breaks the "follow nearest contact" order).

I think the DL link is dead, but if anyone is interested they can get it here:

Hope it helps!

Edit: Just looking through the mod, there is a Sensors.dat (in the optional folder) that takes the crew to the same hardcoded limit as the player - 30 km each. Worth testing, have fun!
