Days on Patrol

1480 · 10-29-11, 11:25 AM

@Frau, mid patrol orders need gwx to work. I may have worded things a bit funny, my bad.

@V K, I had a bit of a problem with the install of the the mods side of JGME. I had to pull the individual folders out of the M P O. It showed up as MODS in the game JGME, rather than the individual areas of operation, like the readme says to activate individually, otherwise it might send a type II to the east coast of the states

.

You know you did it right when you see the titles of the six sub folders in the JGME. Then you just activate the one that you need for that particular mission when you launch SH3 commander. You need to activate it on the Commander JGME before your game JGME will recognize it.

Sorry I did this half-a$$ backwards, but I need a nap.

For me , it is basic to reach my patrol area.
Since Bdu sent me there , there must be a reason.
Next factor is torpedoes and fuel.
My longest patrol is a 102 days sortie with a IXC at Capetown.

My God, you crew would have smelled worse than the Chicago river during the summer....

Ok. Weird. I started a new boat and crew, U-19, Type IIA, and I hit a button and found myself in the galley looking at pots etc. and across a bunk ... now for the life of me I cannot recall how to get to it again???

Heeeelp appreciated. I am into immersion and I am hungry and then need to hit the rack before saving!!!

Hi Pappy,

If you have GWX Integrated Orders, that's how to get the bunk with one button -- I think it's under the L.I. (Engineer's) commands, a button with a Kaleun's cap. Then you get choices: the UZO or Binocs, or the bunk view.

Alternatively, from the Zentrale (Control Rm) station, look aft and move the cursor till the word "Heckraum" appears (I'm using the German text), and quickly click on it. It can be hard to get that link to click -- sometimes it's easier when the boat's rocking, so other things move out of the way.

And another way: Shift + F2 gives you the internal free cam, so you can "walk" there from the other stations. Very cool. Just don't roam outside the hull.

Gute Jagd und Schlafen!

Imagine the condition I would be in if I ever manage (in game) to complete this:

206 days at sea in a single patrol!
It is in my "to do" list.

PappyCain · 10-30-11, 02:59 AM

Hi Schöneboom ,

Thanks! shift F2 did it for me quickly!

Call me goofy but psychologically I find my immersion style comforting to me. Having spent time aboard vessels the sounds of the engines, the sea, etc. all have a calming effect on me so I take it to the extreme! LOL

Before I shut down, I like to position my crew manually as I do throughout the patrol. And, I like to climb into my bunk so to speak when I close it down - then I climb into my real bunk. LOL

Above is the view when I 'hit the rack' ...

Kentrat's was even longer

IXD2s brought me some long ones. I believe my personal record was 190 days (spent in large part in the Indian Ocean).

Averaging a bag every 20 days, not so bad on morale.

Over 100 days average between bags, my Luger would have been strapped to my side at all times

.

I believe my longest patrol was in the fifties. In 1939, was able to use the gun for quite of few of my boot's bags.

You have a lot more patience than I good sir!

PappyCain · 10-30-11, 02:43 PM

I wish we had a 'provisions' add-on mod in SH3 Cmdr. so when we ran low on pickled pigs feet and pickled eggs we would have to head home.
Just a bit more immersion ...

"Herr Kaleun, we have rations for only 9 more days"
"No problem Gunter, we will scrape the hull keel and make soup"

"Herr Kaleun, we have 2 days toilet paper in reserve"
"No problem Gunter, pass out spoons, forks and knives"

"Herr Kaleun, both heads have stopped functioning!"
"No problem Gunter, serve "dump-lings"

If you use a IXD2 to circumnavigate the globe (while you pass through some nice target areas, it's not a very efficient patrol) I did it in around 180 or so days. Boy was everyone glad to get off that boat the moment we docked and shower, and get some real food and beer.

I wanted to do that but I gave it up.
What was your route?

PappyCain · 11-17-11, 02:36 PM

Dud torpedoes were filled blood sausage and offal by the crew ... that allowed them to sail home sooner! True! I would not make that up!

Actually there is a non-GWX version.

None taken, I made the mistake and it should be corrected.
