SH5, wtf - Page 2

Though it can be frustrating by times, the good things done with SH5 since it's release far outweigh the bad.
Cheers to all the great modders here

God damn, i can hit merchants easily, but really struggling at the moment to hit some destroyers, I'm using the lock unlock technique.

They always just skim the bow and travel past them. Even if i aim for the rear of the ship. Are they hearing the torp coming and slowing down?

You're a u-boat, your job is to sink tonnage to prevent supplies from reaching England or it's armies. You shouldn't be attacking destroyers, that's a job for the surface fleet.

Use your best weapon against destroyers: stealth. Not being seen by them while sinking merchants is worth far more than sinking any number of escorts.

Nah just tried against some other merchant ships, same thing. There's something off with the lock unlock technique still.

Any mods to give SH3 targeting?

If you have been giving your torp man promotion points - this causes your torps to run faster. The faster torps are not taken into account with the auto target. This is why your torps are missing by running in front of the target.

You can fix this with a mod - there are two that will work here.
Sober's crew skills mod
or
Torp speed fix <<<link

Sorry - these are not the correct names - but may help with a search

Cheers, that's fixed it. Lots of metal at the bottom now.

I'm in the med now, and i'm running into the same trouble as this guy.

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...=166051&page=2

If i destroy those dido and kent cruisers i keep seeing, will they stop appearing? I'm sitting waiting in the suggested area, and they just keep popping up in groups all the time. I think it's the same ones cruising around, but i don't know how the game handles it.

I've reloaded saves and had different weather instantly on load, and i've reloaded and went to areas where i've seen a certain ship and it's been completely different. So i'm thinking the game just randomly picks what you're going to see sometimes (and therefore won't matter if i sink those cruisers).

Ok i went back and started the atlantic part instead of in the med. I've managed to get all but 1 star in the total bar, so I'm basically set. However, whenever i try to leave Reykjavik (where i got my last 2 corvette kills) the game crashes. Should i just alter the save somehow to get me through?

edit - Argh, i've tried reattacking, and the same thing happens. It just doesn't want me to leave. I haven't tried leaving without attacking though. So not sure if it's some alertness bug.

edit2 - Yeah, i can leave as long as i don't shoot at anything.
