No vulnerabilities shown in targeting manual?

prowler3 · 12-20-11, 12:00 AM

At one point, in my SH life, my ship identification manual had these color coded vulnerabilities for each ship...not as a seperate file but actually using the in game ID manual. I have no idea where I got it and have been unable to find an identification manual mod which shows these vulnerabilities. I don't know if it was WAC or a seperate mod but I sure wish I could find it again.

That looks like it Jim, but I was looking for the mod I swear I used to have which actually replaced the in game Recognition Manual with one showing these vulnerabilities? I don't believe I was hallucinating...but...

A few years back I had a mod installed that showed the coloured sections when you viewed the ship through the periscope within a set distance but I can't remember what it was called.

Yes, that's the guide I found. It's great, but the in-game one would be even better. GWX does not seem to feature it, but some of the youtube plays seem to feature it with the Aces of the Deep mod.

I was hoping there was a simple 'enable vulnerabilities for GWX' mod that I had missed, but I guess that isn't the case.

Just curious, does anyone know why GWX decided to feature deck guns on merchant ships? Is it historical or..? I really enjoyed punching holes, and my poor deck crew ends up .. well.. seriously wounded at best.

Yes it is historical.
From late 1940 and onward merchant ships were receiving increasing number of guns on them ans this is featured in GWX.

Try to attack a Liberty cargo with your deck gun. You will end up dead.
Moreover deck guns were removed from Uboats as they were useless.

So in my n00bish eagerness I have downloaded the PDF and will load it up on the iPhone so I can use it will I'm swimming around. However... Most of the colours are self explanatory, apart from the Blue.

Does the Blue area mean if I get a torpedo there using a magnetic pistol I'll kill it in one go? Or is it more that this is a good place to have your torpedo hit if you want to inflict as much damage as possible?

And with the aim being as much damage with a single blow, would that mean that the best place to put a torpedo would be where the fuel and engine room meets? (Or a nice big ammo magazine on a warship - but I tend to be a chicken and run away from them.)

Red = Fuel Bunker/Tanks?
Yellow = Engine room?
Purple = Ammunition storage?

They're in Vanilla as well, if I'm not mistaken.

I stumbled upon the vulnerabilities in my handbook earlier today... Running GWX 3.0 Gold and Commander.

I was in the Atlantic somewhere and came across a Tramp Steamer (IIRC) and although the areas were not coloured in I noticed there were some boxes within the recognition pictures highlighting the engine room, keel, fuel and rudder/props.

This is the first time I've seen that, and I hadn't noticed it on any other ships during this patrol.

You are not mistaken. I play my own modded version of Vanilla and they are there. GWX and others are just too heavy on resources for my rig.
