also, does this mod seems to be a graphic mod AND a gameplay mod. so does it have things like FM_Newinteriors and environment enhancements? Thanks!

I gave the deck gun crew orders to engage the nearest warship and they pounded the closest German destroyer!

Is this a bug in GFX3 or is it in the stock version also?

Aviar, it's been a while for me, but I believe you can tell the deck gunner which ship to target by looking at the enemy ship through the binoculars and hitting the Space Bar. That should mark the target with a green indicator (you can see in the binocular view) and they will immediately fire on that target until it sinks, they run out of ammunition, or you tell them to fire on something else. If they do sink the targeted ship, you need to tell them to cease fire or give them another target right away, or else they will once again fire on the nearest ship.

Hope this works for you.

Thanks. I did know that, but this was such an obvious bug and I was surprised that it was never addressed.

I don't think GWX addressed targetting, so it's probably a stock bug, just like the 'Friendly Fire' bug that turns a friendly ship into an enemy if the AI shoots it.

I have some questions about the sub radar in GWX3. The manual states:

"GWX adds a [Shift]-R command allowing players toggle the radar on and off. Turning the radar off also retracts the radar antenna, allowing players to retract the radar manually into its proper position before the U-boat dives as the antenna aligns with its storage location in the conning tower."

Using that command does nothing for me and the radar antenna keeps rotating. Also, I can't seem to do anything with the radar using the menu commands either. I can't turn it on/off or do a search. None of the radar icons are 'lit' so when I click on them nothing happens.

Also, if I ever do get the radar working, is it for air contacts or surface contacts?

*I'm playing single missions in a Type IXC sub, if that matters at all.

Hi all, been away for ages, now returned and starting up a fresh install and play of SH3.

Took a while to find a working link to 3.0.. but got it and its going to take a while to DL at this rate.

Happy 2012 to all, and happy subbing.

Welcome back!

Did you use the one from Jimbuna's sig? All others may be corrupted.

Aviar · 01-08-12, 02:44 PM

So nobody has a reply for my radar question?

I believe it's a radar warning, not a radar. But even then, rwr wasnt developed till later as a reaction to the allies even having radar. It doesn't do anything till later in the war. We are talking about the spinning Ring right?

The radar looks like a spinning grill.

Aviar · 01-08-12, 11:37 PM

My bad. I thought the round rotating RDF loop was the radar. So far I have only been playing single missions and have never seen a sub with radar.

Maybe there's no way to equip a sub with radar in single missions.
