Decks awash stealth benefits don't exist in Sh3. It's the same as being on the surface with less mobility and more fuel consumption.

I have found that the only benefit to decks awash is when there are heavy air patrols. You can crash dive much faster. Good for charging batteries. Also only works in good weather.

I disagree, but I have no proof other than it seems to work. Anybody want to run a study?

And I use the fuel economy and decks awash mod. So I just hit I and info decks awash.

Don't forget this is SH3, where running all day on batteries and then recharging them actually increases fuel economy.

Well I've learned quite a bit from this exchange so far...

CTD while loading fix. (It has worked for me for nearly a year now)

1. Right click on your main SH3 folder and bring up the properties menu.

2. Uncheck the read-only box. When it asks, tell it to uncheck all sub-folders too.

I used to regularly CTD if I saved within detection range of a convoy, too close to land, submerged, etc. I have had no problem with CTD while loading since I made this single change.

I have gone so far as to save while submerged directly under a 20+ ship convoy, and numerous other places which would have been death prior to making the change.

Some will tell you it doesn't work, or might be risky. I have had no ill effects on my game with this change in place.

It is worth a try.

I'd really like to 'learnify' how to take a screen shot, while using the res fix, without getting a ctd

Best regards.

I usually use IrfanView for screen captures.

Sure would like to know what I am doing right, then I could share. I have been using res fix for a long time now and have never had a CTD when pressing the Print Screen key. The only time I had a problem with it was when I configured it to use the maximum resolution of my monitor (1280 x 1024), I now use 1280 x 960 and it works just fine.
