Q on Graphics

Yeah I found that out mate, changed setting while at sea. Also found that if you click on refit, you cant end patrol.

Gee this game is a constant learning curve

BTW, last night I really got in to a convoy near Edinburgh.

Sank 3 from memory, and had another 6 dead in the water and burning.
Any way the escorts got on to me and gave me a bollocking, and I think what really saved me was the shallow depth I could see the DC's going right to the sea bed and exploding there.

I had flooding, but only in the control room, water was nearly knee deep, but there was no flooding anywhere else in the boat.

Is this normal or maybe a bug ?

Depending where the depth charge detonates sorta determines which compartment will flood. Whenever depth charges begin falling I run through the ship closing all the hatch doors so if a section begins taking in water it will not spill over into the other compartments.

That reminds me, how come when you go to battle stations the hatches aren't shut automatically, as in real life ?

Well I screwed up royally last night. Had TC up high comming back to Kiel. Ended up embedding the boat in the waharf, though I couldn't see it on external camera, just on the map.

Tried backing out, and ended up with massive flooding and sinking. End of campain.

They will shut if you enable a patch or mine for this. See my sh5.exe patches to fix bugs and add functionality thread

Unless you use Steam like me as the patch will not work

I found that and had a read, alas, I'm none the wiser. The instructions are some what complex for me to comprehend, or in other words... I'm a dummy !

if you read the post, which TDW is talking about, fully, you do not have to manually do all the editing. At the bottom of the post there is a download with a patcher and patches for .exe, SHCollision and SHSim files. You can also go to sober's mod thread, where he listed a video, made by one of the members of the community, on how to use the patcher.
