I have no reason to doubt the stories about the drone controllers.

Wow.

Can't help but respect the investment you put into that research.

That's not hard to fix. A month's worth of dirty socks with diesel fuel added and put under yer desk would do the trick. LOL

Quite a story. I don't think I could do it.... I'd be kicking the cats for relief. LOL IMO, you deserve a real Iron Cross with gold oak leaves and diamonds for playing with no TC.

It was actually pretty foolish on my part. Had I invested more time and intensity into the experiment, the effects could have been more pronounced. To be fair, there were other motivations for the experiment. In short, I would not recommend that anyone try this. TC is your friend.

SHO sorry i'm new to this site, i couldnt figgure out how to post a new thread.

i don't know how to plot a search pattern and i think it is making my game mess up, as soon as i sink a ship it sends me back to port and i think it is because i didnt plot a search pattern, all i did was just plot points around where they wanted me to search. i couldn't figgure out how to plot one. thank you in advance, and if this wasn't clear i am just wondering how to plot a search pattern.

Hi and welcome!

There is no need to plot a specific search pattern, I also plot around. Except now with Real navigation it takes much more effort

Something else is wrong with your game, do you have mods? I've never experienced that kind of bug, hope someone else can help you out!

This definately sounds like a bug (or hardware issue?) and you will have more luck getting help if you start a new thread; use this button here:



Good luck.

Welcome to Subsim.

As troopie said, you will have better luck making a new thread on this. Technically, your question can be considered a thread hijack as it has nothing to do with the topic.

Default Patience

I have tried through SH2,3,4, and 5 to be as realistic as possible. To date I have not completed any campaign due to the slow pace. Today I us 32x with the automated scripts by Trevally and others. (New UI by DarkWraith) that allows me to let things run knowing a search will be done after each 2 hrs at 32x speed.

I also have a baby monitor set up so I can roam the house and listen to the sounds and hopefully catch the alarm calls before getting sunk. So far so good.

My other method is to run at 1 TC until I get fed up and then zoom ahead for a few minutes before saving and shutting down.

Welcome to the forum, and enjoy the game!

If you using no cheats (means 100% realism with no 3rd person view and no contact updates) and if you are using the IRAI-mod then i am interested in the story.
