If you finish your patrol too early select, "End Patrol" go to the officer and start the new patrol even though it will still be your old one. When on the bridge go to the "Anchor icon" and select "End Patrol" Go back to the officer and repeat until you have made up enough days to start your new mission.

If you are using TDW new UI, by making changes in TDW's "Generic File Patcher" you also change the patch "Decks Awash" from false to true in TDW's "Options File Editor" you will then be able to select from one of the sub icons on the left side "Decks Awash" This will then reduce your silhouette on the surface while still running your diesel engines and with your crew on deck.

Hi Guys,

I'm pretty new to this sim, and to SH in general, I've played SHII several years ago, but only just for fun, not too much realism.
Now it's a ton of fun to learn the sim again, one thing that would help me a lot if I could see the torpedo on the tactical map to see if I'm miscalculating my torp resolution with manual TDC.

Is there a way to enable torpedo visibility on the tactical map for Sober's megamod list?

Thanks

Hi folks. Been playing about two weeks. I've gotten manual TDC down well. I can't seem to hit anything with Auto TDC. I consistently shoot ahead of the moving target at ranges of 3000 meters and above.

I've focused on getting all parameters correct and adjusting AoB as the target moves. Despite several days of trying I am still shooting consistently in front of the target.

My last attempt was to plot a point along the target path that is 3k meters and adjusting AoB just before (game paused) and then firing as target hits my marker. I still shoot in front of target. These are mostly warships moving at about 17 knots.

Can't figure out how to hit at that range with auto. Any advice appreciated.

Do not give any points to the torpedo man that affects the torpedo speeds etc as this will corrupt your firing
You need the torpedo patches enabled in TDW,s Generic File Patcher
If you are using FX Update 0_0_22 you also need to select the additional patch that comes with the mod. there is a stock patch and a modified patch for TDW,s Patcher as well as others but you only select one depending on you game play.

Thanks for the reply. I will explore these.

Hello all! I'd like to introduce myself as I'm new here and I'm starting
my adventure with Silent Hunter. I'm rather keen on with flight simulators. However, I remember SH3 as a game of my childhood

after many many years I decided to come back to SH sims with serious purposes.

However, my first problem is an fluency in SH5. It works really poor with my computer:
- i7 3612QM (4x 2,1 GHz)
- Nvidia GeForce 740M
- 4 GB RAM memory
I have to add I'm using Windows 8.1 Pro N

Is there any optimisation patch for SH5? Any mods?

Aktungbby · 01-18-14, 09:29 PM

Welcome aboard ASHILL2141

The 4 GB is a little light, virtual memory can be increased however to offset that as well as installing additional RAM. Start with Fifi's or Sober's mod list and precise order to start; using JSGME to unzip from. read c-a-r-e-f-u-l-l-y! good hunting! ask away here on any game issue.

Do firing angles and torpedo speed settings affect dud chance?

Thank you Aktungbby. Increasing RAM memory in my notebook is quite problematic. However, nothing is impossible. And of course I will try to use mod list which you mentioned. Thanks!
