CTD

lol

welcome to sh3

I just spent twelve game hours stalking an NYGM convoy/playing cat and mouse with a port side escort the entire time.
Fair weather, cloudy, perfect for a night surface attack.

Night comes, pack is assembled. Just as I'm getting into attack position, the weather breaks and the sky clears !
Went from perfect surface attack conditions to bright, clear night with an escort close by !

The pack had struck already (sunk five so far), and I find myself in the midst of ships trying to escape, including a carrier !
But the escort nearest me was drawn off by the pack anyway.

Ships getting hit, escorts engaging the pack, other ships trying to get away and me just trying to not be seen/run over by any of them now, with no chance to fire without a major change of plan which I may not get the chance to do.

You think a ctd is frustrating ! Shadow/report a convoy for twelve game hours and not one shot yet, lol.

Fwiw, I'd recommend a new install of sh3 1.4/gwx with only the Hsie patch extra.

No other mods. Get that working and go from there. If you do, use the 4gb patch with Hsie's patch.
