NYGM Tonnage War (official thread)

[jlwalker]

Hello to all who created NYGM Tonnage 2.0 Mod,

I just wanted to say Great Work. You folks have improved SH3 and have given the game a new dimension. Since NYGM Tonnage 2.0 is new, I noticed there are 6 WAW Training missions under the Single Mission section. I also noticed that once the mission is completed there is no indication that the Primary objective or the secondary objectives have been completed. Maybe this is a bug that may have been missed in the testing stage. Has anyone else observed this problem and will there be a fix in the next upgrade?

Thanks again for a job well done.

Does NYGM 2 model a difference between early and late war DC's and HH's ?

I am noticing a radical increase in ordinance lethality between the J's in Barham mission, and the Evarts's in 505. In one I feel like I wearing Platemail, in the other just my Soiled Silk PJ's. Just looking for confirmation and passing the notice along.

What takes the 8 J classes 2 hours real time to do, the 1 Evart is doing in 2 minutes - or less.

Driving the same boat, same crew.

You can change all the time compression settings in the Gameplay.cfg file (I think). Actually though it's much easier to use SH3 Commander, which allows you to change just about anything with the click of a button. Look for Time Compression: When Near Land. I set mine for 64; any faster and you run a serious risk of wrecking yourself, which is why they set it so low in the first place.

Thanks for the great mod!

Is there any chance to get a crew on the conning tower of the U-Tanker? I like to use them for resupplying, especially I like closing in and watching them from my tower. Without a crew they look like ghost ships in the Atlantic. I think the crew adds lots of immersion. So this would be very nice.

Anyway, great mod!

Cheers, LGN1

I think that we will have to sack CCIP :rotfl:

A lot of the missions are designed to be played in conjunction to WaW where the player does these in pre-war trials etc.

Also, when the mission does not require a vessel to be sunk then the only other objective is reach a certain spot.

I hope that this answers your question satisfactorally

To exapand upons Sailor Steves answer...

open the main.cfg in My Documents\SH3\data\cfg

In there set the value LandProximity= to a value that you are happy with.

This is my Main.cfg
[TIME COMPRESSION]
TimeStop=0
RealTime=1
LandProximity=256
CriticalDamage=1
CrewEfficiency=0
AirEnemyDetected=1
SoundEffects=16
CharacterAnim=4
EnemyDetected=1
RadioReport=1
Particles=8
PrayState=128
HunterState=128
3DRender=128
Maximum=128

There is only 1 value sets for all depth charges and/or hedge hogs.

Can you send me a PM with greater detail of your 2 missions and then I will investigate.

The version number is on the main menu and is in the text that scrolls accross the bottom of the screen from the right to the left.

When ever I try to get a weather report from the watch officer it says "Watch Station not manned"
That's not possible because I have a full watch crew on deck.


Any ideas?

Thanks

edit: forgot that it used to be the navigation officer to report the weather, not the watch officer..
my bad

OK thanks for the answer, it is quite possible that what I am seeing is attributable to the sheer firepower of the Evarts, not even counting the HH's. The J's almost have to be lucky to hit you even when they know exactly where you are... very thin DC dispersal by comparison.
