Hello, I would need assistance.

Is there a reason I cant seem to play with the 10th flotilla, cant turn it on in SH3 commander nor in game without it, its nowhere to be found. I don't know if its related but when I select the 12th flotilla in S3 commander and click on the info about it, under bases its says
Bases:
02.42 to 08.43 - Lorient
09.43 to 10.44 - Error!
11.44 to 05.45 - Error!
And when i try to play with the 12th flotilla starting year 1944, I get spawned in the South Atlantic south of Lagos.

I am running on GWX3 and turned off all mods except GWX Merged Campaign and Supplement to V16B1.

It sounds to me like you either have a botched installation or the remnants of a standalone mod still in your installation.

You could check that you have 'Rollback automatically after exiting SH3' enabled in the SH3Commander general settings.

Below are screenshots of 10th ans 12th Flotilla availability dates in GWX3/Gold.

Thank you, it seems the issue was in the en_menu.txt, I manage to overwrite it with something I shouldn't have.
I have to say installing mods for this is as fun as playing it.

I had something similar where my patrol began at the equator and I got a base error- I solved it by asking for a transfer at the end of the mission....

I do not feel the threat from depth charges, I think their range is too low, it is not necessary to pierce a solid hull to inflict damage. What do you think about this?

SH3 + GWX

how to increase the radius of destruction by depth charges?

The easiest way is to just copy the depth charge files from stock into your install. Stock depth charges have a larger radius, etc.

The harder way is to use S3D to edit the values you desire.

Notes: - I think the modded charges are to weak too. One of those instances of putting in real world specs vs. gameplay one imo.
- the depth charge files are found in path <game install>data\library.

Hello, I have a question why cargo ships can see me at night from a distance of 6000m

Because unless it is changed, they use the same sensors as the escorts. One size fits all, i.e.
Post your mod list.
