[REL] Dark Waters

gb027 · 06-26-23, 03:24 AM

Have installed ‘Dark Waters’ and I am very impressed by the graphics and make over from OM! One question , can anyone tell me what the Blue pencil in the attack map screen does? The red pencil can be used to make x marks. Not sure what to do with the blue pencil. Thanks.

One of the pencils can be used to call on scout aircraft. You either click on the pencil, then an airbase and draw a line toward where you want the search, or the other way around... sigh - a mind is a terrible thing to lose...

forget the pencil.
click on the airbase, then click where you want them to patrol.
there are limits/restrictions/exclusions to the range of the a/c and it is all built-into the the game parms by the time you get to this point.

Thanks for the reply. I’m used to sending scouts out in OM. So it’s the same method in Dark Waters. The blue pencil confused me!

After a long time I noticed 1 interesting thing. I am not sure it is due to this mod, but while submerged my batteries can work infinitely. 1-2% of batteries stays forever. I am not checked it for a weeks, but I spent some days under water (i disabled co2 to test) with working engines and I still could sail. Sure, in my setting I do not have infinite batteries.

that is an SH4 game feature. a Kaleun cannot truly exhaust his batteries totally.

Not a big problem. But this is sad you can use the engine
