Need help buying new naval game

yes, 1.4b is the last and only patch you will need. If you got a downloaded version of SH3, then you'll need the downloaded version of 1.4b. If you have a DVD, then you need the DVD version, and Europe or U.S. accordingly as well.

Ok I got an hour or so on SH3 and havent red directions or took the course but i figured out some stuff and cut a destroyer in half hehe my question is; I am on super easy mode and when i target through periscope and the little arrow on the ship can be yellow red orange and green. im guessing green means your going to take her down and yellow means maybe and red would be a miss or something but can you still lead the target some and make the arrow disappear and take a shot or do you have to get in position for a green arrow? I just need some details on the arrow. im trying to teach dad and he hasnt touched it yet until he sees me get better.

Oh yeah if you start out with 8 torps does that mean thats it? can you reload? i seem to run out and they dont replentish is that true or will they always replentish?

The arrow is your angle on bow, basically the angle that the target would see you at if someone was standing in the middle.

Your torpedoes reload automatically as long as you aren't running silent. You have several fish on top that you have to manually drag to internal storage using the weapon screen when you're surfaced.

Hope that helps!

so there is unlimited torps or just 8 or so. i tried dragging in torps but all bays were empty and it didnt work. The color of arrow is how good the angle is for the shot?

You don't have unlimited amount of torpedoes. Only what the boat can carry. You will need to return to port or a resupply boat to get more.
Press the "I" key to see what's left on your boat. Once you've used up some fish, you'll need to slide the reserves over to load more. You must be surfaced to load the external ones.
And you can't be running silent while doing any of this. (And the bigger boats carry more than the smaller ones)
The colors of the arrows basically indicate your chances of hitting the ship. Green for best, Red for worst.
