Please help, destroyers cant be sunk.

Hans-Ulrich Rudel · 03-14-07, 04:06 AM

I am having problems with SH3 Grey Wolves, please help!
I used to be able to sink destroyers with torpedos, now I can not.
I once sunk 9 destroyers on one mission.
Now I can hit a destroyer many times and either the torpedo will not go
Off or it will go straight through the ship and not go off, I have set the depth
correctly!
Often ships sunk will not be displayed on captains log book.
Sending me on patrols with a blank patrol order.
Not being able to view medals, or desk log.
Please help.

this really sounds like you have a bad install to me with all the stuff thats going on in your game, personally i would try a reinstall altogether imho.

andy_311 · 03-14-07, 07:32 AM

In Grey Wolves there are a couple of destroyers that are skimming the water,if you take a close look they are litrally out of the water you can see there props what I found out is if you set the torpedo to magnetic and a depth of 0 that will take care of them.

Kumando · 03-14-07, 07:38 AM

And why do you want to hunt destroyers in the first place? Its not your mission, your mission is to hunt merchant ships, you shouldnt waste torpedoes with destroyers. And by the way welcome aboard

dont hunt DD's (Destroyers) its a bad idea..go for the merchants

and welcome to subsim m8

Mooncatt · 03-14-07, 08:38 AM

yup starting fights with destroyers means they can fight back merchies cant and weigh lots more = more renown. also picking fights with dds is like hitting a bee hive with a big stick.......ill leave you to work out what happens next :hmm:
and welcome btw

Mush Martin · 03-14-07, 08:39 AM

I begrudge they are right hunting dd's of limited value.
Hunting ASW frigates is more sporting.

Hans posted a question about using a certain mod, and looking to enjoy the game and play it as he wants to. Why would some feel it is nessesary to question him and discourage this, I don't get that.

If what andy posted is correct then I would suggest make your adjustments and go right on taking out DD's if the oppertunity presents itself. DD takes downs might not be much tonnage but it's awsome fun!

I heard that ubisoft will increase the price for SHIV....SHIII was made just to get people hooked...:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Pevs86 · 03-14-07, 09:34 AM

The only thing that I can see explaining the DD problem is depth, only 1-2meters needed there.

The only thing I can see explainin the Log book, etc, problems is that you're not docked at your home base and have docked somewhere else perhaps?

If none of the above I'm affraid it sounds like a corrupt instal, and if I were you I'd redo the whole thing mate

Hans-Ulrich Rudel · 03-14-07, 03:03 PM

I had to do a full install, but managed to loose a player, bummer as he had 350,000 tonns. In case you all dont know Hans-Urich Rudel was the most decorated soilder of Germany in WW2. Have a look on the web there is heaps about him. An amazing man!!

I only sink destroyers because I have to, they go nuts when I sneek up and attack a convoy. Usually I found it impossible to sneek up on a convoy, but after a new install, I attacked a convoy, and the destroyers just ignored me, hmm the seas were very rough, but still, before the new install I would have to wipe ouy all the destroyers to even get within 3000 Mt of a convoy, I will try to set the torpedo at zero and magnetic only. By the way Scarpa Flow always has good tonnage, I find it very funny, when destoyers manage to sink themselves. I had a good moment the other night when I attacked a convoy on the surface with the deck gun, lol I sunk destroyers with my deck gun, mind you I have set it to fire at one seconed intervals. Thanks again guys and girls. Hmm many women playing SH3?
