Again with the negative waves so early in the morning...lol

for all the Beautiful people baby.

WWII's "Kelly's Heros" hippie reminds me of all the Korean War vets who didn't get M*A*S*H (which was really about Vietnam.)

I played both Aces and this game at the hardest setting straight out of the box with no issues.

You added this part via edit, but sorry, maybe now I mean offense when I say stop smoking whatever it is you inhale. There was no scope lock on button in SHI as there was in the later games, and with power settings I didn't mean time compression, but the magnification of the scope. Point is, you could only gather range manually with the scope increments when you also had the masthead heights, which you could only have when you printed out a hard copy of the table someone made back then.

Sorry, but you either have a very poor memory of the game or are just making things up as you go, but I wouldn't see why. Anyway, the game you describe never existed. At best you are confusing it with SHIII.

Hey I may be wrong about SH1. I have no problem with that. I'm just sick of hearing how the chronometer not working makes the game more realistic. You are trying to say that subs never sailed with weapons officers and navigators to give the capt the info he wanted.

Sure in SH1 I gave all the info to TDC but I remember it being very easy to do on full manual I never used auto anything and hit my targets 95% of the time. Where I cheated was always setting my torpedos to run 10 feet shallower then what was reccomended.

Like I said I'm just tired of hearing that we don't need this feature and everything is working as intended.

It says to hit the mark button or the space bar to lock the target.The scope wouldn't lock on it but the TDC did.

Thank you. That clarifies a lot. You made SHI look better than it in fact was which in turn makes SHIV look worse than it is.

Actually, I personally find your point about SHIV valid and could have done without the fairy tales.

P.S. You didn't lock the target via the spacebar, neither in scope nor TDC, but just entered the bearing the scope was looking at. But whatever.

Your manual must be different then mine. My manual says the mark button or spacebar. I havn't played the game since windows took away the DOS shell for DOS game not sure if it was 98 or ME. My trick to get range was if you knew a ship that was 100' high was 6 dashes tall at 6000' It would be 3000' at 12 dashes 1500' at 15 dashes. You were not spot on but it was good enough to get a solution.

I think where I was thinkig of clicking in the scope was because I would mark the dash with my mouse pointer as a reminder since it was easy to count the dashes against the horizon. I didn't have the internet back then so I never downloaded any charts to help me out.

I just did a word search of this entire thread and the only one who mentioned the chronometer was...

wait for it...

you!



You may be arguing with yourself!

I wish the chronometer would be fixed, too. Let's face it, this would be nice...seeing as how the effing manual says it's supposed to work!
