ahead flank=all stop

[Capt. Shark Bait]

this started last night with my FANG . i'ld hit the 5 button, ahead flank, and i'ld stop and have to click it. now, even that no longer works . no new mods were recently added

[GoldenRivet]

did we just discuss this a few days ago?


SH3 commander user?

malfunctions and sabotage on?

[Capt. Shark Bait]

malfunctions. my crew is quite loyal:rotfl: . went nack to normal after restarting SH3 for clicking and resetting the gamepad button

[flag4]

this has and is happening to me.
also, got a flak gunner who does not want to shoot down planes - i can not use it too.
i call for ahead flank and telegraph drops off to all stop. but it seems to work with commands below ahead flank - sometimes ????!!!!!!
sometimes i dont get any responce from the diesles and am just stuck there like a sitting duck.
if i call for crash dive, everything goes off except any kind of movement.....
it's driving me nuts cos i like my crew and dont want to die.........
but what to do - someone said my flak gun issue is a bug of some kind. the other things probably malfunctions/sabotague - even though i dont have the sabotague enabled ???????????????????

i'm wondering if any of the GWX technicians have any ideas around this please help !!!!

The malfunctions/sabotage mod only affects "Load Times" for the flak guns, meaning that the gun will take forever to reload imitating a jammed weapon which was common after long periods under water. It has nothing to do with gunners refusing to fire or showing poor marksmanship.

as for the flank = dead part of the mod, a vast majority will have the given speed reduced, sometimes slightly acting as a mere annoyance, sometimes greatly reduced requiring the captain to consider his options about returning home or engaging in a surface action.

Sounds like a bug unrelated to the mod. Try hitting reverse slow then hitting ahead flank.

Hi flag4,

Did you at any time, enable any additional mod without first 'rolling back' SH3 Commander?

:hmm: , there's a thought. at one point i had restarted SH3 without rolling back, but i'm not sure if that was the cause as this happened the night before where i had rolled back, but only with the gamepad button not working until i reset the button in the profile

hi kpt lehmann,
thanks for getting back.

no. i have not enabled a mod.
i have though, once, come in to the game without coming in through sh3 commander. and on some previous saves i have saved underwater, but i went back and deleted them. this might be something ?

but dont know why flak gunner cant be bothered ? and i cant use it.
i have just refuelled with the Bessel down at Vigo and tested the gun then; seems ok at the moment, i'll have to see.

i'm a liitle unclear here though; do i have to roll back sh3 every time i play sh3, or just click start. so i only roll back if i enable a mod whilst in port ?

cheers, flag4

You only "Rollback" if you intend on installing a mod or fiddling with the files.

and err, is there a way of testing for a bug...?

[Slick Rick]

I have had this happen also....late in a career....I assumed it was a malfunction as I use SH3Comdr. It actually caused me to sustain heavy damage during a Mosquito encounter....I couldnt get under in time and took quite a bashing.....

Actually, there are a few combination files(rare) which may not only affect your speed but also may be coupled with increased dive times. So not only will your boat be incapable of producing the desired speed but it may be sluggish in getting under. Hence the need to perform trial dives after leaving port along with all other tests. Performing an emergency dive to escape an aircraft is not the time to find that there is a problem somewhere.

Cheers!
