Hi,
Because of ram limit, you can't play full interior + widescreen. It is written in wac5's installation manual. |

Renown and sinking neutral
Ahoi,
@ArnoldR Very interesting : Did you made these changes in basic.cfg from Cfg folder of Data folder ? Neutral:1 Allied:1 Axis:-1 In mine it's : [RENOWN] RenownReachGridObjCompleted=500 RenownPatrolGridObjCompleted=200 CompletedPatrol=100 NEUTRAL=-1 ALLIED=1 AXIS=-10 WrongShipSunk=-5000 FirstRankRenown=1000 SecondRankRenown=3500 EndCampaign=-5000 Playing via SHCommander with realistic career disabled and start mission at sea + Detection GWX for WAC5 mod. Did Patrol 15 with new IXC in March-April 1941. Attacked convoy coming from USA in AL grid. There were neutral ships (marked green). Not targeting neutral and launched my 4 bow torpedoes . Can't see resullts because 5 escorts ships rapidly discovered me and makes me crash dive + silent running at 200m. 45 mn dephtcharging. Escape. Sank 3 ships confirmed by log : on the map one marked red, one grey and the last one not marked - I think because I was to deep and / or too far from sinking place. After 1 week returning back to Wilhelmshaven : dead within 20km of basis with finishing patrol at base with no explication. Reload several times, tried at the end to finish same way much nearer to base. Not dead but degradated from Kaleu to ObLt with an approximatevely -4500 in renown for patrol. No explication too from game (BDU). Nevertheless stange game behaviour. In conclusion I think I must have sink a neutral but it was really hard paid. Did the patrol again as I really was not agree with this outcome. Attacking convoys with neutral ships and trying to solve multiple targets especially the more valuables - awlays in the middle of convoys - can have the most worst consequences. I only miss the lack of information from the game when such things happened. Patrol logs from game or SHCommander don't mentioned the nationality of ships too. Greetings

Additional features for WAC5 ?
Ahoi,
I was wondering myself if following could be added to WAC : - dephtcharge shake like NvDrifter did. - adding new harbours based on Thfeu58's work. - Blue Interior light like FlakMonkey's : we have yellow for day, red for night. Blue could be for silent running besides it was historically not the case. I tried to use these with no great success with GWX before, only dephtcharge shake was satisfying. Greetings

Is Patrol 15 the end of game ?
Ahoi,
Trying more than 10 times to finish patrol 15 with at the end only to be dead ! Flotilla 2 Wilhelmshaven ordered each time to patrol grid BF 29 as primary (tried between March-April 1941 with brand new IXC and then back to my old VIIB). Then ordered to attack Loch Ewe (rather suicidal : one try) and when trying to catch convoys in AL always CTDs or bad weather : 15 (no chance). Then BDU order : cross Strait of Gibraltar (2 times if you will go back) and patrol grid CO (especially 25-26 when Greece evacuated) : did it in last play but return where (did one time Thalia : CTD) only with 25% fuel ? And no ship activity in Mediterranean : i'm playing Baltic-Atantic campaign. Nonsense . What's the purpose ? Why is BDU sending me to hell ? Each time when succeeding ending patrol near base witn no more torpedoes and not following BDU orders : dead or degradated with -5000 in renown. Is it a way to say me I've done enough ? No retirement with honour and promotion ? When yes, BDU is really not grateful. Perhaps I should fight next time with the other side ? Greetings

Number of patrols
Ahoi,
@ArnoldR Thank you very much. I apply the changes you've done + EndCampaign=5000 (could be 0 later too), as a try. This will be my first tiny modding attempt in SH3. As I try now BDU to be send packing, I will wait first Flotilla 2 be transferred to Lorient basis and will at least be lost at sea as Kapitän z.See. Redo again patrol 15 and will reload it when ending it till I docked alive and be able to start patrol 16. And I agree with you about career length features. I did other small changes to see if it works (only in .cfg and .menu files). I took a long time in searchs in older posts of Subsim Radio Forum to see some specific subjects. I understand now much more, I hope, what happened to me in last patrols.

I will try next time to leave game after these changes + roll-back and quit SH3Cdr and relaunch the all for next patrol. Will see what happens. Greetings

Wo ist die Lange Anna ?
Ahoi HanSolo, Did a detour to Helgoland in my last patrol (an island I often visited before in real life : part of my familly is from Bremen and as I was a kid I often made Butterfahrten mid70s-80s when Europe was not a single customs area as today). But near to it I was deeply shocked. Wat ? Wie ? Waar is de Lange Anna ??? Please can you do a big favour only for me and replace this awful pyramid against the Lange Anna / Nathurn Stak. Besides joking if I can help I'm ready. Moin, moin.

I "beat" BDU
Ahoi,
I made my 16th patrol Mai-June 1941 and finally have been ordered to transfer to Lorient while at sea when less than 10% fuel and 8 torpedoes remaining. Patrol not successful only sink a carrier Indifatigable + damaging Renown and 3 ships (1 was a wreck) and could only follow by radio the sinking of Bismarck : too far for helping. And I saw the nice U-Boot bunkers of Lorient. Wilhelmshaven was becoming a little too hot : nice welcoming home by Halifax group bombing you when nearing basis and thinking you are safe now, especially at end of patrol 15 in the night + weather 12. Same when leaving basis for Patrol 16 this time at day and 2 bomber wawes. I docked and was again dead as for patrol 15 but I cheat. The only information when a career is ended is given by SH3Cdr in the Personal File Update at the end of it. And SH3Cdr gives you the choice too to surrender instead to be lost at sea in main screen + info Personal File. Will launch Patrol 17. Greetings

He made Helgoland as good as he could because there are several SH3 limitations in changing terrain. I myself also used the terrain editor a long time ago. So... the question is if the nescessary changes could be made with the SH3 terrain limitations. @Anvar1061 Try to use WAC5.1 basic.cfg for black sea SH3 commander start. I reduced the black sea campaign basic.cfg a lot to have only type IIA available. Last edited by HanSolo78; 10-01-19 at 03:31 PM. |

Renown penalties
Ahoi Capt. Morgan,
This happened to me now too at the end of Patrol 18 : attacked convoy - all marked red - and intentionally targeted Carham Hospital Ship with British flag; result -5000 in renown. I think the thing to do is to change the value as ArnoldR explained in the Basic.cfg file - in Cfg subfolder of Game Data folder. Set values now to and will see next : [RENOWN] RenownReachGridObjCompleted=500 RenownPatrolGridObjCompleted=200 CompletedPatrol=100 NEUTRAL=1 ALLIED=1 AXIS=-1 WrongShipSunk=-1 FirstRankRenown=1000 SecondRankRenown=3500 EndCampaign=5000 Greetings

[QUOTE=HanSolo78;2630200]Well.. a long long time has passed since Helgoland was made by TigerKatziTatzi in 2006 if I remember correct.
He made Helgoland as good as he could because there are several SH3 limitations in changing terrain. I myself also used the terrain editor a long time ago. So... the question is if the nescessary changes could be made with the SH3 terrain limitations. Ahoi HanSolo, Thank you for your answer. Schade, Schade. OK when Terrain limitations then no use to do it in anyway. They are for sure other features that are better for game improvement as you said. Preparing for Patrol 19 September 1941. Moin.
