Not to be rude, but this isn't the pictures thread, it's the Newbies Help Guide thread.

Ok a possibly stupid question from a newbie. Started playing SH3 and attempting manual targeting. I keep shooting the ass off the few ships that come across my path and thats from less than 1000m. Cant hit bow or midships which leads me to guess I'm over calculating the range. Does the mast height in the recognition book include that bloody great flag on top? That must be good for 50m of distance or so. Cheers

Don't know who's in charge, so I'll post here...
When opening the Silent Hunter III Community Manual I get "tons" of errors like Notice: Only variable references should be returned by reference in /var/www/html/shiii/includes/SkinTemplate.php on line 136 But nothing wrong with content! Very nice work! |

Otherwise your underestimating the range (ship is further then you calculated) or your speed calculation is wrong (ship is faster then you calculated). |

Alright, I've got a question. I accidently deleted my progress, so I started a new campaign. The good news is that this time I figured out that if I start with the 7th Flotilla, I get a VIIB from the beginning!
Unfortunatly, my orders are to patrol grid AL36, which seems quite a bit away from Kiel. Can I dock and resupply at a dock without ending my mission? Also, what's the most fuel efficient method of general travel(i.e, surfaced/submerged, speed)? |

Docking pretty much ends your patrol.
Most efficient way of travel is ahead slow or ahead 1/3rd on the surface running diesels (one of your officers, either your chief or navigator can tell you your maximum range at your current speed). Generaly you should always be running at ahead slow to 1/3rd unless racing to get into position for an ambush. |

If I'm out of supplies (like torpedoes) can I dock with a Milk Cow and not lose my sinkings?

Anyone has a good way on attacking like warships (like black swan fregatte)?
I went close in silent running and monitored the course (it was before a port) and the ship was circleing. I estimated were it would have a rough 90' AOB, distance was ~500, but still the boat evades (I think at least) by braking or speeding up. Maybe the mistake was to use a T1 torp but it's much faster so I can estimate better when to shoot. Still got trouble on how to know when to shoot if doing it manually. |

High View
In using SH3, is there anyway that I can get a "high view" so that I can see the whole convoy, or see the aircraft fly over my sub and see the sub as well?

Navigation Problem
Hello,
I just starting playing SHIII and I am aready hooked. Just downloaded Grey Wolves mod and am loving every min of it. However I have run into a problem. Every now and then I intercept a radio message that use coordinates I do not understand. For example the message goes: SSS_ 45.29N 09.45W SS.(Name of ship) Anybody know how I can locate a ship based on these cooridate systems? Thansk in advance Alex |

Alex Weclome to SubSim first of all
The messages you get in Grey Wolves are actual historical messages from the second world war. They're there for imersion and eye-candy. The only way you have to intercept a ship is if you see a contact on the map and you plot an intercept course.
