to figure out what happened i enabled external view, reloaded my game... went to the place where i died and sure enough the area was infested with mines.

thats the cause of your problem... it WAS a mine.

I think so too, it was a mine, but I blame TC or SH3 commander not stoping it on time as the H.I. shows the hit was not criticall yet

Dont blame the most fantastic tool for SH3 ever for it. In the end its the fault of SH3 alone (and maybe a weak/slow system).

It happened to me too. But ages ago. Mines wont destroy your complete hull, but the damage they do to you is so extrme that you mostly die instantly.

I even survived a mine once. It was with GWX 1.0 or maybe 1.03. My bow compartments were totally ruined. All Torpedotubes were gone and the whole crew in the bow are too. I had heavy flooding, but stopped it just in time and made it back to uh... I guess it was Brest...

Mines suck! They can ruin the finest career in no-time!

You survived only because TC worked fine I bet, or u weren't at TC at all. 84 % of H.I. is a peace of cake to handle with damages, but not when TC goes on 256 faster real time and water flowes in on an eye blink!
And my system is average (AMD sempron 3400+, 1GB of RAM, Nvidia GF6600), this is definetely something with SH3 commander's TC settings malfunction on critical hits

SHIII Commander has nothing to do with this my friend. Blame the British who came up with the idea of mining that area smart on their behalf

The British had a spy camera in that exact area, I think this may have been you

No I've been on surface when that s*** happened

Nevermind, I got my two pints of beer at the pub, to calm myself down a little Next time I will be more carefull around this place for sure..

Will begin new career next week, got to coupe myself in thinking that Sh3 commander has no quick reaction to my criticall hit. Can't find any other explanations..

BTW what does the critical hit means ? I'm telling you: SH3 Commander ain't stoping TC when hiting the mines !!!!!!!!! and that really pisses me off!!!!!! LOOOOL

Hang on, wtf has SH3Cmdr got to do with this? It's not even running when SH3 runs! You've even been told it's unrelated by a few people. READ!

You hit a mine, guaranteed. There's a British minefield in the region throughout 1940. Your TC didn't drop to 1 because you died before it had the chance to. HI does not need to be 0% before you die.

FFS, learn from your mistake and get over it.

I think S3cmd had to stop TC to 1 when I got the -1% of damage! and if HI is only 84% so even with one section fully destroyed I could still manage to go back to port! and that should not mean all the crew is lost. It's a shame it did not happened.

Whatever.. let's say it wount happen again, I will make a big circle around this damned island on my next career!

Sigh, yes, it's all caused by SH3Cmdr, and you didn't hit a mine, that was SH3Cmdr too; it randomly sunk you and then bumped up your HI to cover itself and confuse you. It's cunning plan nearly worked, but it's obvious that you're one smart cookie that can't be fooled and saw straight through it. Well done.

Personally, I recommend that you uninstall SH3Cmdr, as it's obvious that it is causing all of your problems, even though it is not running at the time. Then you can be free to sail through the exact same area over and over again.

Then you'd get: "SH3Cmdr didn't uninstall correctly! TC still isn't dropped! Aaaarggh!!!"

I love sarcasm too, it's just that war is a bitch when it ends up with loosing like that

Hmm, good point. Looks like a full hard drive re-format is the only solution then. Sorry Contact.
