So I'm the worst sailor to ever boot up a naval game... - Page 2

Another option for "seat of the pants" shooting is to set the target speed to zero. This will turn your periscope/UZO into a point-and-shoot weapon. Estimate the amount you need to lead the target, and fire away.

Not sure why some people have mentioned not being able to switch between manual and automatic targeting during the campaign. that option is always there I believe. I think you need to not select full manual targetting at the beginning of the career. That way you can still have the assist of the weapons officer if you like or do all the calculations yourself.

Yeah, I just noticed that little button on the targeting screen that lets you manually adjust stuff, even if you don't select manual when setting up a career. Cool. Now I can waste fish trying to hit the braodside of that barn...

LOL Avon Lady if I saw that one I would dive hard and away no telling what kind of ASW Capt. Noah might have on board that ship.

And magnetic pistols are useless against it.

Avon Lady, the periscope is a great touch...

I hereby also claim the title of "dumbest modder to ever try SHIII".

I somehow managed to not only boot up the game, but even play through a whole patrol (!) without AI_Sensors.dat. At all.

For those who don't know what that means - I managed to completely castrate the enemy AI :rotfl: That, and cause a few crashes.

I'm surprised. It's the first time I've seen a game run without one of its key files being present

And I was wondering why that Britisher didn't see me surface five feet in front of his corvette
