two gw related questions

[rcs929]

Hi, subsimmers.

I have a couple of questions regarding the game.

1) I downloaded and installed the grey wolves mod last weekend & used the default install. I chose no map updating but my UZO id’s the target somewhat (doh I saw the option to disable this at install but then didn’t check it….grrr). How can I enable generic targeting info without reinstalling GW to choose this option? Is there a file I can edit somewhere to remove the instant generic id?

2) I’m trying to evade DD’s with silent running at a speed of one to two knots and the boat sinks. How can I remain buoyant and silent, a speed of 3 knots appears to be noticed by the escorts? If I have deep enough water I try to use a silent speed then let the boat drop to a deep depth. Then I set ahead standard to get the boat back up to 50m to 100m then set 1-2 knots & let the boat drop back down to the deep. How you do you guys maintain depth & speed while evading DD’s?

1) Easiest option is just to reinstall 1.1A straight over your existing one
No need to do anything else other than that - better than trying to change\edit files

2) :hmm: Never noticed that before
My boat normally stays on depth even at 0 speed
What you are describing sounds similair to the NYGM anti hummingbird effect but thats not included in GW

I don't know if the loss of bouyancy (sp.?) is related to Grey Wolves. But yes, I've definetly experienced it, too.

There is NO Negitive Bouancy in GW1.1a - period.
If your subs slowly sinking then all I can think of is you have a slow leak somewhere thats not been repaired. Either that or your helmsmen sucks, try a qualified helmsmen.

it was the convoy attack training mission & the personnel were raw recruits if I remember correctly. Will upgrade my helmsmen for the actual patrol.

I will reinstall GW over my current install to change that targeting option. Makes me mad cause I looked right at it, new what it was then decided, 'well let's try out the default install'.

Thank you all for your input, I appreciate it!

Sounds like a case of the "crash dive blues". If you change depth after initiating a crash dive your boat will slowly sink at the stern at slower speeds. Reissue the crash dive and let it take its course until you hit 70m.
