Setkeys is good. It is what I use for SH3.

Keymapper is pretty good to. I use it in SH4. I believe either utility will work for either game, but I've been to lazy to really test it.

Try here for Keymapper:

What is the numpad 0 and Del stands for? They move the thing up and down, looks like antenna...

Is there a short cut key for adjusting your dive planes? I'm using a UK keyboard.

After first patrol log out of game go to sh3 docs then find patrol 0 at the end of it give all your crew medals 52 each medals in total go back to game then give all crew medals and then no fathigue

Why would you need two scopes to begin with? I don't see any difference in range...

The attack scope had a smaller head that poked up above the surface and was more difficult to spot. You give up light gathering ability though. Used for daylight submerged attacks.

The observation scope had a much bigger head and could gather more light. Of course with the bigger head sticking up above the surface, it could raise a bigger wake, making it easier to spot.

I think magnification settings were the same, but not sure off hand.

Oh yeah...and Welcome Aboard!

I like to set my attack scope at the firing bearing (firing ballistically using trigonometry). Rather than move my attack scope off that bearing, I pull it down and pop up my observation scope to look around.

The attack scope is finicky and getting it set to a half degree can be a frustrating experience. Once I get it set, I want to leave it alone until trigger time.

Observation scope is supposedly easier for the enemy to spot so use sparingly.

Brilliant thread. Especially, Enter to set TC to 0 and Space for deck gun target marking. Thanks to everyone who contributed. Having your actual plotted course in front of the Navigator, right clicking to go to the actual station and opening tube doors from the weapons position just blew my mind.

Great thread, wish I had found this one sooner!

A question though, does anybody remember the keys to reset the weather ingame? IIRC Dan said it was a debug thing that was left over and it made it into SH4 as well.

You might install H.sie V16B1 patch + Stiebler Env Sim Act 10 instead of manually reset the weather IMHO

Those 2 things makes the weather quite perfect

Just tested it in SH4 and it was Ctrl+Alt+N but doesn't seem to work with GWX. I was looking for the command more for a testing point of view, not for a normal career. Thank you all the same.

So I can see the various options of things to buy with my Reknown but I can't figure how to "pay" for something to get it added to my Boat before I go out on a new mission.
