Download SH3Commander if you haven't already (available fron the downloads section as well as my FF account-link above my sig).

If your playing GWX you will need the Commander CFG file (again available from my FF account).

Open up the game via Commander and choose the new career option and set up the necessary parameters ie. flotilla, date and Uboat type et.

I am not running GWX so can I use the commander download anyway??

Thanks

Yes, you can use Commander without GWX.

It's a great program that adds a lot of nice little utilities for enhancing careers. Be sure to RTFM before taking it for a spin

Gargamel · 03-06-11, 04:45 PM

OK, that answers the question.

By not using a Supermod (GWX, etc etc) you ARE cheating.

Stock is too easy.

To me, painstakingly earning promotions, awards, and qualifications is part of what makes the game fun, and is what builds serious attachment to your boat and crew, since it takes days of real-time play to attain them

Johnfb · 03-07-11, 04:56 PM

Okay, okay.

So I have just started a new game, and this time due to immense pressure from this forum (

) I have set offto see in a basic model with full crew with no medals , experience, loads of fatigue..and worse of all a player who is still on a hard learning curve (basically crap at SH3).

So if I die and all my men die and slip into a watery grave, then I am blaming all you guys (

)

My crappy sub is heading off now, on my other PC, those poor guys are shaking in their oil skins........

Davy Jones' locker awaits us...hope you are all happy now.....

Gereke · 03-07-11, 05:58 PM

The experience will make you a better Kaleun in the long run.

TabbyHunter · 03-07-11, 10:02 PM

Mm, stear clear of any warships that can hurt your underwater, and you might make it to the end of the war......or not.

TBH, the experience of your crew and your amount of renown you have, have very little effect on whether you live or die.

Sure, a fully experienced crew makes your job easier, as they do everything better, and faster, but you're still running the boat. It's your decisions that put the boat into the situations that you find yourself.

Run Flank speed at 100m depth with 4 destroyers chasing you? Sure, go ahead, but don't blame the new guy in the crew.

And you can't account for pure dumb luck, like getting run over by a destroyer in a zero visibility storm.

Short of modding the hell out of the boat itself, so it flies, shoots nuclear eels, and makes a mean latte; the game is about your decisions, not the mechanics of the system.

TabbyHunter · 03-08-11, 01:54 AM

I've found that a J class can ram be at 34knts in a full storm, and i don't even take 1% hull dammage, but the warship blows up, splits, blows up again, then sinks, hits me, and i die.....

Im still not sure what happend.

Actually I agree with everything you say there.

That is an old stock issue that has since been rectified in some of the supermods....certainly in GWX anyway.
