Hm, yes you right. Thank you very much.

What's mean "name" strings in Flotilla.cfg? Looks like they mean nothing.

Hi I am new here. Just started playing SH3 and I love it although still trying to figure out how to make decent torpedo attacks lol. Anyway guys I hope to have lots of conversations about this sim as I LOVE IT. Now I downloaded SH3 direct from the ubisoft site, am I able able to download mods? I have been looking at the v17 mod and it looks brilliant is it available yet? If not can I download the v15? I know sorry lots of questions but I have been spending quite a few albeit enjoyable hours trying to get to grips with it. Thanks guys and hope to see you around.

Hi guys, you will be getting sick of me now posting but I have run into a problem. I have tried downloading the grey wolves gold patch and it wont install. I have tried downloading the 2015 version and that also wont install. I have tried looking for the silent hunter 3 patch to 1.4b and cant find that either. I have spent around 4 hours downloading these two mods and looking at how to install them and no luck at all. If anyone can guide me in the right direction please do. By the way I am no IT geek I just like to play, so if anyone can provide me with simple instructions I would be most grateful. Thanks.

Hi, i've recently started playing the modded version of SH111. The problem i'm having is that after i've used my 3 torpedoes the 2 spare are not reloading, this is frustrating. Any ideas?

Welcome abroad
You have to drag them to an empty slot to reload
Make sure the crew is rested otherwise they wont work to reload the tubes

Use SH3 Commander to avoid crew fatigue

Press "I" to bring up the ammunition load out screen. Type II u-boats should begin with torps in 1, 2, & 3 and two additional reloads.

Is auto reload, in the top left hand corner, checked? If yes, the additional reloads should automatically load assuming you have enough sailors in the forward torpedo room.

If unchecked, you must manually click and drag them to a torpedo tube.

Depending on your realism setting and the number of crew in torpedo room, it can take a bit of time for the torpedo to actually move. You'll be able to see the status as it is being moved.

Some or all of this, you may already know but I hope this is helpful.

Howdy. I'm pretty new and have gotten a hold of most of the game's mechanics so far but one thing I'm having a problem with is knowing what ships I'm actually allowed to sink.

Do I just have to look up online what nations were at war with who at the time? Is there a way in game to know?

As a new SH3 player, fresh from the Steam page, this thread is supremely useful. Many thanks to everyone who put in their time and effort.

Moinsen, fellow sub commanders!

I'm not new to sub sims in general nor Silent Hunter in particular. After finding out there is a vivid modding history I decided to join, because I have rather specific ideas, what I want but couldn`t get answers to all my related questions.
I appreciate all the work, time and effort various people put into this forum and the game itself and I am quite confident, some of you can help out....

Greetings from U-Mate

Just restarting in SH3, I see it's still in my Steam directory - yay. But I'm confused re mods - do they act against the version I have downloaded and installed from Steam or do I have to buy my own somehow from somewhere?
