R.T.F.M. SH-3 and GWX aren't the problem.


It's the DA users.

And that was about the only time it ever happened. Early in the war before Allied harbour defences were properly strengthened. Aside from laying mines, most U-Boats kept well away from the shallow waters of busy harbours.

Ya and even then he had to squeeze his way very carefully through a small gap in the underwater defenses. Had the planners of the mission not discovered the gap, I don't think anyone would've ever tried it.

Apart from Prien's harbour penetration, there wern't any other U-boat penetration attempts.

The Italians and the British on the other hand, used experimental craft to make harbour penetrations throughout the war.

Adding to the Prien discussion, the mission was planned by Doenitz himself after much study of aerial photographs and much planning. It really was a one-time event.

It's a known bug and JScones is currently in talks with SMEG trying to discover the file incompatibilities.

We think SMEG will install a auto roll-back button next to the chill dial.
Yes. In the meantime I have had to withdrawal support for owners of smeg fridges. Fortunately for Westinghouse owners though, their latest Ovens now come with a compatible file set "built in", so owners should no longer see their chicken pies come out tasting like beef...

The location of where I crash every time is the small passage in between Portsmouth and Southampton, i was heading NWW towards Southampton.
IIRC there is a minefield in the passage between Portsmouth and Southampton that may be causing your problems. I'll have a look tonight and see if that may be causing you the problems, or maybe someone can do it today.

Have you tried pressing 'L' to lock your periscope onto the ship? If you can see the ship and press 'L' it should lock the periscope onto the ship and recognise it.

I left the room for a minute while playing GWX.

When I got back my Sub Sandwich was missing.
